Irma

Update 20.3.2026:

so we packed her bags and set off for a very distant part of Crete.

For Irma, we would do anything!

The housecheck did not pass the test so we had to bring her back with us.

We spent many hours together that day and learned a lot from her.

You see Irma was a breeding machine, used for nothing more than producing other Dobermans.

She is a nervous dog with many triggers which would send her into a frenzy, attempting to bite her tail. At the shelter we had gotten that habit under control.

That day out from the shelter she enjoyed the car ride, she loved the feel of a home, she was so interested in walking through the village and she showed a very gentle and connected side of herself.

Something we had not had the chance to experience at the shelter.

Unfortunately, the person interested was not a match for her. Her delicate issues were not a priority to them so we had to deny the adoption.

But it broke our hearts bringing her back home.

Irma is a kind senior girl who truly suffers at the shelter. She loved her getaway that day and we wish she will find a gentle human who will listen and cater to her needs.

She loves to play ball and loves her treats, of course.

If you feel you might be her person, please fill out an application.

Thanks!

Update 26.06.2024:

Irma is a pure breed Doberman, born in November 2016.

 

Her story:

She was found up in Malaxa this summer, running in 35 degree weather with heat exhaustion.

It seems that she was used for breeding babies and when they got a new female to replace her, she was thrown out.

She has been neutered since.

Irma has leishmania. Of course, she gets her medication. Here you can read about Leishmania. This desease is only transported via a sandfly.

Irma also has an anxiety issue where she chases her bum and growls but we are working on that with natural remedies.

She is not aggressive towards humans. She loves them and their attention!

SHE LOVES HER BALL.

She never had a chance to be a puppy, and so she is giving us puppy now, so cute!

She is a bit awkward when it comes to cuddles but she loves it! Poor thing never had cuddles before.

Adopt this beautiful creature today.

Irma will warm your heart at least once a day with her new discoveries and character.
