Alba came to Germany in 2018 at the age of 5. In fact, she was initially only intended as a foster home, so we wanted to find a suitable and loving permanent home for her.

Unfortunately, we discovered that Alba is a severely traumatized dog and it took some time for her to build up trust in me and my family. She must have experienced terrible things, as evidenced by the fact that half of her ear is missing. But unfortunately, no one knows exactly what happened to her. Then it would have been easier for us to deal with her and her past.

But since she finally embraced us in her big heart and gave us her trust, we decided to keep her with us. We simply couldn't and didn't want to put her through the stress of passing her on and asking her to go through the same process again.

Admittedly, we have already had to go through a lot with our Alba. Not only is she still a scaredy dog ​​- especially in the city - and afraid of almost everything. She has already been seriously ill several times with IHK and Mediterranean diseases. We were already supposed to let her go twice. But I couldn't bring myself to send my fighter, my white lioness, over the rainbow bridge. So I looked for alternatives to conventional medicine and finally treated her myself. Where there's a will, there's a way. And we both wanted it. Alba wanted to live. And I didn't want to lose her.

Anyone who has once gained Alba's trust is anchored deep in her heart forever. We notice this every day. She is such an integral part of our family and I can guarantee that she would never harm the children. On the contrary: when we go for walks, she always keeps an eye on my older daughter. If she notices that she is walking behind us, Alba goes to her and stays with her. She keeps our family together. Just like a mother animal should. She is the most loyal soul and we are so happy that we decided to keep her with us.

All her fear seems to be forgotten when we are with Alba in the country or in nature. She blossoms, plays, enjoys her life. A side of her that only people she trusts see. It is incredibly fun to watch her throw sticks through the air and her past no longer plays a role for a while.

One of Alba's clear passions is food! That's why she's in particularly good hands at VEGDOG. No one could do her job as a taste tester better. Her loud smacking is a clear indication of the taste of our products. She especially likes our JERKEYS . Her smacking is particularly loud there.

No matter how much trouble we've had with Alba, I would choose to take her into our family again at any time. She is a unique dog that I can rely on 1,000%.
