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.

Kate is one of the puppies who lost her mum in a car accident. But thanks to her 8 siblings, the puppy girl 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. Kate is one of the biggest of the puppy girls and not a daredevil. She likes to let her braver siblings go first and see what's going on. If everything is in order, Kate comes over and wants to join in.

Kate is the same with us humans. The puppy girl is reserved and a little shy for the first few minutes. It takes her a little while to realise that we don't mean her any harm. So it is very pleasant that Kate can be bribed. Dog liver sausage or other delicacies are very popular. Kate has no problem being picked up, stroked and cuddled. Kate has a little peculiarity - she has a stumpy tail (since birth). However, she can show her joy and excitement with it just like any other dog with a normal-length tail.

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

Kate will be completely vaccinated, dewormed and chipped by the time she embarks on her journey.
