Calrose

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Gender: female Birthday: October 2023 Castrated/Neutered: yes Weight: 16,5kg Back story: Calrose was abandoned next to a busy road in November 2025 in Souda with her babies Padi, Maki, Bomba, Riso, Shari, Onigiri and Basmati (passed away). Description/Updates/Pictures: Update February 2026: Two months ago, we received messages about an abandoned dog and her puppies living right next to a very busy road. When we tried to rescue the little family, it quickly became clear how difficult it would be. Calrose was absolutely terrified and wouldn’t let anyone come near her. While her puppies were already safe, it took us five long days of patience and trust-building, spending hours with her every single day, before we were finally able to catch her. Even today, Calrose is still insecure and doesn’t always feel comfortable around people. But little by little, she is starting to open up. Calrose is slowly learning that humans can be kind. She’s showing herself to be sensitive, gentle, and friendly. With a bit of time, patience, and understanding, she’ll surely become a wonderful companion. Now, the time is slowly coming for her to pass the torch and move on from her role as a devoted mom and to start a new chapter of her own Their rescue November 2025: This is the momma of the seven pups who were found in a field. We already introduced the pups we recently took in, the beautiful babies with their momma from the field. They are so precious. Calrose first ran away but when one of our cartakers went back with two of her precious pups she jumped into the car. She was so desperate to have them back! The benefit of having them together and with their mom is great! What makes a solid, stable mental development is having the family unit together during this crucial, young age.

About Calrose

What life with Calrose looks like

Calrose is a medium-sized 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. 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: Fearful rescue dog requiring patience and trust-building due to traumatic abandonment experience

🇬🇷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 Calrose, answered.

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