FinleyBASIC CARENEUTERINGBLOOD TESTSMEDICAL COSTS ​I have no known medical issues but I need blood tests to make sure there are no underlying issues​Ask moreLovely boyHi, I am FinleyMy sponsor is ​&​I was owned before but unfortunately my owner got some serious health problems, so they couldn’t take care of me anymore. So I was brought to the shelter to find a new home. What can I say about myself? I am a very well-mannered boy and already know how to behave in a house. I am very good with other animals, especially with dogs all sized and aged. So I would do well in a house with other dogs in to keep me company. I am not that comfortable around cats, so I would need some more testing with that. But overall I am just a nice and easy-going young fellow.I am not used to living in a shelter environment and hope this is just a short-time stop for me. I have been incredibly lucky to have a chance to live as a part of a family already, unlike many of my friends here in the shelter. But I am hoping that I could find that luck once more. I am hoping there is still a family for me.?Want to help ​FinleySponsorBecome a sponsor an guarantee that their daily needs like food and parasite treatment is covered.

About Finley

What life with Finley looks like

Finley is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Gouves Shelter in Heraklion.

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 Finley, answered.

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