Pirata spent most of her seven years of life kept on a chain, until her owner died and she was rescued.

Generally speaking, dogs that are chained don’t get trained – so it’s hardly surprising that Pirata understood very little about listening to and following instructions when she first came to ADP.

we’ve seen a wonderful breakthrough. Pirata has learnt to sit on command and is extremely proud of her newly aquired skill!

There are, of course, many other reasons to love Pirata. She is a cheerful and affectionate dog, not shy at all, and gets on well with humans and other dogs. After years of neglect, she loves life in the shelter, where she gets the two things she has lacked for most of her life: freedom to explore and good company. But we think it’s time that Pirata graduated to the next stage – a home of her own.

Pirata is sterilised and is fully up-to-date on vaccines and parasite treatments.
