Jamie

Mixed Breed · Male · 2 years

I have no known medical issues but I need blood tests to make sure there are no underlying issues I came to the shelter quite a while ago. I have been to different foster homes and I have even been adopted once, but then returned back to the shelter after some time. I don't really understand why, but here we are.I am a young and energetic boy, who needs someone to play with and have a good time. I could use an experienced owner who knows a bit how to handle life-loving dogs like me. I would fit well in an active home, where I could use all that extra energy that I have. What I am looking for is a home I can spent the rest of my life in. I need people who are willing to commit and I really don't want yet another family to abandon me. I promise to give you all my heart and my love, if you just promise to give me a forever home. Could you promise me that?

About Jamie

What life with Jamie looks like

Jamie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Gouves Shelter in Heraklion.

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: History of multiple returns to shelter, needs commitment and stability

🇬🇷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 Jamie, answered.

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