Bernard

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

In March 2026, we found two little diamonds in the trash, the place where people throw away what they no longer want. To us, their value was beyond measure, so we brought them to our shelter. We treated them, cared for them, fed them, and little by little they began to shine. They were about three months old when they arrived, a boy and a girl. We named the boy Bernard and the girl Bianca. Even in those first days, when they were still sick and weak, they started showing glimpses of their personalities. As soon as they regained a bit of strength, both of them finally began to reveal their true puppy nature: their innocence, their curiosity, and their love of play and exploration. They are friendly dogs and have never been afraid of people. From the very beginning, Bernard seemed gentle, good natured, and never hesitated to voice his objections with a little grumble. At the same time, he has always known exactly how to ask for affection. Every Sunday, when our volunteers come and see him, they ask us which dog he is. Not because they do not remember him, but because he changes so much as he grows that they get confused. The frail, sickly, grumpy little puppy has transformed into a striking young dog with a soft, cotton like coat who steals everyone's heart. Recently, Bernard also started training, and he is proving to be an excellent student, eager to learn and, perhaps even more importantly, highly motivated by treats. Jokes aside, it brings us enormous joy to see puppies that arrive at the shelter grow into such wonderful dogs. Bernard is a young, balanced, and beautiful dog, and we are certain that his future life with a family will be every bit as sweet and lovable as he is.

About Bernard

What life with Bernard looks like

Bernard is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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 Bernard, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bernard?
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 Bernard on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bernard 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 Bernard 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 Bernard 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 Bernard 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.
