Adopt Brian

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Young · 3 years

Update 8.12.2022: Just look at those faces, Madita and Brian. They are overflowing with joy. Brian is a beautiful bully who had been rehomed at one point but was returned because of his strength and his prey drive (he broke out of his yard and attacked sheep). Brian is not aggressive towards humans, on the contrary, he melts in their hands. Brian with visitors. Brian is now 4+ years of age and needs to go to an experienced bully handler. City living would be best for him. Adopt Brian today Update: Brian is a wonderful young dog who had found a home but was returned because he was aggressive with other animals. Brian is a strong boy. He is sweet and kind and submissive to his humans. Brian needs a home with an experienced bully owner. His story: “My sister Ivy said that there are people who don't love me cause I'm a certain breed. That can't be so cause people are good and fun and nice and cute and make me happy” -the big love of Elizabeth's life, Brian, male, castrated, healthy, staffy, 2 years old” Brian, January 2020 – born 2018. September 2020. His story: Brian and Ivy are young. We'll get details about their age and health condition when they'll go to the vet. This morning these two staffies were left tied up to our neighbor’s fence. Dirty and neglected, these animals cannot tell us their past but it doesn’t seem like a good one. January 2020

About Brian

What life with Brian looks like

Brian is a large young adult staffordshire bull terrier 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: High prey drive, requires secure fencing, aggressive with other animals

🇬🇷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 Brian, answered.

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