Kyoshi aka Bell’s adoption listing photo

Kyoshi

Kyoshi’s story begins in a neighborhood in Ankara, where she was left behind by some people in streets with small local shops. After surviving on the streets for a short while, one of the shopkeepers in the neighborhood takes her in. Not long after, together with WOF Rescue, they arrange for her to move to a private shelter called Koyun Garipleri they collaborate with. There, she is given a new name ‘Bell’ inspired after Bell Hooks.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the story, Arzum and Barış are struggling with their sweet dog Earendil, who was rescued from the streets after a car crash that broke her two paws. While she is the sweetest dog ever, they suspect she was also abandoned to the streets and never fully overcame her separation anxiety for five years even though Arzum and Baris got help from many trainers specialising in this area. Whenever she was left home alone, in distress she would bark endlessly, leaving them unsure of what to do. During periods when they did dog sitting, however, they noticed something interesting: whenever another dog was in the house, Earendil was relaxed and didn’t bark at all.

That realization brought forward their plans to adopt a second dog. Through a friend, they got in touch with Cemre, a member of WOF Rescue.
