Ernesto

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

FACTSHEET: ALL ABOUT Ernesto Pictures (click to enlarge previews) Could Ernesto be your new soul mate? Ernesto is quite a sensitive dog, he will stand back with new people still but when he knows you he becomes very attached and affectionate. When he walks on leash he will stay by your side. Ernest and his other 6 siblings were abandoned outside our shelter inside crates in the middle of the summer. They had hidden the puppies near some trees next to a busy road. It was very hot and the poor babies had no water at all. Some managed to escape from the crates and hide in the bushes. We managed to catch the 7 seven very scared puppies and since then we have them at our shelter. We took them to the veterinarian and they have done their vaccines and are now adolescents. Species:dog Can travel after:ready to travel Gender:male Neutered:yes Health Issues:no Medication:no Weight:26 kg Height:62 cm Behaviour around dogs:Generally good but may protect his food or try to take food from other dogs, so needs to be separated around food. Behaviour around cats:unknown Behaviour around kids:The world is still new to him, so he might find children’s behaviour a little erratic and scary. However calm children with dog experience should be fine. Could be the only animal:yes Tags: available for adoption

About Ernesto

What life with Ernesto looks like

Ernesto is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Laiza Strays in Greece.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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 Ernesto, answered.

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