Charlie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Update 29.08.2025: Here is a new photo of Charlie (here with Soraya): Update 24.08.2023: Charlie has been with us for quite a while. He is a smart dog. Charlie is truly one of a kind- his character is so unique, it’s almost impossible to put into words and it sets him apart from anyone else. He flew over to Athens twice because he had an ulcer on his eye that wouldn’t heal. Since then he has been in foster care by one of the staff. No Caption No Caption Thankfully the treatment was successful and the ulcer has now healed. He does have a problem with dry eyes that requires ongoing treatment but there is the chance that the treatment can be tapered down over time. Charlie is around 6 years old (possibly older), stands about 45cm tall and weighs 15kg. Charlie is an easygoing and confident dog — you can take him along no matter where you go. He loves car rides and he can sleep literally anywhere, whether it's a busy airport or a restaurant. He’s house trained and enjoys the peace and quiet of his foster home. He also loves attention and cuddles. Charlie doesn’t just sound like the perfect dog- he is! He’s waiting for the right person to come along His story: Charlie Elizabeth writes: Charlie is a completely misunderstood pooch. Even I had the wrong impression of him in the beginning. You see, Charlie seemed like a kid with OCD. When he put something in his mind, he only would focus on that, I thought. But this is not the case. You see, Charlie is not OCD. He is actually receptive to you even when you think that he is engulfed in his thoughts. Charlie is sensitive and smart. Charlie has a humorous side. He also gives super cutey looks. He’s so adorable. Charlie always has a teddy bear in his bed. He is one of my favorites. Charlie came to us with Erlichia, a tick born infection. We have been treating it vigorously for over a year. We are having his latest tests very soon, he is most probably cured but once we have the results we will update this post. Charlie gets along with most everyone, he plays in a group of over thirty animals. Charlie does have a trigger to pain (he was most probably physically abused) so I would suggest this little man go to a home without children. Consider my “softy with a hard shell” Charlie. He will warm the deepest part of your soul. Promise. His story: Charlie is really cool! He followed home one of our fosters when she was walking her dogs and he decided to stay. She took care of him for a while, but couldn't keep him because she already had too many animals to look after. Charlie is a very sweet and sensitive soul. He's very friendly with humans and good with other dogs. From what we can see at the shelter he has some prey drive and therefore may not be suitable for homes with cats.

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie 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: Requires ongoing treatment for dry eyes

🇬🇷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 Charlie, answered.

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