Adopt Fofo

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

There are times when we try to find a name for a dog and it feels as if all our inspiration has vanished. And then there are other times when the circumstances almost automatically lead us to the right choice. That is what happened with the dogs we brought from the municipal shelter in Krestena. Most of them had something of a sheepdog-guardian in them, while the rest were hunting types. No recognizable breeds, just a few basic traits. The kind of dogs you see all over the Greek countryside, the kind that do not necessarily catch your eye at first glance. Until you spend a little more time with them and then you understand. So almost all of them were given traditional Greek names, the sort you do not often hear in the capital. Names that used to be given to boys and girls in the village. That is how “Foteini” became Fofo, our little Fofo at the shelter. Fluffy Fofo, with her thick, soft coat and her innocent eyes. Fofo who wags her tail and jumps up on us when she sees us approaching with the leash in our hands. Little Fofo, who is a bit shy and a bit mischievous. Just when you think she is hesitant, she suddenly flips onto her back for a belly rub and invites you to sit with her on the grass and enjoy the spring sunshine together. Our Fofo, who wants nothing more than a family to love her and to see how special she truly is. Fofo is a young adult girl who gets along well with dogs and people alike. She enjoys affection and walks, and she looks into your eyes with the devotion and tenderness that only dogs know how to show.

About Fofo

What life with Fofo looks like

Fofo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

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 Fofo, answered.

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