Oğlum
Oğlum came to us after the 2023 earthquake, from a shelter in Antakya.
He had already lived through more than most dogs should.
He’d been hit by a car and left untreated. Both hind legs were damaged, and no vet was willing to operate.
So we didn’t fix him — we supported him. Slowly, over time, he got back on his feet, literally.
Today, he walks, runs, swims — and lives a completely normal life.
Still, his joints need long-term support.
He’s an older dog now. Calm, stable, and very easy to live with.
With people, he’s incredibly gentle.
With dogs, cats, and children — no issues at all.
He doesn’t look for conflict, doesn’t create tension, and generally just minds his own business.
Walking him on a leash can get frustrating at times; he does pull. Nothing extreme — just needs patience and consistency.
Energy-wise, he’s low to moderate.
He enjoys walks, but doesn’t demand constant activity or mental stimulation.
He can stay home alone without problems.
He adapts easily.
He is definitely one of the easiest residents here in the Farmhouse.
A house with a garden would suit him best,
but he can adapt to indoor living as well.
He’s been through a lot — shelter life, illness, injury, even TVT cancer — but his joy, confidence, and softness are still completely intact.
There’s a lot of dog in him.
And a lot of heart.
✿ He is fully vaccinated but not neutered. Due to his leg and joint condition, our vet advised against neutering in order to avoid unnecessary weight gain and additional pressure on his hind legs.
