Tina was found wandering the streets of an industrial suburb of Athens, Greece. She was starving, exhausted and was suffering from mange.
She found shelter in the offices of a company in the neighborhood, went in, and slept on the floor for hours.
Finally, one day, her body and spirit could go no further. She managed to get inside an office, and she laid down.

Once the office was closed she would have to be returned to the streets again, and this was not an option so I picked her up the same day.

She is being treated for mange and finally enjoys the little things in life: nice walks, a soft bet and a lot of love. I am fostering her and she is the easiest, most loving and quiet dog I ever met.
She stays beside me all the time, no matter where we are or what we do, and I sing to her often (she probably does not realize how awful my singing abilities are!).
People working in the neighborhood (who probably know her previous owner that abandoned her) told us that she is 12 years old.

She will be looking for a forever home soon, where she can spend the years she has left, as she deserves.
What made Valia sad was when she learned that Tina had once belonged to a family and that her name was Lara.

Well, obviously, the people who owned Tina before had no compassion or they would have never let her become a stray.
The best part about this story is that Tina is no longer alone! She will have love and companionship for the rest of her life.
