Adopt Erika

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

timid, insecure, friendly Erika has been in our animal shelter since last year. She was brought in for treatment and has not been picked up since. Erika is a very insecure female dog and no one has been able to build trust with her so far. She is very compatible with other dogs and we have now integrated her into our off-leash area. On the street she would certainly have a hard time, as she keeps her distance from people and barks constantly when someone approaches her. In the animal shelter among the dogs she feels very comfortable and is happy. For Erika we are not looking for a home. We would greatly appreciate support through a sponsorship to be able to cover the costs for food and annual vaccinations, deworming, and spot-ons.

ängstlich, unsicher, verträglich Erika ist schon seit dem letzten Jahr in unserem Tierheim. Sie wurde zur Behandlung gebracht und nicht mehr abgeholt. Erika ist eine sehr unsichere Hündin und keiner konnte bisher zu ihr vertrauen aufbauen. Sie ist mit anderen Hunden sehr verträglich und wir haben sie nun bei uns im Freilauf integriert. Auf der Straße hätte sie es sicher sehr schwer, da sie sich von Menschen sehr fern hält und kommt man in ihre Nähe bellt sie permanent. Im Tierheim zwischen den Hunden fühlt sie sich sehr wohl und ist zufrieden. Für Erika suchen wir kein Zuhause. Wir würden uns über Unterstützung mit einer Patenschaft sehr freuen um die Kosten für Futter und jährliche Impfungen, Wurmkuren, Spot ons tragen zu können. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Erika

What life with Erika looks like

Erika is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇷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 Erika, answered.

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