GREAT NEWS! MONCHI has found her fur-ever home. Ania Czechowska of Palatone, Illinois met Monchi this afternoon and fell in love.
Monchi will now have a new home with a big brother – Setter mix Clifford and 3 kitty cats.
Monchi’s story from her rescuer:
Adorable 4 months old pups, Ponchi and Monchi. They were found in Southeast of the forests of Istanbul. They were dropped in the forest without their moms and they had to fight for their lives among hundreds of other dogs. Monchi is a little female rescue. They were found by a volunteer named Sule who goes to the forest to feed the dogs. Sule is among many other young devoted volunteers who go to the forest every weekend to feed and care for the animals that are left alone. She found the puppies the following weekend of her visit.
Many forests of Istanbul are filled with unwanted dogs. The city municipals and villages, or brutal breeders drop them when they think the dogs are not sellable. However, Monchi and Ponchi are mutts. Many people and neighborhoods of Istanbul do not want mutts; they consider them dirty; this is coming from the view of Islamic societies that reflect having dogs in their homes is a forbidden action. However, some think buying a pup from a store is a superior way to own a pet. There is no way that we can find Monchi and Ponchi homes in Turkey, there are so many pups that need homes and people still prefer buying from pet shops.
Our aim is to create awareness in Turkey; these dogs are exceptionally obedient and smart, they have Anatolian Shepherd in them, which make them very special dogs.
Monchi is 4 months old, all shots complete, not yet spayed as she is so young. Monchi loves to play and is a very smart pup. They are good on a leash and great with cats and other dogs. Monchi is learning the joys of being a pet dog and will continue to blossom in a loving home.
