Adopter Pumba
Krydsede raser · Mand · Ung · 3 år
Pumba kom med sin mor og to brødre, da vi var i Epiros, ved den 8. sterilisering. Hun var kun en måned gammel dengang, og hun var stadig ammende. Hele familien kom med os til Athen. Den lille blev opdædt, voksede videre og blev til en høj, slank og imponerende hund. Disse farver og disse mønstre på hans ansigt gør, at han ser ud som om han bærer et kunstnerisk maske. Han var altid meget, meget, meget sød, og mens vi var i aktionen blev han kastet, og han var vores favorit, fordi han var den mest runde, skamhæftigste og den eneste af sine søskende, der ikke var hvid. Under opvæksten var det altid valpen, der ikke tog initiativ, men prøvede at imitere de andre valper. Hvis hans venner spillede med en legetøj, ville han også prøve at spille. Hvis hans venner løb, ville han løbe. Hvis hans venner gik til folk for at blive kærtegnet, ville han også gå, sidst, med en naivitet og tøven, der var meget sød. Hvis du berører ham, vil du få fat i det mest specielle pels, der findes i en hund (i vores syn). Det er tæt, krøllet, selvom det ikke er langt nok til at krølle, med hård pels og for tæt. FOR tæt. Fingrene passer ikke ind for at nå hud. Denne får-pels kombineret med hans naivitet gør ham særlig. Pumba er en hund, der vil have selvtillid, men ved ikke hvordan. Han var overfor afhængig af sin bror, da han var barn, og startede senere med at klamre sig til andre hunde i beskyttelsen. Når han er alene, har han ingen selvtillid overhovedet, mens når der er en anden hund på hans tur eller i hans område, er han meget mere åben, og det er inden for rammerne af hans karakter. Det er hunden, der skal have tid til at åbne sig og vinde selvtillid, men vil være samarbejdsvillig, selvom han er skamhæftig. Vi elsker ham meget. Måske fordi han er så naiv, måske fordi han er den eneste af dem alle. VIDEO

Pumba came with his mother and two siblings when we were in Epirus for our 8th spay and neuter mission. He was only one month old at the time and was still nursing. The whole family came back to Athens with us. The little one was weaned, grew up, grew some more, and turned into a tall, lean, strikingly handsome dog. He was always an incredibly sweet baby. During the spay and neuter mission, he was everyone’s favorite because he was the chubbiest, the shyest, and the only one among his siblings who wasn’t pure white. As he grew up, he was always the puppy who wouldn’t take initiative on his own, but would try to copy the other puppies. If his friends were playing with a toy, he would try to play too. If they ran, he would run too. If they went up to people for cuddles, he would follow them, always last, with such innocence and hesitation that it made you want to hold him and tell him not to worry, not to be afraid, and that he was doing everything just right. If you touch him, you’ll feel what is, in our opinion, the most unique coat a dog can have. It’s dense, almost curly even though it’s not long enough to form curls, with coarse hair and an unbelievably thick undercoat. VERY thick. Your fingers can barely get through it to reach his skin. That sheep-like coat, combined with his innocent personality, makes him truly special. Pumba is a dog who wants to feel confident, but doesn’t quite know how yet. When he’s alone, he lacks confidence, but when another dog is around during walks or in his space, he becomes much more open and expressive. Still, this has slowly started to change. Pumba goes on walks regularly with our volunteers and has gradually become more affectionate and outgoing, even when there isn’t another dog beside him. He may still need some time to fully open up and trust, but he is cooperative despite his shyness. He has also stayed in a foster home, which helped us learn more about him. He is incredibly gentle and loving with the people who care for him, but hesitant around strangers. He’s not the kind of dog who gets excited when visitors come over, and ideally he shouldn’t be pressured into interacting with people he doesn’t trust. He bonds deeply with the person who takes care of him and spends the most time with him, and he may even remain cautious around family members he doesn’t know well. Pumba needs proper guidance and handling so his insecurities won’t stand in the way of his happiness. The ideal home for him would be a calm household without many people or small children. He could live with another dog, as long as there is balance and clear boundaries for both animals. VIDEO
