Background

Noir has been in the public shelter in Skopje, but when noone came forward to adopt her, she was released again after the spaying, chipping and vaccination – hence the eartag. A kind hearted woman takes care of her and lets her sleep in the entrance of her home. But Noir is a stray – she would be so happy having a home to call her own, and a family to give all her love. So, we are trying to help her make the transition from street life to sweet life. 

The woman who helped Noir recently found a litter of puppies together with her – dear, sweet Noir had taken the dumped puppies in as her own. She has been keeping them company ever since and the woman cares for them too. Sadly some of the puppies disappeared and surely are no longer alive. But Noir is very maternal and has certainly done her best to help them. She protected the four remaining puppies with her life at stake, when some loose dogs recently attacked them, and as you can see in the videos below, she ended up in the veterinary hospital, with a huge lap of skin skind ripped off her side. She could have been killed, but didn’t let the puppies down, and thanks to her, they were unharmed! Noir is now back with the woman who cares for her, and luckily she is recovering well.

Likes

No dog is sweeter and friendlier than Noir – she simply loves everyone and is great with children too. As long as she gets attention and snuggles, she is happy. She likes other dogs and loves to play with them. With her good nature, Noir will make a wonderful family pet. 

Dislikes and issues

Because of the attack she experienced, Noir will have to be carefully introduced to other dogs, to make sure she feels safe and retains her well developed social skills. 

Ideal home

The family for Noir should be ready to give her soft guidance and gently help her learn the rules of life in a home. She will need lead training and is an active dog who should be walked minimum two times every day.  She can live as an only dog, but she is very social and will enjoy having a friendly a doggy companion. She loves attention and will do great in a family with dog savvy children. There are lots of stray cats where Noir lives, so with proper introduction she can also live with cats. She is used to the free life as a stray and a fair sized secure garden is a must.

Noir is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated.
