Adopt Marley

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

It has this fur that seems like its hair hasn't decided whether it wants to be curly or straight, so it ended up wavy. It also hasn't decided whether it wants to be short or long, so it remained medium. And it's like this from top to bottom, from head to tail. You could say it looks permanently unkempt, but basically, it doesn't look unkempt; it looks like its hair is intentionally like that, slightly tousled but with purpose, as if it deliberately shows something from its ancestors, even though we have no idea who they were. Maybe Setter, maybe Labrador, maybe nothing. Marley is a sweet, velvety, and innocent puppy. He is happy, beautiful, and a little insecure, just enough so that when you give him a confidence boost either with a kind word or a treat, his eyes shine and he gathers courage to conquer the world. It is a delight to the eyes, both in appearance and in character, truly a pleasure, one of those puppies that seems like it will grow into a good dog, a sweet dog.

About Marley

What life with Marley looks like

Marley is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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 Marley, answered.

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