He is a goofy boy with a great personality. He is full of energy and knows how to get people to notice him. Houdini is a really easy dog, good with other animals and very nice to people. He walks perfectly on the leash. Houdini has got the looks as well with his husky coloured coat.Houdini has his whole life ahead of him and the sooner he gets to spend it in a home with a loving family, the better. He was taken from the streets, because people threatened to kill him. This hasn't damaged Houdini's trust in people, on the contrary. He absolutely loves being around people. What this dog needs will be clear: his own people, who'd like to give him lots of love and attention. An active family would be perfect. Please get in touch with us if you think you're a match. You would be very lucky to have him. ?Want to help ​HoudiniSponsorBecome a sponsor an guarantee that their daily needs like food and parasite treatment is covered.

About Houdini

What life with Houdini looks like

Houdini is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Gouves Shelter in Heraklion.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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 Houdini, answered.

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