My life story: at only three months old, my brother Rocky and I were put on a chain by our owner on a piece of land in Barão de São Miguel. He didn’t take care of us and was often drunk. One day, someone noticed us and a group of people started coming to the property to free us from the chain and take us for a walk. This group managed to convince our owner to hand us over to the shelter, where we arrived in February 2024.

My nature: I am a beautiful, very friendly, smart and curious dog. I love to run and explore and learn new things. Sometimes I’m shy with new people (especially men) and new situations. I’m very attached to my brother with whom I shared a sad past, living on a chain for the first two years of our lives. I will be a great companion once you earned my trust, I’m grateful for every positive interaction and the love I receive. Sometimes the world can be overwhelming for me, because I missed so many experiences living a life on a chain. But during my time in the shelter, I managed to come out of my shell and lost a lot of my fear and insecurity.
