Date of birth: 2012

Gender: female
Size: large

My life story: I was taken to the shelter by the Lagos Kennel many years ago (2012). We were a pack of seven dogs that hung out in the Boavista Golf area and we scared golfers because we were so many and kind of big. People said we were aggressive, but we were just looking for food. We were always very shy and were kept in a pack, always together, because we didn’t like the other dogs. As time went by my companions died and now there are three left, me, Maluka and Brownie.

My nature: they say I am the least shy of the sisters, and I agree. Even so, I don’t like to get too close to people I don’t know, only if they have treats. I only recently learned to walk on a leash because I had to spend some time at the veterinary clinic where I had surgery. There they said I behaved very well. I am calm and obedient and maybe one day I will find a family of my own. But I would like to live in a house that has an outside space because I am used to living outside. But you never know, maybe I’ll even get used to a house, who knows?
