Myrtle

Myrtle is part of a very special little family named after Harry Potter characters. She was found together with her mother Hermione and her four siblings after they had been very recently neutered and ear-tagged, when the puppies were only around 5–6 months old.

They were living in a suburban area that was unfortunately not dog-friendly. Because of their incredibly sweet and social nature, they would happily approach people for affection — something that sadly put them at even greater risk. Under the local massacre law, dogs like them stood no real chance of survival, and they could have been removed at any moment.

Thankfully, they were taken to safety and placed in a dog hotel, where they received all their vaccinations and proper care while waiting for their turn to fly to the Netherlands and begin their search for loving forever homes.

Myrtle is an absolute sweetheart with an easy-going, gentle personality. She is very food-motivated, adores human attention, and enjoys being close to people. She has no known diseases, no special dietary needs, and no medical conditions — just a healthy young dog ready for a fresh start.

She has never lived in a home before, so while we don’t know everything about her yet, she should be seen as a “grown-up puppy” who is curious, adaptable, and eager to explore the world with her future family. She is already potty trained, though like any dog adjusting to a new environment, a few accidents should be expected while she learns new routines.

Myrtle lived in the dog hotel alongside many other dogs, though she mostly interacted with her own siblings. On leash walks, she remained calm around stray dogs and dogs barking from behind fences. She has also encountered many stray cats and, unlike some of her siblings, showed very little interest in them.

We haven’t had the opportunity to observe her with small children yet, but given how much she loves people, we expect her to be affectionate and gentle with them as well.

Although Myrtle is still learning how to properly walk on a leash, she is very responsive to leash tension, doesn’t pull, and is eager to focus on her handler — a wonderful foundation for future training.

She gets along beautifully with her brother Dobby, and they can be fostered or adopted together or separately. Like the rest of her family, Myrtle loves playing with water — though she politely waits her turn, especially since her sister Hedwig is absolutely obsessed with it!

If you can open your home — and your heart — to Myrtle, even temporarily, you’ll be giving her the chance to finally experience the safe, loving life she has always deserved. 🐾✨

She is ready to fly as soon as she finds a foster home and a flight volunteer!
