Adopter Ivy
Krydsede raser · Kvinde · Ung · 3 år
Opdatering 26.6.2025: Vi giver ikke op med hende for at finde en bostedshjem. 1982 dage, det er 5 år og 5 måneder, hun allerede har tilbragt i dyrehaven. Tiden går videre, hun bliver ældre, men endnu ingen har vist sig for hende. Og alligevel – Ivy er en af de sødeste sjæle, du nogensinde har mødt. Mod mennesker er hun ekstremt venlig, lydighedsfuld og vilje til at lære. Hvad gør det så svært for hende at finde et hjem? På grund af hendes arv er hun ikke passende til et hjem med andre dyr. Hun har en stærk jagtlyst, især mod katte. Hun behøver et hjem, der giver hende kærlighed, tålmodighed og konsekvens. Ivy skal have nogen, der kender hendes rasse og hvad det kræver at lede en hund som hende. I øjeblikt er hun 8 år gammel og vejer 21 kg. Opdatering 14.02.2022: "Hej og glade Valentinsdag til alle! Jeg er den flotte IVY og jeg leder efter en familie for mig selv med mennesker, der kan give følgende: Kærlighed. Stille. Forståelse. Konsekvens. Hvis du mangler noget af ovenstående, desværre er jeg ikke den rette hund til dig, men måske kender du nogle, der ved det, så please fortsæt at læse og del! Tak!☺️ En regnfuld vintermorgen i januar 2020 blev jeg bundet til hegnene ved Souda-dyrehaven sammen med min ven Brian. Jeg er en Pitbull-krydsning og ca. 4 år gammel, kastreret og omkring 23,5 kg. Jeg kommer direkte til sagen: Jeg har et lille problem. Jeg har en stor jagtlyst og derfor passer jeg ikke godt med små, hurtigt bevægende, hårfulde ting som katte, kaniner, høner osv., men også skrækkede hunde eller usædvanlige puppeadførsel kan udløse mig? Udendørs er jeg altid på udkig efter det næste, der sker, og jeg fokuserer for meget på min omgivelser. MEN en dag i sidste uge besluttede denne mærkelige plejepersonale Amelie at arbejde med mig i sin fritid, for nogle ukendte grunde synes jeg at have berørt hendes hjerte meget dybt og hun lovede mig at gøre alt hvad hun kan for at give mig en real chance til at finde min egen familie. (Hun er virkelig blød, ey??) Med hjælp fra hundetræner Chaniacrete startede vi med at arbejde med nogle af mine problemer. I starten havde jeg intet impulsstyring, siger de, men jeg har allerede gjort store fremskridt, siger de også! Vil jeg nogensinde kunne leve sammen med katte eller lignende? NEJ, men jeg kan lære at være rolig og håndtere mig bedre i situationer, hvor jeg ikke kan undgå dem. Med den rette person ved min side ved jeg, at jeg kan klare det! Wow, du er stadig her? Du læser stadig dette? Så fortjener du at høre alle de gode ting om mig, også, og der er masser!??? Du ser, jeg er faktisk ret fantastisk. Først og fremmest, i en miljø, hvor jeg er rolig og føler mig tryg, er jeg absolut en vidunderlig og letfattelig hund. Jeg er en meget ren pige og elsker at pisse og spytte udenfor. Jeg er ikke en barker. Jeg elsker at tage bilture og jeg får ikke bilryst. Jeg kender grundlæggende kommandoer og hvordan man går med snor. Jeg er meget madmotiveret, hvilket gør træning med mig sjov og nem. Desuden har jeg aldrig vist tegn på aggresion mod nogen mennesker. Vel, jeg tror, det ligger ikke i mig, ved du. Uanset hvor anspændt og hvor spændt jeg kan være om noget ofte, går jeg aldrig imod min ejer eller andre. Løbere. Børn. Yoga-personer. Uforudsigelige cyklister, der næsten kører os over? – Det er okay? At møde nye folk? – Jeg elsker at møde nye folk. Jo mere jo bedre! Til lægen? En injektion? – Nej, problem for mig! Vores læger elsker mig, men jeg elsker dem mere! Faktisk elsker jeg mennesker så meget, at jeg ville gerne være hos dem hele tiden! Jeg elsker at klemme mig ind i din skøde (selvfølgelig er jeg lidt for stor til at være en skødedog?), rulle rundt på ryggen for at få nogle maveklemmer og give dig masse snavsige kysser på dit flotte ansigt? Jeg elsker også vand og vil aldrig miste en chance for at tage en friskvask i havet. Lad os gå til stranden sammen! Min jagtlyst er tidligere blevet forstået forkert som aggresion mod andre hunde, men det er ikke tilfældet. Jeg er ganske dominante, men jeg har ikke et problem med andre hunde generelt, så længe de har en bestemt holdning og så længe jeg introduceres til dem på en korrekt måde. At gå på fodtage med andre hunde er ikke et problem og at møde hunde uden for, som jeg ikke kender, fungerer godt i mange, mange tilfælde. Hektisk brummen, hurtige bevægelser, katte og lignende udløser mig stadig, men nu har jeg lært godt at sætte mig i situationer, som jeg ikke føler mig komfortabel med, og med hver situation, som jeg mestres godt, bliver jeg lidt mere rolig og lidt mere selvtilliden. Selvfølgelig skal jeg have mere tid, men du skal forstå, jeg kendte ikke disse