Elsa

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

This beautiful girl has a multi coloured coat that her photo does not give credit to! She also had very unusual eyes – one is dark brown and one is a light greenish yellow. She is the sister of Sam who is also on our website and is 3.5 years of age, weighs around 20kg and measures 70cm to the top of her head and 62cm to her shoulder. She was found on a river bank as a puppy with her five siblings and her mum, who was incredibly thin and struggling to keep herself and her puppies alive. She was rescued with her pups and now lives with her mum in a foster home in Greece. She is an incredibly clever dog, who will be so easy and rewarding to train – she wants to learn! She would need an active home as quite a high energy girl, friendly and very confident, and she is good with other dogs. Vaccinated and chipped, and will be neutered before leaving Greece, Elsa would make a fantastic addition to any home. If you are interested in Elsa please fill in one of our pre adoption applications from our homepage and for more information contact GILLIAN on

About Elsa

What life with Elsa looks like

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

An 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 Elsa, answered.

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