Adottare Neva

We wish we could keep every dog that comes into our care through our spay and neuter programs, but we know that is simply not possible. Some dogs, however, cannot be returned to the neighborhoods where they happened to be living, either because they are too vulnerable due to illness or because of their age. That is how Neva came to our shelter, and she will only leave us again when she finds her forever home. A black and white puppy, fluffy and innocent, with wide, round brown eyes filled with the purity of childhood, watching and trying to make sense of the world around her. With patience and love, we want to show her that the world can be a beautiful place, that people can be kind, and that life can be good. When Neva first arrived, we thought she would grow into a large dog because she had features that resembled those of a livestock guardian dog. But as time passed, Neva showed no signs of becoming the big shepherd-type dog we expected. Instead, she grew into a medium-sized dog who remains fluffy and gentle, but also carries a fair amount of distrust toward people. We do not know exactly why. Or perhaps we have an idea: Neva had a predisposition that, unfortunately, we were not able to help her overcome effectively while she was still a young puppy. Even so, she is cooperative and tolerant. She happily wears her harness, enjoys her walks, and accepts affection from the people she knows and trusts, especially those who do not pressure her into situations that make her uncomfortable. We believe Neva has all the potential to become a loving and devoted companion, provided she joins a home where she is given the space and time she needs to adjust and where trust can be built gradually and consistently.
