❄ What makes Esper special: Esper has epilepsy. Without medication, she has a seizure about once a month. She hasn't had any seizures since she has started medication.

Esper came into our care in September 2024. She was one of the large intake of dogs we rescued from the government shelter after Turkey's 'Massacre Law' came into effect.
Esper had been abandoned in the govern
ment shelter by her previous owner, with her collar still on.. She was probably kept as a hunting dog, but her owners decided they didn't want her anymore, maybe because she wasn't good enough at hunting.. Whoever her previous owner was, they clearly didn't care about her at all, because she was severely underweight.

Esper is a very sensitive dog, and she is still struggling to feel safe after experiencing abandonment. She was extremely stressed when we got her from the government shelter, and she is still quite nervous, but she is so, so loving.

You won't find a more loving dog than Esper! She absolutely adores people and she lives for human interaction. When we are in her kennel, she clings to us and does her best to not let go. She is very friendly towards new people and wants lots of cuddles from everyone she meets. She is also very loving towards children. Esper would love to have an adopter who is able to spend a lot of time with her and give her all the cuddles she so badly craves.

Esper is a social dog who gets along well with other dogs. Although the enclosure is too busy and crowded for her, she does like to play with her kennel mates and can often be found running up and down the kennel chasing after one of her friends. She is friendly towards new dogs and likes meeting other dogs when out for walks, but is much more focused on people.

Esper likes being out and about and enjoys going for walks. She walks well on the lead, although she does pull out of excitement, and loves going out to explore. She is an active dog who would enjoy being able to go on long walks with her adopter.

As a sensitive dog, life in a shelter environment is very stressful for Esper. The stress she is experiencing leads to lots of nervous energy and Esper can be clingy and a bit hyper. She seeks constant reassurance from people to help her feel safe. She is very overstimulated at the moment and will need lots of time to decompress, de-stress, and feel calm and safe again once she is in her new home. We are looking for patient adopters who can show her the love and understanding she needs to help her be the happy self she deserves to be!

 

Esper is currently in Turkey and is ready to travel to the EU/the UK

The dogs arrive in their homes microchipped, up to date on their Rabies and Mixed vaccinations, spayed/neutered, dewormed and deflead and tested for Heartworm, Ehrlichia, Leishmania and Anaplasma. The dogs visit the vets for a final health check before they travel. If needed, their teeth are cleaned and X-Rays are taken of any potential areas of concern. Any concerns or potential health issues we are aware of will be communicated with you beforehand.
