Dexter

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Dexter was found tied to the shelter fence last year. He is around 2 years of age and has proved to be a sweet natured and friendly boy who thrives on activity and is happiest when he is out exploring the world. He would suit an active home where he can be with someone who likes to be out and about on long walks rather than short strolls. Friendly and playful he can easily be homed with another dog or dogs. Dexter is a bit of an escapologist due to his enquiring and clever nature so he will need a home with secure fencing! Not because he is naughty but because he still needs to learn some boundaries of where and when he can go exploring. He would benefit from some positive training so that he can understand what is expected of him and to get the best out of this highly intelligent dog. In the right home – active, secure and with an owner willing to guide him he will be a wonderful companion who will give many hours of fun… he is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated, weighing around 17kgs and measuring 43cm to the shoulder. If you are interested in Dexter please fill in a pre adoption form from our homepage and for more information contact GILLIAN on

About Dexter

What life with Dexter looks like

Dexter is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Greek Animal Rescue in Athens.

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.

🇬🇷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 Dexter, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dexter?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Greek Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dexter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dexter if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Greek Animal Rescue 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 Dexter 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 Dexter 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 Greek Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dexter 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.
