My name is Stella and I am a true star! It’s been 5 months since I have begun to shine in this world. Every morning I wake up and look for interesting things to do, play hide-and-seek, or chase the tails of my bigger dog-sisters. When I get tired, or the others get tired of me, I lie down for a nice long clean by the window. Then it’s time for my beauty nap. But! Do not be fooled by my quiet snore, I am not really sleeping, I am just waiting for something interesting to happen, my fun-radar is always on for new adventures!

So, most of my day is spent in games, rearranging the decoration, dust-sweeping from the cupboards, warm cuddles with Vasya and Roza the doggies, but most of all – waiting for mom to come home and play mouse-chace with me! Mom’s mice may be slick and clever, but I am always faster than them. I never get tired of chasing them – over, and over and over again! If mom gets tired I will continue my game with the doggies. After all that is what God made them for, isn’t it? So, if any of you wants to have me as a friend at home – this is me. A fun, energetic, playful and lively kitten. I only have one small fault – as you can see, I am too pretty…

This young man was abandoned at the shelter by his owners, but he took to it better than most dogs do. He is used to not being treated well.

Although he was a pet, he hasn’t seen much happiness in his life. When you reach to sroke him he shutters and closes his eyes, expecting to bi hit.

Young, healthy, good-looking… is there anyone there who’d like to give him a new start in life?

Kids, this is actually a very common story. It happens regularly in Sofia but still lots of people fail to admit that that is how many homeless dogs are born.

Blondy is a stray female. Not exactly homeless because she occupies an abandoned construction site with her pack. Somehow she was never spayed, so she came into heat and met the father of her babies.

He was a husky with owners. One of the many who refuse to neuter or put a leash on their dog.

And so there they were – seven new homeless babies. Two fell and were separated from the mother for too long so they passed away. And now we present you:

Puppa is wonderful lady who hurt her belly (her puppa as children call it) when she was a small baby. She is mostly white with sharp wolf-like ears.

Ares looks the most like his father. He is social and has a lot ot energy. Loves to play.

Shishko was fluffy as a baby with akita-like cheeks. However he grew up a more refined young boy.

Daisy is a bit shy. She has some yellow on her back and some freckles on the muzzle. A real lady.

Bimba is the most social of them all. She just loves people and runs to meet those she knows. Then she puts her butt on the ground and makes you rub her belly.

Kids, these five are all vaccinated and dewormed. They are social, playful and they love both people and other dogs. They let you hold them and run after people. Do you see your dog among them?

Here he is. The great survivor – an old guy who was dumped on the street with his mighty 3 kilograms – to make it on his own.

Deddy is a pincher/chihuahua mix who has seen much in his long life. One of his back legs is totally useless and simply hangs there as a garnish to his amaciated body and witty eyes. He also has some breathing issues, but most of all, he has a will to live and the most wonderful temperament.

Unlike many small dogs Deddy is a guy with a sense of humor and a wonderful attitude. His priorities in life are:

• Keep warm;
• Eat well;
• Receive maximum love.

What a wonderful list! We should all learn from it, because it reveals the simple art of living.

True that Deddy sometimes uses his diper, but it is always with great care and dignity. When he is not eating, hugging or begging for more food Deddy likes to spend his time cuddling the hot-water bottle and dozzing off.

Don’t think he is some sort of dying old dog! No sir! Deddy was very curious about the 3 cats and 2 dogs at his foster home and even made some sort of playful enthusiastic jumps (if you can imagine jumping on 3 legs) around his 30-kilogram roommates, who were least to say shocked and retreated.

So, what will it be for Deddy? Is he really an unwanted piece of garbage or is there someone in this world who has some love for this old guy. True that he looks kind of shaggy, but his heart is as big as his appetite and ladies and gentlemen, that means HUGE:

Dear friends, meet Wendy. I gave her that name because she kind of reminds me of Peter Pan’s female character – Wendy – who without hesitation took care for the Lost boys, gave them her infinite love, and showed them her commitment and concern about their fate.

Our Wendy has a similar fate as the literature character. We took her from Seslavci last summer with one of her babies. In Seslavci she was put in a small little cage with twelve babies – half of them her own, the other half – not.  This wonderful, caring dog gave her best to feed all of the babies, trying to save them from the hunger and misery in the cage. But alas – Wendy’s mother love and commitment weren’t enough. Until the time we could take her in Bogrov all of the babies but one have slept their last sleep.

Today Wendy is 4-years old, very calm and nice. She loves to cuddle and is always looking for a human touch. At the same time she’s very careful and friendly with people. She will be the perfect pet for people who want gentle and calm dog.

Neutered and vaccinated, this modern heroine is waiting for the people who will rewrite her story and will give her the happy ending she deserves.
