Filip

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Filip, a quiet, modest, reserved, and friendly small dog, was brought to us by local residents after he had been wandering around for some time. He was very thin and completely on his own. We estimate Filip to be about 10 years old. He is a very slender, small dog. In the animal shelter, Filip shows himself to be an exceptionally quiet and modest dog. He loves his caregivers and is open and friendly towards them. With strangers, he is initially reserved and needs some time to gain trust. Unfortunately, Filip has a difficult fate. A tumor was found in his mouth that is inoperable. The tumor is located very unfavorably and partly extends into the bone. An operation would probably lead to major wound healing problems and would burden Filip more than help him. Therefore, we would like to enable him above all one thing: as much quality of life and beautiful time as possible. Filip can eat soft food well and is currently coping well with it. He is satisfied in the animal shelter and feels quite comfortable with his caregivers. Of course, a home of his own would be our greatest wish for Filip. A quiet place with people who give him security and accompany him on his further journey. At the same time, we are realistic and know that it will be very difficult to find a home for him with his diagnosis. Therefore, we would also like to ask for your support for Filip. A sponsorship for our little senior would help us to ensure his care and the associated costs. With a monthly sponsorship, you can accompany Filip and contribute to ensuring that he spends his time with us well cared for, loved, and protected. Maybe there is still that one special person who wants to give Filip a home. We would be incredibly happy. And if that is not possible, a sponsorship for Filip is a wonderful gift. Filip may not have much time left. But the time he has left should be full of care, warmth, and love.

DE·Show original

ruhig, bescheiden, zurückhaltend, freundlich Filip wurde uns von Anwohnern gebracht, nachdem er dort schon seit einiger Zeit umhergelaufen war. Er war sehr dünn und ganz auf sich allein gestellt. Wir schätzen Filip auf etwa 10 Jahre und er ist ein ganz zierlicher, kleiner Hund. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Filip als ausgesprochen ruhiger und bescheidener Hund. Seine Pfleger mag er sehr und ihnen gegenüber ist er offen und freundlich. Bei fremden Menschen ist er zunächst noch zurückhaltend und braucht ein wenig Zeit, bis er Vertrauen fasst. Leider trägt Filip ein schweres Schicksal. Bei ihm wurde ein Tumor im Maul festgestellt, der nicht operabel ist. Der Tumor liegt sehr ungünstig und reicht teilweise bis in den Knochen. Eine Operation würde voraussichtlich zu großen Wundheilungsstörungen führen und Filip dadurch mehr belasten, als ihm helfen zu können. Deshalb möchten wir ihm vor allem eines ermöglichen: so viel Lebensqualität und schöne Zeit wie möglich. Weiches Futter kann Filip gut fressen und momentan kommt er damit gut zurecht. Im Tierheim ist er zufrieden und fühlt sich bei seinen Pflegern inzwischen recht wohl. Natürlich wäre ein eigenes Zuhause für Filip unser größter Wunsch. Ein ruhiger Platz bei Menschen, die ihm Geborgenheit schenken und ihn auf seinem weiteren Weg begleiten. Gleichzeitig sind wir realistisch und wissen, dass es mit seiner Diagnose sehr schwer sein wird, noch ein Zuhause für ihn zu finden. Deshalb möchten wir euch auch um Unterstützung für Filip bitten. Eine Patenschaft für unseren kleinen Senior würde uns sehr helfen, seine Versorgung und die anfallenden Kosten auch weiterhin sicherstellen zu können. Mit einer monatlichen Patenschaft könnt ihr Filip begleiten und dazu beitragen, dass er seine Zeit bei uns gut versorgt, geliebt und behütet verbringen darf. Vielleicht gibt es ja trotzdem diesen einen besonderen Menschen, der Filip ein Zuhause schenken möchte. Wir würden uns unendlich freuen. Und wenn das nicht möglich ist, ist auch eine Patenschaft für Filip ein wunderschönes Geschenk. Filip hat vielleicht nicht mehr unendlich viel Zeit. Aber die Zeit, die ihm bleibt, soll voller Fürsorge, Wärme und Liebe sein. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Filip

What life with Filip looks like

Filip is a large 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 Filip, answered.

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