On May 18th we drove out of Nicosia to go and collect two puppies that had been rescued by a Forestry Department firefighter. The puppies were only around 8 weeks old and would not have survived much longer where they had been dumped. Rina and her sister Dee Dee settled into life at the Sanctuary well and loved meeting new people.

4 months later and Rina flew to one of our wonderful foster homes where she is settling in well. This is what her foster family has to say:

Rina is a beautiful loveable pup with so much love to give. She’s a bouncy girl and loves to play with her teddies (and any other soft items she may find…!). Rina has got on perfectly with her foster brother and they are often found snuggling together.

Rina is getting used to walking on a lead and is a little nervous of the outside world but her confidence has grown in the short time that we’ve fostered her so I’m sure this will continue to improve. She is a quick learner and has already learnt to sit.

Although we can’t be entirely sure, we think that Rina will be medium sized when fully grown. We don't know what breed mix she is, but she has gorgeous patches of brindle markings and is gorgeous!

Rina is a gorgeous and playful puppy who wants to find her forever family, so she can have a sofa and cuddles always.
