One sunny day a giant dog dragging the biggest chain we'd ever seen was spotted in front of the football pitch, The size didn't scare us as she was in good spirits, it seemed she was happy to be free.
She was taken to the vet immediately and the estimations were that she was a 2 years old who lived on a chain probably her entire life as the chain left deep markings on her neck.
Without thinking we took her in. She became our BIG MARA. One amazing girl with an outstanding personality.
Can we find someone for our MARA?
She is in a foster home now, enjoying in things that have been offered to her. But living in an enclosure isn't a life we want for her as she deserves much more.

How do you adopt Mara ?
Adoption requires a pre-adoption questionnaire, home check and an adoption contract.
You will need to pay for Mara's transportation, and pay for the paperwork to get her to you.
The costs are typically €550 in total depending on where you are located.
We used to be able to charge a little less but unfortunately, due to brexit, the costs of passports, documentation and travel have been increased by our suppliers.
