Artie (adopted)
Update:
His family writes: Artie has now been with us for a week and we thought and knew you all Souda Shelter people and friends would like to see how the old Sir is doing.
Artie is smart, curious, quick learner and funny, as you already know. First couple of days Artie mostly slept and barely ate at all. He wanted to be very close when we were home and was quite wild and a bit challenging to handle on walks.
But he is an amazing oldie. He has gotten used to cars, no barking to them anymore, also other dogs or strange people quite rarely seem to disturb him during walks anymore as much as before even though he is sometimes very interested in them, he has learned to walk in leash unbelievably well, he is not scared of stairs, those slippery weird things he has to climb to get home anymore, but he is still trying to figure out who an earth is looking back from mirror…
Artie. Why have you dragged the pillow from your bed almost to sofa?
-I needed a shield.
-Oh, okay.
Artie still wants to be close and get a lot lot lot of hugs of course, but he has started to eat well and be awake more. He is enjoying his life. Walking and sniffing around in forest is the best. And we adore him. “Artie has made our family complete” said my older daughter. Thank you for my sister for taking us to Souda Shelter and meeting Artie in the first place.

BIO:
Artie Chomski
Managing Director of the Souda Shelter Project
Age: Seven
Accomplishments: Artie has come a long way. He was brought, half dead to the shelter with the later stages of Leishmania (You can find more information here. Please, give our leishmania dogs a chance!) eating away at him. He was no more than twelve kilo, just bone.
He has not only put on weight, his character is such that he is now running the shelter, telling both animals and staff what to do.
Mastermind at manipulation Artie can conquer any heart or home.
You want this gem on your team!

Artie needs an experienced handler and needs a bit of education.