ting tidligere, ingen gav mig chancen for at lære, hvordan man adfører sig på den rigtige måde, i stedet for at jeg blev forladt i dyb vinter af min ejer, som jeg elskede mere end noget andet, og jeg blev kastet til forholdenes velgører, heldigvis nok for at få omsorg til ikke at overlade os ud i kulden til at dø. Ved du, jeg elsker folk i dyrehaven. De er venlige, og jeg er taknemmelig for dem. De giver mig klemmer, omfamninger og legetøj og slik, men jeg elsker ikke dyrehaven overhovedet. Så mange hunde, så megen støj. Du må måske ikke tro det, fordi jeg altid spiller den hård pige, men jeg er meget følsom og dyrehaven gør mig så anspændt og meget trist? Jeg barker ikke meget, men nogle gange græder jeg. Jeg sidder i min kage og græder, håber en dag nogen kan høre mig og kommer og tager mig hjem, selvom jeg ikke er perfekt. Måske er du netop den person? Måske er du min Valentine? Meget kærlighed og snavsige kysser til jer alle, Ivy?" Racer som Ivy er altid i stor fare for at blive nedlagt med blot mindre incident. Derfor, selvom vi alle ønsker hende på at forlade dyrehaven i morgen, kan hun kun gå til en erfaren og ansvarlig ejer. Jeg er ikke en stor fan af ordet "erfarne", selvom det kan betyde alt og ingenting. Jeg foretrækker at bytte det ud med ordet "forstående". Forståelsen af, hvad præcis det kræver at give den rigtige miljø for Ivy. De fleste af Ivis "problemer" skyldes en stor mængde angst, som hun har inde i sig. Hendes ejer skal tage denne angst fra hende trin for trin, ved at holde sig rolig i situationer, Ivy endnu ikke kan holde sig rolig. Ivy har brug for

Gender: female Birthday: 2018 Castrated/ Neutered: yes Weight: 23,5kg Back story: Ivy was abandoned with her brother Brian. Both were tied to the fence next to the shelter in January 2020. Description/Updates/Pictures: Update December 2025: Ivy, our sweet girl, absolutely loves people. She could happily spend all her days playing (in the water), cuddling and soaking up all the loves she´s been denied for such a long time. We understand that certain prejudices come with this breed, but we really hope people can look past that a little bit and truly see the dog. See Ivy. Smart. Beautiful. Goofy. Playful. Loving. Update June 2025: We’re not giving up on her to find a forever home. 1982 days, that’s 5 years and 5 months she has spend already at the shelter. Time keeps passing, she’s getting older but still no one showed up for her. And yet- Ivy is one of the sweetest souls you ever met. Towards humans she’s extremely friendly, obedient and eager to learn. What makes it so hard for her to find a home ? Due to her genetics she’s not suitable for a home with any other animals. She has a strong prey drive, especially towards cats. She needs a home, that provides her love, patience and consistency. Ivy needs someone who’s knows her breed and what it takes to lead a dog like her. Update 14. February 2022: “Hello and happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! I’m the gorgeous IVY and I’m looking for a family of my own with people that can provide the following: Love. Calm. Understanding. Consistency. If you lack in any of the above, unfortunately, I’m not the right dog for you, but maybe you know someone who knows someone, so please go on reading and share! Thank you! On one could rainy winter morning in January 2020 I was tied to the fence next to the Souda Shelter together with my buddy Brian. I’m a Pitbull mix and approximately 4 years old, neutered, and about 23,5kg. l’ll get to the point straight away: I have a little problem. I have a huge prey drive and therefore do not get along with small, fast moving, furry things like cats, rabbits, chicken etc., but also timid dogs or weird puppy behavior can trigger me? Outdoors, I’m always looking for the next thing to happen and I’m focusing on my environment way too much. BUT a couple of weeks back this weird caretaker Amelie decided to work with me in her free time, because for some reason I seem to have touched her heart very deeply and she promised me to do everything she can to offer me a real chance to find my own family. (What a softy, ey??) With the help of Dogtrainer Chaniacrete we started working on some of my issues. In the beginning I had zero impulse control, they say, but I already made great progress, they say as well! Will I ever be able to live with cats or any alike? NO, but I can learn to stay calm and handle myself better in situations where I can’t avoid them. With the right person at my side, I know I can do it! Wow, you are still here? You are still reading this? Then you deserve to hear all the great stuff about me, too, and there is plenty!??? You