Bio
I'm Ria, a friendly fluff with a lot of love to give. Born into misery, I was lucky to be nursed by my mum for as long as needed and to grow into adulthood within the safe confines of the farm shelter. I get along great with my peers and enjoy playing. Most of the time you'll see me relaxing and observing what goes on around me. As for humans, I'm a bit shy around strangers but curious nonetheless, and it doesn't take me long to bond. Apparently, I'm half Samoyed. Underneath all my fur I'm rather small, measuring no more than 50cm at shoulder and weighing about 18kg.
Background
We rescued Ria from the dog pound in April 2023, along with her brother, Roman, and her mum, Rhapsody. In all likelihood, Rhapsody is a Samoyed (Russian spitz) abandoned by her previous owner. At the time of rescue, Rhapsody was frightened and very protective of her offspring. It took us a few weeks to get her to relax and trust us to handle her offspring. We initially kept the family in a separate space until the puppies were old enough to move on. While Roman was adopted little, Ria grew into adulthood at the refuge, among other pups her age. She now shares her enclosure with a dozen dogs. Ria is ready to travel, just waiting for a loving home to settle.
Our Happy Tales
We have helped over 150 dogs find their forever homes, bringing joy to both the dogs and their new families.
