Liza

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Liza is a mixed breed Golden Retriever very friendly with people and other animals. She's been with me for 2.5 years. I got her from a shelter and we've worked a lot on her fears of city noise and cars. She's quite calm now in the house and responds to basic commands. She has her own bed to sleep in and doesn't climb onto the couch. When she eats, I can put the leash on her at the same time without her remembering. However, if something gets into her mouth, she won't give it up and will try to claim it. For this reason, I don't consider her suitable for children. Since my mother, who suffers from dementia, has been living with me for a few months, it's difficult for me to manage the daily challenges, and I'm looking for a home that will love and care for Liza.

Η Λίζα είναι ένα ημίαιμο Golden Retriever πολύ φιλικό με ανθρώπους και άλλα ζώα.Βρισκεται κοντά μου 2,5 χρόνια.Την πήρα από καταφύγιο και έχουμε δουλέψει πολύ τις φοβίες που είχε με τους θορύβους της πόλης και τα αυτοκίνητα.Ειναι αρκετά ήρεμη τώρα πια στη βόλτα και ακούει σε βασικές εντολές.Εχει το δικό της κρεβάτι να κοιμάται και δεν ανεβαίνει στον καναπέ.Οταν τρώει, μπορώ ταυτόχρονα να της βάζω το λουρί χωρίς να θυμώνει.Ομως αν πάρει κάτι στο στόμα της,δεν το δίνει και το διεκδικεί.Για το λόγο αυτό δεν τη θεωρώ κατάλληλη για παιδιά.Επειδη μαζί μου ζει εδώ και λίγους μήνες η μητέρα μου που πάσχει από άνοια,μου είναι δύσκολο να διαχειριστώ τις δυσκολίες που παρουσιάζονται καθημερινά και ψάχνω ένα σπίτι που θα δεχτεί τη Λίζα και θα τη φροντίσει με αγάπη.

About Liza

What life with Liza looks like

Liza is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Liza, answered.

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