Piri-Piri

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sweetest Piri-Piri arrived to us with her small friend Rayo, without microchips and for a few weeks noone came looking for them. Once their picture was published for adoptions, their humans came to the shelter to take them back to the campo, but by that time, Rayo already had a knee operation to correct a previous operations results, and the invoice had to be at least partially covered. At the same time, the humans were informed, that Piri-Piri just needed to be sterilised as per law of dogs leaving the shelter, but as the owners wanted to produce puppies with her, then they did not want the dogs back anymore once she had been sterilised, and now both are looking for their individual new homes. Piri-Piri is very human-loving, she adores the volunteers and loves all attention. She will come to your lap, snuggle her nose in your armpit and do a happy dance with her helicopter tail. Piri walks very well on the leash and loves to go hiking with all her humans, and also her canine friends. Around the shelter she is pulling a bit on the leash due to lack of exercise, and because of the stress. She is coming from the countryside and is used to running around freely, now she is locked in a limited space kennel. Piri-Piri is looking for a family, who is happy about a dog looking for physical connection, and where no members of the family are scared of a dog occasionally jumping up on you, or intensely approaching you for attention and cuddles. She has such a sweet, kind presence, a child-like character, that makes you feel your parental instincts, wanting to take care of her and keep her safe. In the shelter Piri lives together with a group and she is very social with other dogs. At the same time, life in a kennel, with all the stress around, sometimes makes her a bit bossy with some of her kennel friends, of course we need to take into account that they are 4-5 dogs in one space, with nowhere to go if one of them wants space and quiet.... Piri could very well join a household with another friendly, social dog, or she could also be an only dog, as she is very human-oriented. In this case, regular canine socialisation should be provided to her, so she remains a well socialised friendly girl. Even though Piri is lovely with all humans she meets, then for her forever home, in case of children, they should be above 10 years old, due to her enthusiasm for physical contact. Her shoulder height is approximately 48cm.