see, I’m actually pretty awesome. First of all, in an environment where I’m calm and I feel save I’m an absolutely wonderful and easy going dog. I’m a very clean girl and like to pee and poop outside. I’m not a barker. I like to go on car rides and I don’t get car sick. I know basic commands and how to walk on a leash. I’m quite food motivated what makes training with me fun and easy. Also, I have never shown any signs of aggression towards any human. Well, I think, it’s just not in me, you know. No matter how anxious and how excited I can get about something sometimes, I never go against my person or others. Joggers. Kids. Yoga people. Reckless mountain bikers almost running us over? – That’s okay? Meeting new people? – I love meeting new people. The more the better! Going to the vet? An injection? – No, problem for me! Our vets love me, but I love them more! In fact, I like people so much I wish I could be with them all the time! I love to cuddle in your lap (though I´m a little too big to be a lap dog?), rolling around on my back to get some belly rubs and to give you loads of slobbery kisses all over your cute face? I also love water and I’d never miss a chance to take a refreshing dip into the sea. Let’s go to the beach together! My prey drive has been misunderstood in the past as aggression towards other dogs, but that’s not the case. I’m quite dominant, but I don’t have a problem with other dogs in general as long as they have a certain attitude and as long as I’m introduced to them in a proper way. Going on walks with other dogs is not a problem and meeting dogs outside that I don’t know already works well in many, many cases. Hectic barking, fast movements, cats and alike still trigger me, but by now I have learned well to sit out situations I’m not comfortable with and with every situation I master well I’m getting a bit calmer and a bit more confident. Of course, I will need more time, but you have to understand, I didn’t know all those things in the past, nobody gave me the chance to learn how to behave in the right way, instead I was abandoned in deepest winter by my human whom I loved more than anything else and I was thrown at the mercy of some people that fortunately cared enough not to leave us out there in the cold to die. You know, I like the people at the shelter. They are nice and I’m grateful to them. They give me cuddles and hugs and toys and treats, but I don’t like the shelter at all. So many dogs, so much noise. You might not think so, because I’m always playing the tough girl, but I’m very sensitive and the shelter makes me so anxious and very sad? I don’t bark much, but sometimes I cry. I sit in my kennel and I cry hoping someday somebody can hear me and comes to take me home even though I’m not perfect. Maybe you are this someone? Maybe you are my Valentine? Much Love and slobbery kisses to all of you Update December 2023: Breeds like Ivy are always in great danger of being put down with only the slightest incident. Therefore, as much as we all wish for her to leave the shelter tomorrow, she can only go to an experienced and responsible owner. I’m not a great fan of the word “experienced” though, because it can mean everything and nothing. I’d rather like to exchange it with the word “understanding”. The understanding of what exactly it takes to provide the right environment for Ivy. Most of Ivy’s “issues” are caused by a great amount of anxiety she has inside. Her human needs to take this anxiety from her step by step by staying calm in situations Ivy can’t stay calm yet. Ivy needs a loving, but constant and consequent leadership at all times. Then she will be able to show what an incredible animal she is in no time. To whoever read this until the end, thank you! I know somewhere out there has to be the right person for Ivy, so please let´s find this person together!?? Update January 2022: Amelie is walking Ivy. The task is to teach Ivy impulse control. She wants to get everything that s small and moves. Especially cats. She is anxious, wining, imploding, looking around. She met many cats on this walk and they are still on her mind. The alternative behaviour she should learn is to sit and not to get up unless Amelie says ok. Ivy is a very sweet loving dog. Update July 2021: Update September 2020: “You can’t honestly be scared of bullies (pitbulls, staffies, mastiffs, pressas, etc.). We are of the most obedient, human loving creatures on the planet. And we’re so darn cute.” January 2020: This morning these two staffies were left tied up to our neighbor’s fence. Dirty and neglected, these animals cannot tell us their past but it doesn’t seem like a good one.
