How do I contact the shelter about Ίrma (Ίρμα)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPAZ Athens handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ίrma (Ίρμα) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ίrma (Ίρμα) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPAZ Athens 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 Ίrma (Ίρμα) 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 Ίrma (Ίρμα) 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 SPAZ Athens early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ίrma (Ίρμα) 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 (EL). 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.

Ίrma (Ίρμα)

Mixed Breed · Female · 3 years

Irma spent her early years knowing only fear and darkness. Confined in a room, used as a hunting tool, she learned to survive in insecurity and uncertainty. Her character was built on fear, because that was all she knew. And yet, behind all of this, Irma is a being who thirsts for love. She is a dog who needs someone to show her the way, to offer her certainty that she will never be alone again. She needs time to escape her past, but with a little patience she begins to blossom. Hounds are among the kindest and most tender creatures, and unfortunately often among the most mistreated. However, Irma is now taking steps forward. She is slowly unlocking her true nature, trying, opening up. With stability and love, when she gets to know you, she will become your most loyal companion. Life with her will be filled with moments of tenderness and trust. She is wonderful with other animals, plays with all of them and her joy lights up her eyes. ⚖️ Size:

Ίρμα έζησε τα πρώτα της χρόνια γνωρίζοντας μόνο τον φόβο και το σκοτάδι. Κλεισμένη σε ένα δωμάτιο, χρησιμοποιημένη σαν εργαλείο κυνηγιού, έμαθε να επιβιώνει μέσα στην ανασφάλεια και στην αβεβαιότητα. Ο χαρακτήρας της χτίστηκε πάνω στον τρόμο, γιατί αυτό ήταν το μόνο που γνώριζε. Κι όμως, πίσω από όλα αυτά, η Ίρμα είναι ένα πλάσμα που διψά για αγάπη. Είναι ένα σκυλί που χρειάζεται κάποιον να της δείξει τον δρόμο, να της προσφέρει βεβαιότητα ότι δεν θα είναι ποτέ ξανά μόνη. Θέλει χρόνο για να ξεφύγει από το παρελθόν της, μα με λίγη υπομονή αρχίζει να ανθίζει. Τα κυνηγόσκυλα είναι από τα πιο γλυκά και τρυφερά πλάσματα και δυστυχώς συχνά από τα πιο κακομεταχειρισμένα. Η Ίρμα, όμως, σήμερα κάνει βήματα μπροστά. Ξεκλειδώνει σιγά-σιγά την πραγματική της φύση, προσπαθεί, ανοίγεται. Με σταθερότητα και αγάπη, όταν σε μάθει, θα γίνει ο πιο πιστός σύντροφός σου. Η ζωή μαζί της θα είναι γεμάτη στιγμές τρυφερότητας και εμπιστοσύνης. Είναι υπέροχη με άλλα ζώα, παίζει με όλα και η χαρά της φωτίζει το βλέμμα της. ⚖️ Μέγεθος: Μεσαίο

About Ίrma (Ίρμα)

What life with Ίrma (Ίρμα) looks like

Ίrma (Ίρμα) is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPAZ Athens in Athens.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires patient, experienced owner due to trauma history and fearful nature

🇬🇷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.
