Irini

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Irini is a friendly, calm, gentle, playful, and people-oriented medium-sized female dog. She came to our shelter in mid-October during a small spay/neuter event. Initially, the dog was very shy and reserved. In the first two weeks, she would retreat to her bed whenever someone approached her. In the evenings, we would wrap her in a cozy blanket. However, Irini needed some time to gain trust. And after another two weeks, the ice was finally broken! She now happily greets visitors to her enclosure, and her whole body shakes with excitement. Irini is a very gentle dog. Even during playtime, she is considerate and never gets too wild. She is estimated to be 9 years old and is unlikely to be a typical street dog. We can imagine that she once had a home and lost it for some reason. At the shelter, she shows herself to be a very nice and tolerant dog. At 9 years old, she has left behind the wild antics of youth and brings a pleasant calmness. Therefore, we can imagine Irini as a good dog for beginners. We wish for Irini a loving home where she can arrive and finally experience the security she probably once knew. She has so much love to give and just wants to belong. They are all vaccinated, chipped, and have an EU passport. They are screened for age-appropriate Mediterranean diseases. See the information on our website. Each dog placed makes room for one of those dogs who are starving and emaciated.

freundlich, ruhig, sanft, verspielt, menschenbezogen Irini kam Mitte Oktober während einer kleinen Kastrationsaktion zu uns ins Tierheim. Anfangs war die mittelgroße Hündin sehr schüchtern und zurückhaltend. In den ersten zwei Wochen zog sie sich meist in ihr Körbchen zurück, sobald jemand zu ihr kam. Abends haben wir sie dann immer ganz gemütlich in eine kuschelige Decke eingepackt. Doch Irini brauchte einfach ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Und nach weiteren zwei Wochen war der Knoten endlich geplatzt! Mittlerweile freut sie sich riesig, wenn man ihr Gehege betritt, und vor lauter Begeisterung wackelt gleich der ganze Hund. Irini ist eine ganz sanfte Hündin. Auch beim Spielen zeigt sie sich ausgesprochen rücksichtsvoll und wird niemals zu wild. Sie ist geschätzt 9 Jahre alt und gehört vermutlich nicht zu den typischen Straßenhunden. Wir können uns gut vorstellen, dass sie einmal ein Zuhause hatte und dieses aus irgendeinem Grund verloren hat. Im Tierheim zeigt sie sich als ausgesprochen nette und verträgliche Hündin. Mit ihren geschätzten 9 Jahren hat sie die wilden Flausen der Jugend bereits hinter sich und bringt eine angenehme Ruhe mit. Deshalb können wir uns Irini auch gut als Anfängerhündin vorstellen. Für Irini wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen darf und endlich wieder die Geborgenheit bekommt, die sie vermutlich schon einmal kennenlernen durfte. Sie hat so viel Liebe zu geben und möchte einfach dazugehören. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hund macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Irini

What life with Irini looks like

Irini is an extra-large 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Irini, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Irini?
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 Irini on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Irini 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Irini 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 Irini 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 Irini 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.
