AZABACHE (Black Amber)


Azabache was a stray dog that found “shelter” in front of a public school. She had been living there for a few weeks and the school guardian would give her scraps once in a while so she stayed there. My friend Nancy offered to help her, taking her to the vet to be fixed and vaccinated, hoping that perhaps they would allow her to stay inside, in the guardian hut (that is common in Venezuela).

When she came back with Azabache already fixed and vaccinated, the guardian did not want her back because she had been fixed and he wanted puppies for his kids (unfortunately, puppies are very disposable and they die at very early age because of the lack of care). She tried to explain to him that now the dog was going to be healthier and stronger but he definitely did not want her back.

Without any place to shelter the dog, my friend had to take her to her small townhouse where she already has 2 dogs and 6 cats. Due to the lack of space she had to put her in a very tiny patio.

Azabache is very sweet and gets along well with other dogs and cats. She needs a loving family that has patience to help her to have more confidence. She is seems to be fine around children although she hasn't spent a lot of time around kids. She about 2 years old, is in very good shape and has reached her full weight of 30 pounds.
