How do I contact the shelter about Chappy?

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 Chappy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Chappy 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 Chappy 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 Chappy 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 Chappy 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.

Chappy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Gender: male Birthday: May 2012 Castrated/ Neutered: yes Weight: 26kg Back story: Chappy was surrendered after the owner returned to their home country in July 2020. Over 10 years old, never vaccinated, neutered, or treated for parasites. Description/Updates/Pictures: Update March 2026: Update December 2024: Happy CHAPPY hasn’t always been the gentle, affectionate senior he is today. With lots of love and patience, he did a complete 180—from a frightened dog who couldn’t be touched to… well, see for yourself! He’s a true example of how love can change someone. Chappy is now great with people, loves cuddles, and adores his squeaky toys. Update July 2024: Update January 2023: Chappy is still happy. He has become very good with people. He needs a bit of time to warm up men he doesn´t know, Probably because of his past, but also because we don´t have many men at the shelter. He´s just a happy senior enjoying all kind of attention he can get. He loves cuddles and his squeaky toys, but never destroys them. He´s very clean, he never does his business inside his pen. He´s good with other dogs, but being a senior himself he´d prefer a more quiet home without any boisterous youngsters. Much likely not good with cats. Update December 2020: Chappy is nothing like hewas when he found his way to the shelter. Chappy has settled in and likes human attention. No Caption No Caption No Caption Not Chappy, but HAPPY! Update November 2020: It turns out that he's actually a very sweet and cuddly fellow as soon as he trust someone His first days: No Caption No Caption

About Chappy

What life with Chappy looks like

Chappy is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Souda Shelter in Chania.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Senior dog who was previously chained and needs time to trust new people, especially men
