Gretel Adopted

We're delighted to announce Gretel was adopted by Rosemarie and Romeo Cuerpo on Saturday 7 August 2021, and we couldn't be happier.  Thanks so much for providing her with a loving home!

Gretel is one of two tiny puppies found huddled together in the middle of the main road In Dauin in April 2021.  They were around 4 weeks old when found and both were full of worms and mange mites.

Hansel and Gretel

Hansel was adopted later that month (see his story here), but the Distemper Outbreak earlier this year meant we had to suspend adoptions for a couple of months.  I  that time, Gretel developed into a very loving, excitable little girl, and was enjoying her first few explorations outside the Sanctuary on a leash.

Puppies in the Great Outdoors

Puppies in the Great Outdoors

When rescued puppies get a bit bigger, it's the best time to get them used to a collar or harness and leash or lead, and leave the comfort of the Sanctuary and explore THE GREAT OUTDOORS for the first time!

Dean out for a walk

Seeing these young dogs grow in confidence with each exploration is very rewarding, and we hope that their familiarity with the concept of "going for a walk" prepares them for life with an active family. Here are Sara, Dean, Juno and Gretal checking out life outside the Sanctuary.  If you want to know more about Adopting one of these lovelies, visit our Adoptions page.
