We are sharing a little letter sent by Svenja Kauke – the adopter of Bojura, or currently Lupa that will make you smile =)
On a sunny Sunday in May 2011, we wanted to go for a walk in the woods. On the way we decided to drive past the shelter to walk with a dog. There, in a kennel was Lupa, back then her name was Bojura, she was 5 months old. Bojura looked very sad. We took her for a walk and held her close to the heart. At the shelter we asked how we could adopt her and from then on, a new life began for Lupa.
We live in Münster, a medium-sized city in Germany. In our house there are several apartments . Our apartment is on the ground floor and we have a beautiful large garden which can be accessed directly from the apartment. In our house also lives Mila, a female Rhodesian Ridgeback – the same age as Lupa. From the first encounter – Lupa and Mila became best of friends. They play every day in the garden and are also happy in the apartment. Preferably in the beds.
In the first months Lupa was a very insecure dog. She even defended the water in in the garden pots and chased our cats. Then we contacted an animal psychologist who can communicate with animals. She was at our house three times and we had great success. Lupa became always confident and balanced.
My youngest son (Ben) studies Latin at school and said one day that Bojura looked like a wolf – lupus in Latin. My life partner (Olaf) said, “or Lupa , the she-wolf .” Then Lupa raised her head and pointed ears in our direction. Olaf said „Lupa“ again, as she jumped up and sat in front of us. Since then she called Lupa and behaved very well to the name she chose herself.
Lupa loves to run on the bike. Every day we go long rounds through forest and field. In the immediate vicinity, there is a large park, where dogs are allowed to run without a leash. In the park Lupa plays every day with many dogs and digging deep holes, or cooling off in the lake. When Lupa came to us, she knew no commands, but she is very smart and has learned quickly. Now she rarely needs a leash and listens very well.
After two and a half years, we can no longer imagine life without Lupa. She is a happy, funny, fun-loving dog. With the cats she’s sleeping together on the bed. Every day she shows us that she loves us just as we love her.
Thank you Animal Rescue Sofia for making this possible!
Kind regards,
Lupa and her family and friends
