A young woman saw several young puppies running around the ruins of a house. She looked and found their shelter there. It seemed that this was their "home" and they had probably been born there. But their mother was nowhere to be seen. The puppies were about 8 weeks old and well fed, and the next day the young woman went to visit the extended family again and brought delicious wet food. The puppies greedily pounced on the food. They were so hungry. It seemed as if their mum had not been here overnight. The young woman was worried and hoped that the female would turn up again.

The next day she went to visit the puppies again. But this time she found a run-over dog lying by the side of the road on the country roads not so far from the ruined house. It was a female with a large mammary gland. Presumably the mother of the 9 puppies. It was now clear that the puppies could not stay at their shelter near the ruined house. Fortunately, the young woman knew Anca. She called her and told her the story of the 9 puppies. The two women arranged to meet the same day to look at the puppies together and secure them.

9 puppies - 5 girls and 4 boys - all safe and sound, moved from the ruined house to Anca's "Safe Place". In the first few days, all 9 pups were confused and looking for their mum. Anca did her best to help them get over their loss. After a short time, the sad little fur babies became lively, playful and cuddly puppies.

George is one of the puppies who lost his mum in a car accident. But thanks to his 8 siblings, the puppy is not alone. They play together, romp around, cuddle up to each other, argue and make up again. The 9 puppies have developed into a lively gang where there is almost always something going on. George is generally the biggest of the puppy boys and not a daredevil. He likes to let his braver siblings go first and see what's going on. If everything is OK, George comes over and wants to join in.

George is the same with us humans. The puppy boy is reserved and a little shy for the first few minutes. It takes him a little while to realise that we don't mean him any harm. So it is very pleasant that George can be bribed. Dog liver sausage or other delicacies are very popular. George has no problem being picked up, stroked and cuddled.

We are looking for people with patience, empathy, understanding, time and lots of love for the shy George to show him in our world how wonderful a dog's life can be. Delicious food, a soft basket, interesting things to explore and caressing hands will be a dream come true for George. George's new home should not be in a city centre, but rather in a rural area where a friendly, confident first dog might be waiting for him and take George by the paw. A visit to a dog school would be desirable.
