My life story: I have spent my whole life in the same house in Portimão. But now my owner, an elderly woman, could no longer afford to look after me and the other dogs that lived in the same house. We were neglected and she never took us for walks. She wanted to give all the dogs away, so I came to the shelter in October 2023.

My character: I am a very shy dog as I have never known any other home or life than the one described above. My owner was not particularly interested in me and I was never well socialized. I am not aggressive at all, but I tend to react to people and other dogs by barking. When they approach me, I run away out of fear. I was never used to wearing a collar or being handled, but the volunteers have taught me and now they can even take me for walks outside the shelter. I have overcome some of my fears and can even smell the bushes when they take me for a walk. I would love to be adopted by a loving and patient family who can teach me everything I still need to learn.
