Asproula

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Gender: female Birthday: August 2019 Castrated/ Neutered: yes Weight: 25,5 kg Back story: Asproula was born on the streets in Agious Apostolous. Her mom had given birth many times on the street to many litters because she was next to impossible to catch. Her mom was anti social and terrified of people. And so is Asproula. Description/Updates/Pictures: Update April 2026: Update March 2024: Although she plays with the other animals and interacts with them normally the sight of a human makes her quiver. She hides in her house when she is not outside playing. But this can change. We have seen it with even more difficult cases than Asproula. Asproula needs a chance, a quiet home, some ‘one on one’ with a human. Asproula is not quite a senior yet but the years are passing and it would be a shame for her to grow old in the shelter. It would be a shame because she is not comfortable here and she never was. If you have time on your hands and big love in your heart consider Asproula. Cases such as hers with good results are like watching a flower bloom. The feeling is beyond words. Update January 2021: She’s friendly, but she will need time to build trust. With other dogs she’s very good. Perfect would be if there’s already a dog in the household that could take the lead and help her find her courage. Update February 2021:

About Asproula

What life with Asproula looks like

Asproula is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Souda Shelter in Chania.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient owner for socialization - extremely fearful of humans due to street birth and feral mother

🇬🇷Adopting from Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Asproula, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Asproula?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Souda Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Asproula on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Asproula if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Souda Shelter 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 Asproula 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 Asproula 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 Souda Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Asproula 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.
