Description
Meet Donna, a large, sweet “princess” born around July 2022. She came to our care as a puppy together with her brother Diego, rescued from the Grivei public shelter in Oradea. Although she didn’t find a home as a puppy, we believe her moment has come now as an adult.
Donna has a calm and gentle nature, gets along well with other dogs, although she prefers to keep an eye on her food. She’s a loyal and affectionate companion who truly values care and kindness.
Currently, Donna is living in our shelter and can be visited by appointment. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed – fully ready to find a place where she can finally feel truly at home.
