How do I contact the shelter about Alice?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Save a Greek Stray handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alice if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Save a Greek Stray will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Alice already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Alice isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Save a Greek Stray early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alice and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Alice

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Alice doesn’t hear us. Not because she’s stubborn or rude. She is deaf. Completely. Sometimes that’s a disadvantage, and sometimes it’s a quiet gift. In a shelter where barking and noise can suddenly take over, Alice relies only on what she can see. Without sound, she doesn’t know when tension is building or what’s happening elsewhere. She understands only what unfolds right in front of her, and that makes her a little vulnerable. On the other hand, it also gives her a certain calm. She isn’t affected by voices that don’t concern her, she doesn’t get stressed by noise, her energy doesn’t spike because something happened somewhere else, and she doesn’t panic easily. Alice is full of joy. She’s sweet and affectionate, and when she’s happy, it’s immediately obvious. Her face lights up, her eyes shine, and she looks at you in a way that makes you think you’d happily do her every favor. She’s gentle by nature, enjoys walks, enjoys being around people, and likes to be involved. Her favorite moment is when we take her to the office. Even then, she doesn’t become overexcited. Instead, she’s a little awkward, and that’s exactly what makes her even more endearing. Alice has a natural kindness, along with a touch of insecurity. Being deaf plays a role in that, which is why visual contact is so important to her. It helps her to see you nearby, to follow your movements, to know that you’re there. When she has that reassurance, she relaxes and trusts. If she hesitates, gentle guidance helps her move past her fear. Her appearance is entirely unique. Her face feels almost like an abstract piece of art, while her big ears, purely decorative, make the whole picture even more charming. One of her eyes appears more “outlined” than the other, giving the impression that it’s smaller, though it isn’t. Alice seems to look at the world the way Alice in Wonderland does, as if everything she sees holds a bit of magic. And with her, that feeling is always visible. VIDEO

About Alice

What life with Alice looks like

Alice is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Completely deaf - requires visual communication and patient owner experienced with special needs dogs

🇬🇷Adopting from Greece
