Hermes

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Imagine a medium-sized Setter, with all the character of Setters, with that long, smooth coat, the bushy tail, the ears, everything, really. Now paint it pitch black. Tar-black, ebony, blue-black, whatever you want to call it, and once you’ve painted it, leave one or two white tufts on the chin and the chest and on one paw, as if you ran out of black paint just when you were almost done and were too lazy to open another container. That is Hermes. A sort of Setter, but almost completely black, as happy and energetic as he needs to be, as gentle as he should be, and occasionally a little crazy, but not unbearably so. He is a dog that craves human contact and all the things he can do with people: walks, play, cuddles, companionship, everything. He has the full desire to do, to live, to learn; he wants to live, to love, and to be loved. With proper daily exercise, some house rules, a schedule, a routine, and a little patience, Hermes will become a wonderful pet who will love you and whom you will love very much.

About Hermes

What life with Hermes looks like

Hermes is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

An young 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 Hermes, answered.

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