How do I contact the shelter about Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης))?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Voice handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Voice 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 Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) 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 Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) 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 Dogs Voice early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) 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 (EL). 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.

Adopt Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης))

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

BOWIE (ΦΩΤΗΣ) • 2 years old, 25 kg, neutered • Functional • Obedient, trainable • Human-centered Bowie (known as Fotis to his close friends) is a model of superiority, dignity, and admiration. A creature that experienced pain from a young age. He was found last year in a poor state, abandoned in a field, resulting in being taken to the vet where one of his back legs was amputated and the other has ankylosis. He recently had a total leg amputated and does not need to use a wheelchair. The little one has come a long way. He crawled at first, but eventually he stood (as he did) and started to walk. And that's because he hasn't realized what's happening to him. With the help of all of us, but above all with his own inner strength, he has managed not to understand that he is disabled. He did a three-month series of hydrotherapy treatments which strengthened him greatly! He also took intensive training courses and responded brilliantly! He is a joyful superhero full of will to live! It's no different than an able-bodied dog at the moment. His story became an inspiration for Rafaela Martines who wrote a fairy tale called "A step towards happiness", conveying many messages to children and adults. Give opportunities to animals with disabilities. They will give you more than what you give them! Lessons from everyday life, as we have obviously forgotten what they imply. He fostered in Athens and is looking for his forever family. If you are his person, if you have no other animals, if you have experience & a large outdoor space, send us a message. Will be given up for adoption with all legalities. Ways to support meeting his daily needs: -Buying a t-shirt -Buying his fairy tale Thank you very much!

BOWIE (ΦΩΤΗΣ) ENGLISH BELOW • 2 ετών, 25 κιλά, στειρωμένος • Λειτουργικός • Υπάκουος, εκπαιδεύσιμος • Ανθρωποκεντρικός Ο Bowie (Φώτης για τους εκλεκτούς) είναι πρότυπο ανωτερότητας, αξιοπρέπειας και θαυμασμού. Ένα πλάσμα που από μωρό βίωσε τον πόνο. Βρέθηκε πέρσι σε άσχημη κατάσταση πεταμένος σε ένα χωράφι, με αποτέλεσμα να μεταφερθεί στον κτηνίατρο και να ακρωτηριαστεί μερικώς το ένα πίσω πόδι του, ενώ το άλλο πίσω πόδι έχει αγκύλωση. Πρόσφατα ακρωτηριάστηκε ολικώς το πόδι και δε χρειάζεται να χρησιμοποιεί αμαξίδιο. Ο μικρός έχει κάνει άλματα! Στην αρχή σερνόταν, μόνος του όμως στάθηκε (όπως στάθηκε) και ξεκίνησε να περπατάει. Κι αυτό γιατί δεν έχει αντιληφθεί τι του συμβαίνει. Με τη βοήθεια όλων μας, αλλά πάνω απ' όλα με τη δική του εσωτερική δύναμη, έχει καταφέρει να μην καταλαβαίνει ότι δεν είναι αρτιμελής. Έκανε μια τρίμηνη σειρά υδροθεραπειών που τον δυνάμωσαν πολύ! Επίσης, έκανε εντατικά μαθήματα εκπαίδευσης και ανταποκρίθηκε περίφημα! Είναι ένας χαρούμενος σούπερ ήρωας γεμάτος θέληση για ζωή! Δε διαφέρει σε τίποτα από έναν αρτιμελή σκύλο τη δεδομένη στιγμή. Η ιστορία του έγινε έμπνευση για την Ραφαέλα Μαρτίνες η οποία έγραψε ένα παραμύθι με τίτλο "Ένα βήμα προς την ευτυχία", περνώντας πολλά μηνύματα σε παιδιά και ενήλικες. Δώστε ευκαιρίες σε ανάπηρα ζωάκια. Θα σας προσφέρουν με το παραπάνω όσα εσείς δίνετε σε εκείνα! Καθημερινά μαθήματα ζωής, μιας και οι ίδιοι έχουμε φανερά χάσει το νόημα. Βρίσκεται σε καταφύγιο στην Αττική και αναζητά την παντοτινή του οικογένεια. Αν είσαι εσύ ο άνθρωπος του, αν δεν έχεις άλλα ζώα, αν έχεις εμπειρία & μεγάλο εξωτερικό χώρο, στείλε μας μήνυμα στο 6973724074 Θα δοθεί για υιοθεσία με όλα τα νόμιμα. Τρόποι για να στηρίξεις στην κάλυψη των καθημερινών αναγκών του: -Αγοράζοντας μια μπλούζα -Αγοράζοντας ένα παραμύθι Ευχαριστούμε πολύ! Αν ενδιαφέρεστε για υιοθεσία παρακαλώ συμπληρώστε μας την φόρμα: Bowie (Fotis) • 2 years old, 25 kg, neutered • Functional • Obedient, trainable • Human-centered Bowie (known as Fotis to his close friends) is a model of superiority, dignity, and admiration.

About Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης))

What life with Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) looks like

Bowie (Fotis) (Bowie (Φώτης)) is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

An young 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.

🇬🇷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.
