Daisy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Gender: female Birthday: 2016 Castrated/Neutered: yes Weight: 21,2 kg Back story: Daisy used to live at Souda Square and came to the shelter after being attacked by another dog in July 2025. Description/Updates/Pictures: Update July 2026: The long period of recovery from her injury is now well behind. Today, Daisy is a happy senior lady who loves relaxing on the couch. She goes outside with another senior, our Jiles but she isn't really interested in other dogs. To Daisy two things matter most: cuddles and tasty treats. Update April 2026: Daisy is an old lady who lived on the street for the majority of her life until she got attacked from her pack. After a long journey she finally recovered fully. She likes to eat, sleep and cuddle- give a senior a chance! Update October 2025: It has been 3 months since Daisy came into our care. She has made good progress, though we’re not at the end of her recovery yet. She was a street dog in Chania. But Daisy is enjoying life now; cuddles, cooling mats and she has even started to lie on her very own bed. Step by step she’s settling in and finding comfort. Update July 2025: If you have been to Souda Square, you know Daisy. Daisy is the local old lady hound that rests, eats and sleeps at the square. Supposedly everyone loves her. Supposedly everyone cares for her. Until she is injured and hands must go into their pockets, then sadly, she is no one’s dog. She is a stray. I received a phone call one morning that there was an injured dog at the square that needed help. I asked if it was one of the regulars. “No, just a stray”. And this was from the cafe that had “housed” her for so many years. I asked for a photo so as to know who we are looking for and they sent me Daisy. “That’s Daisy! Why did you just call her a stray! Years ago when I wanted to take her from the square you yelled and insisted I not touch her! That you all loved her and would care for her! I will of course pick her up but please, we are a non profit, can you collect any funding so that we can cover her costs?” Dead at the other end of the line…. I called others at the square and the ONLY one, the ONLY person/business who whole heartedly said she would cover the costs was my friend Marianna. Marianna owns the Parthenon Hotel. Marianna is an animal lover and a good person. I was touched. Back to Daisy. Daisy was attacked by another dog. We don’t know when or who or how. All we are allowed to know is that she was injured and that we must help. We have been treating Daisy for many days now. Giving her the utmost quality care. She is not happy at the shelter but is starting to get comfortable. Richard, our caretaker, even boiled her chicken when she refused to eat. We have a long road ahead of us. Lots of necrotic skin. But we will manage and make Daisy new again. Any room in your heart for an overweight, old hound? She is docile and just wants comfort and care. She did give us a smile the other day.

About Daisy

What life with Daisy looks like

Daisy is a large 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. 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: Recovering from street life trauma, needs patience and continued rehabilitation

🇬🇷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 Daisy, answered.

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