How do I contact the shelter about Daphne?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Gouves Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Daphne on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Daphne if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gouves 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 Daphne 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 Daphne 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 Gouves Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Daphne 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.

I am a super sweet and affectionate, beautiful black German shepherd mix with enchanting eyes. Volunteers fall in love with me the minute they cuddle me. So I've been thinking... if I'm such a good cuddler, and I give people a good feeling instantly: come over and cuddle me, and take me home, so you and I can have a good life together. I don’t have issues with other dogs if they are polite, but I don’t get along with everyone. Cats are okay with me. I have been patiently waiting for a family to call my own. I just want to belong...please sleep on it and let my caretakers know in the morning :)?Want to help DaphneSponsorBecome a sponsor an guarantee that their daily needs like food and parasite treatment is covered.

About Daphne

What life with Daphne looks like

Daphne is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Gouves Shelter in Heraklion.

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.

🇬🇷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.
