❄ What makes Trouble special? Her black eye patches!
Trouble came into our care as a young pup of about 6 months old in the autumn of 2024.
She had been found all by herself in the middle of nowhere as a tiny baby of only 2 months old. She was too small and weak to be able to survive as a stray, and she had developed mange. Mange is torture for street dogs as it creates an uncontrollable itch and lots of discomfort, and the dogs have no way to save themselves or find relief, the only way mange can be treated is with medication. Luckily, little trouble was spotted by animal lovers who took her in. They looked after her until she had completed her vaccinations and was ready to move in to the Melez enclosure.
We normally do not take on puppies, but Trouble was going to have to go back to the streets she had been saved from, so we couldn't turn her down..
Trouble grew up in the Melez enclosure and grew into a cheerful, playful girl with a sweet nature.
True to her name, Trouble is full of beans and regularly gets up to some good-natured mischief! There is never a dull moment with Trouble around! She provides endless entertainment in the enclosure with her antics. Cleaning the kennels is a tough job when Trouble is around, as she tried to chase the broom when we're sweeping, and tries to steal the water hose when we're filling the water buckets!
Trouble is super playful and spends almost all her time running around the enclosure chasing her friends. She loves playing with other dogs and with toys, but her favourite thing in the world is water! She loves splashing about in the paddling pools and chasing the water from the water hose.
In the enclosure, Trouble is a happy, confident dog who fits in perfectly in the pack. She gets along with all the other dogs and has a few best friends with whom she loves to run and play. She loves people and gets very excited when we have visitors. She is one of the first to run up to visitors and happily jump on them to say hello! Trouble is very affectionate and loving and she loves to cuddle. She enjoys getting attention from both men and women, and both people she knows and strangers.
As Trouble has grown up in the Melez enclosure, she hasn't seen much of the outside world. Because of this, the world outside the enclosure can sometimes be scary for her. Trouble walks well on the lead, and enjoys going out for walks, but she is easily startled by loud noises and can be nervous in busy areas. She can be a little intimidated when she meets other dogs outside of the enclosure. When she feels anxious, Trouble looks to people for reassurance and guidance, and tries to stay close to you to feel safe.
Trouble has so much love to give, and would be so happy to have a safe home! With her cheerful character and mischievous antics, she is sure to bring lots of joy and laughter to her new home.
Could Trouble be the perfect addition to your family?
Trouble is currently in Turkey and is ready to travel to the EU / UK.
Our dogs arrive microchipped, up to date on rabies and combination vaccines, spayed/neutered, dewormed and flea-treated, and tested for heartworm, Ehrlichia, Leishmania, and Anaplasma. Before traveling, they see a vet for a final health check. If needed, their teeth are cleaned and X-rays are taken of any potential problem areas. Any concerns or potential health issues we’re aware of will be communicated with you beforehand.
