Adopt Kobi

Mixed Breed · Male

We were able to rescue Kobi, together with his sister Nova, from very poor living conditions. He is vaccinated, microchipped and treated against parasites. Although Kobi sometimes likes to bark at unfamiliar dogs from a distance, he is friendly and gets along well with them once they come closer. We have not yet been able to test him with cats. When fully grown, Kobi is expected to be a medium-sized dog and will probably weigh around 13–17 kg. We can well imagine Kobi as a lovely family dog.

About Kobi

What life with Kobi looks like

Kobi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at PAWS Paleochora in Paleochora (Chania, Crete).

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.

🇬🇷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 Kobi, answered.

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