Dimitroyla (Δημητρούλα)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Dimitroula: Our girl was found by one of our volunteers on Saint Demetrius Day in 2025, lying in the middle of a busy highway, completely disoriented and weak. She was taken to the vet, where it was confirmed that she is definitely over 10 years old, weighs 32 kilos—about 10 kilos below her ideal weight—and has very poor dental health. She tested positive for dirofilariosis, though her heart hasn’t been severely affected by it. Dimitroula’s biggest problem is protein loss from her intestines. Our sweet, calm, and utterly cooperative girl wore a leash and let us lead her to our shelter, where she lay down in her enclosure, now feeling calm and safe. Since we didn’t recognize her as a stray from our area, we believe she was abandoned when she grew old and became seriously ill. Today, our girl continues to stay close to us and receives medication for her heart condition and protein loss. Calm, sweet, tender—she immediately gives her heart to anyone who meets her and gets along wonderfully with everyone! A little diamond who, in the twilight of her life, came to brighten ours! We don’t have much hope that she’ll be adopted, but we’ll give it a shot! Someone out there might fall in love with her soulful little eyes and offer her a soft, dry pillow and a warm hug so she can spend the rest of her life in comfort! If you’re interested in adopting her, send an SMS to 6970195672, write “I’m interested in Dimitroula,” and we’ll call you shortly, or send us a message through our page at (All animals from Adespotou Planet are available for adoption as required by law).

Δημητρούλα Το κορίτσι μας βρέθηκε από εθελόντριά μας ανήμερα του Αγίου Δημητρίου του 2025, ξαπλωμένη στη μέση δρόμου ταχείας κυκλοφορία, τελείως αποπροσανατολισμένη και αδύναμη. Μεταφέρθηκε στο γιατρό όπου διαπιστώθηκε ότι είναι σίγουρα πάνω από 10 ετών, 32 κιλά, περίπου 10 κάτω από το κανονικό της βάρος, με πολύ κακή κατάσταση δοντιών, θετική στη διροφιλάρια χωρίς ωστόσο να έχει επηρεαστεί η καρδιά της πολύ σοβαρά από αυτήν. Το μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα της Δημητρούλας μας είναι η απώλεια πρωτεϊνών από το έντερο. Το γλυκύτατο, ήρεμο και απόλυτα συνεργάσιμο κορίτσι μας έβαλε λουρί και μας άφησε να το οδηγήσουμε στον χώρο φιλοξενίας μας όπου ξάπλωσε στην περιφραξούλα του πλέον ήρεμο και ασφαλές. Καθώς δεν το αναγνωρίζαμε σαν αδεσποτάκι της περιοχής μας, θεωρούμε ότι πρόκειται για εγκατάλειψη όταν γέρασε και αρρώστησε σοβαρά. Σήμερα το κορίτσι μας εξακολουθεί να βρίσκεται κοντά μας και να παίρνει φαρμακευτική αγωγή για την καρδιά και την απώλεια πρωτεϊνών. Ήρεμο, γλυκύτατο, τρυφερό, χαρίζει την καρδούλα της αμέσως σε όποιον δει και τα πάει καλά με όλους ! Ένα διαμαντάκι που στη δύση της ζωούλας του ήρθε να ομορφύνει τη δική μας ζωή ! Δεν έχουμε πολλές ελπίδες ότι θα υιοθετηθεί, αλλά θα το δοκιμάσουμε ! Κάποιος εκεί έξω μπορεί να ερωτευτεί τα βαθουλωμένα ματάκια του και να του δώσει ένα μαλακό, στεγνό μαξιλαράκι και μια αγκαλιά για να ζήσει τα υπόλοιπα χρόνια της ζωούλας του ! Αν ενδιαφέρεστε για υιοθεσία στείλτε SMS στο 6970195672, γράψτε «ενδιαφέρομαι για την Δημητρούλα» και θα σας τηλεφωνήσουμε σύντομα, ή στείλτε μας μήνυμα στην σελίδα μας στο (Όλα τα ζώα του Αδέσποτου Πλανήτη δίνονται για υιοθεσία όπως ορίζει ο νόμος)

About Dimitroyla (Δημητρούλα)

What life with Dimitroyla (Δημητρούλα) looks like

Dimitroyla (Δημητρούλα) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dimitroyla (Δημητρούλα), answered.

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