yasmin
Sex: Female
Age: 3
Neutered: Yes
Size: 45Kg.
In the shelter since: January 2014
Microchip Number: 968 000 010 095 398
Yasmin has been with Stavroula since she was a young puppy and was saved from being handed over to the local Shepherds. She is a very large dog and she doesn't always realise her own strength so when she plays she can be hard especially when she's trying to play bite or chew. She would never hurt anyone but she does like to get your attention so can come across as forceful, mainly due to her size.
We like to think that special family is out there for Yasmin, it will need someone who is experienced with large dogs and able to manage her personality but in return you will be loved unconditionally. If you feel you can give our big gorgeous girl her forever home please do get in touch.

You are interested in this dog? You would like some more information?
Be aware of the fact that the information is based on where our dogs are staying right now, which is the shelter. It could be in a kennel, it could be on a terrain. Usually we do not know very much of the dogs.
FAQ is 'can this dog be with children?' And 'how is this dog with cats?' Or 'can the dog go for a ride in the car?', these are all questions which are being answered from this situation and this is not easy to answer.
Being nice with children in the shelter is a whole lot different than being together with children for 24 hours a day.
If a dog doesn't chase cats, it means they don't chase cats there. Being nice with the other dogs is also in this situation in the shelter. This basically means that there is a big possibility that a dog can learn to live with children, cats and other dogs. But people must be willing to teach the dog and train him/her.
Children can be best fiends with dogs but it doesn't go all naturally. Both dog and child will have to learn this. Small children and dogs don't understand each other: like a child pulls the dog's tail, hurts the dog and starts smiling, dog makes a play bow and scares the child and the child cries.
This means parents have a job and responsibility in this: teach the child to respect the dog, as living sentient being and not as a toy!
More important is to know if the dog is looking for contact with people, has a bonding with people. You must know that most of our dogs have been under a lot of stress. They spend most of the day with other dogs, and over all they will probably know better to communicate with dogs than with people.
For the happiness of these dogs there are some essentials which are rest, safety, being clear and a reference, like another dog or human.
Be aware the dog may not be potty trained.
A dog doesn't talk but he does communicate through his body. And if we humans are able to understand him, it will save a lot of frustration. A very good book to learn about dog body language is 'Calming signals' by Turid Rugaas.
A dog learns and learns through his entire life. It is up to us to teach him.
Be respectful to your dog and he will be respectful to you. Be patient and let him be dog. Realize that the dogs observes you and sees everything. Learn to understand your dog. And if your dog does something wrong to you, think for yourself and try to figure out which signals you were giving him. A dog is what you make of it.
Whenever you decide to adopt one of our dogs, we can't say in advance when the dog will be coming. Of course we try to make this happen as fast as possible, but there are different factors which we are depending on.
