Slvinik, a labrador cross who is around six years old, was rescued as a stray in North Macedonia. But she became "despondent and withdrawn" after spending years stuck in a shelter in the country.Marija Stojanovski, who works at the shelter, asked non-profit organisation Viktor's PawPrints, which rehomes unwanted dogs from North Macedonia to the UK, to step in to try to find adopters for Slvinik and her best friend Angel, a five-year-old retriever cross who was also rescued as a stray. A spokesperson for Viktor’s PawPrints said: "This pair of sweet bonded girls have been in this shelter for most of their lives.Breathe easy. In addition to sweating through their paw pads, dogs pant to cool themselves off. A panting dog can take 300-400 breaths (compared to his regular 30-40) with very little effort.
"Sweet and gentle and desperate to get out.
"All they have ever known is this pen.
Instead of buying special Kong stuffing, stuff a Kong with cheese cubes and place in the microwave for five seconds.
"Marija reported that she was no longer listening to her or even interacting with her.
"She told us she feared time was running out for her, she was giving up."
