Melina – reserved

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Melina is a sweet little girl found abandoned with a broken leg. She had to go to a specialist surgeon 5 hours drive away for her operation and a very kind volunteer made the trip with her in order to save her leg. Friends of the Strays of Greece helped pay for the surgery. The operation has gone very well and the surgeon managed to give her back full mobility on the leg. She will not cope well in the shelter being so small and she has obviously lived in a home before. So she really needs to find a forever home once the vet gives her the all clear. She is approximately 1 year old and weighs less than 10kg.

About Melina – reserved

What life with Melina – reserved looks like

Melina – reserved is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Friends of the Strays of Greece.

An young 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 Melina – reserved, answered.

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