How do I contact the shelter about Hector?

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 Hector on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hector 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 Hector 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 Hector 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 Hector 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.

Hector

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Friendly, watchful, people-oriented, agile Hector came to us at the animal shelter with his girlfriend Lucy. They had a home and their owner went back to Germany. They were supposed to follow, but now we received the information that they have finally lost their home. They waited for months at the animal shelter for their travel arrangements. Now we are looking for a new home for the two of them. Hector is a friendly and very people-oriented male dog. Hector knows how to play with a ball like Lucy and runs happily after it and sometimes brings it back. Hector is watchful and likes to look after his home. It would be like winning the lottery if we could find a home for Lucy and Hector together. We are looking for a rural home with a securely fenced garden and people with dog experience. They are all vaccinated, microchipped and have an EU passport. They will be checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See details on our homepage. Every dog we rehome makes space for another dog who has to struggle through life hungry and emaciated.

freundlich, wachsam, menschenbezogen, agil Hector kam zusammen mit seiner Freundin Lucy zu uns ins Tierheim. Sie hatten ein Zuhause und ihr Herrchen ist zurück nach Deutschland gegangen. Eigentlich sollten sie nachreisen, aber nun bekamen wir die Info, dass die Beiden endgültig ihr Zuhause verloren haben. Sie haben monatelang im Tierheim auf ihre Ausreise gewartet. Nun suchen wir für die 2 ein neues Zuhause. Hector ist ein freundliche und sehr menschenbezogener Rüde. Hector kennt wie Lucy das spielen mit einem Ball und er rennt freudig hinterher und bringt ihn auch manchmal zurück. Hector ist wachsam und passt gerne in sein Zuhause auf. Es wäre natürlich wie ein 6 er im Lotto, wenn wir ein Zuhause für Lucy und Hector zusammen finden würden. Wir suchen ein ländliches Zuhause mit einem sicher eingezäunten Garten und Menschen mit hundeerfahrung. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Hector

What life with Hector looks like

Hector is a 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.
