Lara

Female, Mixed breed, small, born approx. 05.02.2026

Characteristics:

  • Charming and funny, with a face that melts even the most serious of hearts
  • Brave in her own way, though she still looks to her siblings for reassurance
  • Has the special gift of winning anyone over in seconds
  • Sweet, tiny and with a personality that never goes unnoticed

History and personality:

Not long ago, four tiny lives arrived at the sanctuary after being found inside a sealed cardboard box, abandoned in a public space. Alone. Without their mother. Without anyone watching over them. But these little ones have an incredible strength: they managed to chew through the box themselves, making a hole to get out, to be seen, to ask for help in their own way. And that is how they were found in time.

They are four puppies of approximately 11 weeks, small mixed breeds (terrier or miniature pinscher type): one boy and three girls. They arrived covered in fleas and with irritated skin, clear signs of neglect. But that is all in the past now. After arriving at the shelter and resting for a full day, their true personalities began to shine. They are brave, sweet and full of life, taking their first steps toward a better future.

Lara is the whitest of the group and also the tiniest. She still looks to her sisters and brother for support, but that takes nothing away from her bravery. She has a face that melts even the most serious of hearts, and such funny little gestures that it is impossible not to smile with her. Lara has that special gift of winning anyone over in seconds… and of becoming, effortlessly, the little queen of every moment.

What she needs:

We are looking for a responsible, committed and loving family for her. People who understand that a puppy is a whole lifetime of companionship, guidance and care. Who will show her the world with patience, respect and tenderness. Because Lara didn’t just survive… she fought to be seen. And now she deserves to be chosen, forever.

Veterinary information:

Will shortly be fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and with an EU passport.
