How do I contact the shelter about Henry?

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

Can I adopt Henry 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 Henry 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 Henry 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 Henry 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.

Henry

Male · Adult · 4 years

We named him Errikos (Henry) because he reminds us of a nobleman, perhaps a knight, or in any case an important man from another era. His long black ears look as if he is wearing one of those powdered wigs aristocrats once wore, and his coat falls over his body like an expensive velvet overcoat, light and fluid, embracing the one who wears it. There was a period when he had to wear an Elizabethan collar and the resemblance became almost theatrical. Sitting in his little house, looking at us from a distance, he seemed to gaze ever so slightly down his nose, with a hint of snobbishness, as if convinced he was not born to be among us but destined for high office. Jokes aside, Errikos is one of those dogs with extraordinary expressiveness. You only have to watch him standing still and you can build entire stories around him. Behind that presence, though, there is a sad past. He lived in the municipal shelter of Tripoli, where he was reduced to a skeleton from starvation. We brought him to our sanctuary, and over time he slowly recovered and finally reached a healthy weight. He is truly beautiful, very gentle, a little hesitant and fearful. As a hunting dog, it is likely he was never properly socialized. Still, he shows a clear willingness to learn and to explore. When he walks in nature, no matter how unsure he may feel, he does what he knows best: he follows scents, nose to the ground, constantly exploring. It grounds him and helps him build confidence. In the city he is more cautious and easily frightened, yet cooperative. Even when he is unsure, if you offer him a bit of food and patience, he will respond. Ideally, Errikos is looking for a person with routine and patience, someone who perhaps lives in a quiet neighborhood with few overwhelming stimuli. It would be wonderful if that person also loves walks in nature as much as Errikos does. When he goes out into town he is hesitant and fearful, yet cooperative, and as much as he is afraid, if you have food to cajole him he will gladly eat it.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a medium-sized adult 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.
