Bio

Natia is a gentle tripawd who spends most of the day relaxing and watching the world go by. She enjoys the company of dogs and has spent most of her life around cats.
She is very affectionate with her human friends at SARA. Her activity level is low. Natia is able to walk on a leash, but prefers to move at her own pace, so her forever home should have a yard or garden.
She can be a bit of an alarm barker, but the shelter is a noisy and busy place, and the constant stimuli can be a lot to take in. A calm environment would suit her much better.
Natia has plenty of love to give and hopes to find a gentle adopter who accepts her regardless of her ailments and helps keep her in good health.

Background

Natia, born in 2021, is a road accident survivor from Marrakech. Found in critical condition, her left hind leg needed amputation. After surgeries and recovery, she joined our refuge. Initially scared, she eventually gained confidence and is now a confident dog. Natia really had bad luck in life as she also caught leishmaniasis during her time as a stray dog. Leishmaniasis cannot be cured but with daily medication and regular checkups affected dogs can live long and happy lives. However, it is impossible to predict her lifespan as the disease itself and the medication affect organ function to varying extent. Natia's adopter needs to be committed to her treatment and aware of her fragile health.
