Update 18.1.2026: Our shy little princess. Soraya is already 5 1/2 years old and has spent almost her entire life at the shelter- around 4 years. She is a dog who is often overlooked because of her insecurity. Soraya doesn’t allow strangers to approach her, but with people she knows and trusts, she shows her truly charming and gentle personality She is not only insecure around humans, but also sensitive in situations like storms or loud noises. Soraya is a very gentle soul who is looking for a calm and rural home, where she will be given the time she needs to feel safe and settle in. An experienced and confident resident dog would be very welcome in her future home. Soraya gets along well with other dogs and especially enjoys playing with smaller ones. Soraya is about 40 cm tall and weighs 16 kg. She is waiting for someone who sees her not as shy- but as special A new year bring also new hope for Soraya who has been with us for quite some time. Update 29.8.2025: A new photo of Soraya (here with Charlie): Update 29.06.2025: So-who? SORAYA! If you’ve ever visited the shelter, you’ve probably… never met her at all… Soraya came to us in 2021, along with her three babies—Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. She was rescued from a life on a chain. Frightened and timid, yet fiercely protective of her puppies, Soraya slowly began to blossom in her own quiet way. Soraya’s still a shy girl, but once she trusts you, she’ll let you into her small, special world—and it’s truly one of the most rewarding feelings ever. Soraya enjoys belly rubs when the timing and setting feel right. She also loves to play with her dog friends when she feels safe. Soraya’s calm, quiet, clean, and never destructive. She adores soft blankets and her sofa. One of our caretakers lovingly nicknamed her “Her Majesty”— because that’s exactly how she acts sometimes—a little like a queen, or a bit of a diva. Soraya walks well on a leash but is sensitive to loud noises and sudden movements. Fo
