Masty

Mixed Breed · Male

Masty is looking for a home 💚 Meet Masty 🐾 MASTY - LARGE PAWS, A LARGE HEART AND A LIFE FULL OF ADVENTURE AHEAD! From tiny troublemaker to charming heartthrob - our Masty is looking for people who want to discover the world with him! Sometimes life writes stories that start sadly but are full of hope. The story of our Masty is one of them. Together with his brothers Jako and Marlo, Masty was abandoned as a tiny puppy in front of our animal rescuer Sergej's house in Bosnia. The three brothers were just a few weeks old, too small to survive without their mom, and had injuries on their heads. They were probably attacked by a bird of prey or a chicken. Three little dog souls who needed nothing but warmth, security and a loving mom. But luckily there was Sergej! He took the three little fur balls in, treated their injuries and nursed them back to health with endless patience, care and love. And look at this beautiful guy today! The tiny puppy has grown into a handsome young dog. With his current height of 49 cm, Masty has already challenged his brothers in terms of size. And because he is still growing, the last word on the size scale has probably not been spoken yet! With his beautiful black fur, warm brown eyes and charming gaze, Masty certainly has the best conditions to conquer hearts. What Masty is still missing is the most important thing: his own family! People who show him how beautiful a dog's life can be. Who walks with him through meadows, discovers new things together, patiently teaches him the basics of dog training and can still laugh when the young gentleman comes up with particularly creative ideas. Because one thing is certain: Whoever has

🐾 Masty sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Masty kennenlernen 🐾 MASTY – GROSSE PFOTEN, GROSSES HERZ UND EIN GANZES LEBEN VOLLER ABENTEUER VOR SICH! Vom winzigen Sorgenkind zum bezaubernden Herzensbrecher – unser Masty sucht Menschen, die mit ihm gemeinsam die Welt entdecken möchten! Manchmal schreibt das Leben Geschichten, die traurig beginnen und doch voller Hoffnung stecken. Die Geschichte unseres Masty ist eine davon. Gemeinsam mit seinen Brüdern Jako und Marlo wurde Masty als winziges Hundebaby vor dem Haus unseres Tierschützers Sergej in Bosnien ausgesetzt. Die drei Brüder waren gerade einmal wenige Wochen alt, viel zu klein, um ohne ihre Mama zurechtzukommen, und hatten obendrein Verletzungen am Kopf. Vermutlich waren sie von einem Greifvogel oder einem Huhn attackiert worden. Drei kleine Hundeseelen, die eigentlich nichts anderes gebraucht hätten als Wärme, Geborgenheit und eine liebevolle Mama. Doch zum Glück gab es Sergej! Er nahm die drei kleinen Fellknäuel bei sich auf, versorgte ihre Verletzungen und päppelte sie mit unendlich viel Geduld, Fürsorge und Liebe wieder auf. Und schaut euch diesen wunderschönen Kerl heute an! Aus dem winzigen Hundebaby ist inzwischen ein stattlicher junger Rüde geworden. Mit seinen aktuell 49 cm hat Masty seine Brüder zumindest in Sachen Körpergröße schon ordentlich herausgefordert. Und weil er noch wächst, ist das letzte Wort auf der Größenskala vermutlich noch nicht gesprochen! Mit seinem wunderschönen schwarzen Fell, den warmen braunen Augen und seinem bezaubernden Blick bringt Masty jedenfalls beste Voraussetzungen mit, um Herzen im Sturm zu erobern. Was Masty jetzt noch fehlt, ist das Allerwichtigste: eine eigene Familie! Menschen, die ihm zeigen, wie wunderschön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Die mit ihm über Wiesen spazieren, gemeinsam neue Dinge entdecken, ihm geduldig das Hunde-Einmaleins beibringen und auch dann noch lachen können, wenn der junge Herr vielleicht einmal auf besonders kreative Ideen kommt. Denn eines ist sicher: Wer s

About Masty

What life with Masty looks like

Masty is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) in Greece.

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 Masty, answered.

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