HARRY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Haris was one of the sickest dogs we took in from the municipal shelter of Sparta. Whether it was because he wasn’t physically well, or because he had been worn down by the conditions, or both, when he arrived he was a sad wreck. His transformation has been remarkable, inside and out. Haris reached his ideal weight, his wounds healed completely, and his coat recovered. But the most moving change is emotional. It’s hard to capture in a photo just how happy he has become, how gentle, affectionate, and social. His joy is so clear and simple that we named him Haris. He has a kind, open face, two beautiful honey-colored eyes, a soft, velvety coat, and he’s finally ready to live a life he never even knew was possible. Haris adores people. He is incredibly affectionate, cooperative, walks well on a leash, listens, communicates, and loves. He loves everyone, familiar or not. He is an easygoing, kind-hearted dog. With other dogs, he is patient and friendly. He has lived in a home for a few months and was excellent: calm, clean, and good on walks. He is a gentle, affectionate soul and is ready for his forever home. VIDEO

About HARRY

What life with HARRY looks like

HARRY is a medium-sized 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.

Note from the shelter: Recovery from poor shelter conditions and previous health issues

🇬🇷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 HARRY, answered.

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