This dog, named Beauty, was found abandoned as a puppy in Mani, Greece. After being found, she was taken in by a local charity and sadly spent the first nine years of her life in a shelter.

Beauty, along with 150 other dogs in that shelter, waited every day for a family to adopt them. Every time someone passed by her cage, she wagged her tail in anticipation and hope. But that day never came for Beauty.

To make matters worse, Beauty got sick with leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease, last summer. They couldn’t let her live in the shelter while she was sick, so she was taken to Athens to live in a foster home, where she would finally receive proper care.

The best part is that Beauty will never have to live in a shelter again. She will remain in her foster home, but is still waiting for a forever home.

In the meantime, she will continue to receive treatment. She is doing well and feeling much better! Her adoptive mother, Zaira, has a heart of gold and always takes in the sickest dogs and tries to nurse them back to health. Unfortunately, many of them have died, but Beauty has proven to be a true fighter. Even though she was very weak and it seemed like she wouldn’t make it, she defied all odds and managed to do it!

She has had her second chance at life, but is now looking for a permanent home with a family that will love her unconditionally. She is a very friendly and sweet puppy and definitely deserves a happy ending after everything she has been through.
