Adopter Pumba
Croisé · Mâle · Jeune · 3 ans
Pumba est venu avec sa mère et deux frères lors de notre action de stérilisation du 8e. Elle n'avait qu'un mois à l'époque et allaitait encore. La famille entière est venue avec nous à Athènes. Le petit a été sevré, a grandi, a grandi davantage et est devenu un chien grand, maigre et impressionnant. Ces couleurs et ces motifs sur son visage lui donnent l'air d'être habillé d'un masque artistique. Il a toujours été un bébé très, très, très doux, et pendant que nous étions en action, il a été castré, c'était notre préféré, car il était le plus dodu, le plus timide, et le seul de ses frères qui n'était pas blanc. En grandissant, c'était toujours le chiot qui ne prenait jamais l'initiative, mais qui essayait d'imiter les autres chiots. Si ses amis jouaient avec un jouet, il essayait aussi de jouer. Si ses amis couraient, il courait aussi. Si ses amis allaient demander des caresses aux gens, il y allait aussi, en dernier, avec une innocence et une hésitation très mignonnes. Si vous le touchez, vous découvrirez la plus spéciale fourrure disponible chez un chien (selon nous !). Elle est dense, bouclée, bien que pas assez longue pour boucler, avec un pelage dur et trop dense. TROP dense. Les doigts ne peuvent pas passer à l'intérieur pour toucher la peau. Cette toison de mouton associée à son caractère innocent le rend spécial. Pumba est un chien qui veut être sûr de lui, mais ne sait pas comment. Il dépendait excessivement de son frère quand il était petit, puis a commencé à s'accrocher à d'autres chiens au refuge. Quand il est seul, il n'est pas du tout confiant, alors qu'en présence d'un autre chien pendant sa promenade ou dans son espace, il est beaucoup plus ouvert, c'est dans le cadre de son caractère. C'est le chien qui aura besoin de temps pour s'ouvrir et gagner en confiance, mais sera coopératif, même s'il est timide. Nous l'adorons beaucoup. Peut-être parce qu'il est si innocent, peut-être parce qu'il est le seul d'eux tous. VIDÉO

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
