Etna has had a difficult life, having lived in outdoor kennels without proper care, leading to significant health issues including large milk gland tumors. After being rescued by the organization 'SOS Gyvūnai', she underwent multiple operations to remove these tumors and is now settling into a more comfortable indoor environment where she enjoys warmth and companionship. Despite her past, she exhibits a loving demeanor towards humans and is eager for attention, showing no aggression but is not fond of other dogs.

At over 9 years old and weighing about 27 kg, Etna is vaccinated, marked, and sterilized. However, she has not been accustomed to walks and pulls on the leash, indicating that she needs dedicated owners who can invest time in her training and socialization. Being strong-willed and affectionate, this gentle dog thrives in an environment where she can receive the love and structure she has long been deprived of. Interested candidates are encouraged to fill out a detailed application with 'SOS Gyvūnai' to potentially adopt her.

This story sheds light on the often-overlooked plight of rescued animals in need of not just physical care but also emotional connections. Etna's journey illustrates the resilience of shelter animals and the critical role that proper adoption processes play in ensuring these dogs find caring homes where they can flourish. By sharing her story, the organization hopes to raise awareness about the importance of adopting older pets and the joy they can bring into a household.
