Melita

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Melita is living at a foster home in Patras, Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE!!! Female/spayed; born around October 2025. Height: approx. 46 cm (as of July 2026). Melita and her sisters Maja and Melina were found in the mountainous region near Patras. Update as of July 22, 2026: The Greek foster mom reports on Melita and Maja: Both puppies are very friendly and social. They get along effortlessly with several other dogs. They are friendly toward people and can also be placed in families with children. Due to the large number of dogs already in their care, the foster parents unfortunately don't have enough time to teach Maja and Melita as much as they would like. Melita is very clever and learns quickly. Maja shows a certain dependency on her sister and tends to do exactly what Melita does. In any case, both girls will need plenty of patience and loving training in their new families to become wonderful companions. WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR: All three survived at this cruel place where many animals are abandoned. Their mother, a medium-sized dog, was already taken by animal welfare activists along with other dogs to Athens to the vet for spaying. Our three little ones’ mother is being rehomed by another organization. The three puppies are now living at a foster home with an animal welfare volunteer until they can fly to their own families at the end of January 2026. Like all puppies, these three also need lots of love and consistent training to grow into wonderful family dogs. Although the mother is medium-sized, we cannot provide any information about the adult size of the female puppies, as we don't know the father. Each puppy is vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. Additionally, each puppy naturally has its own EU pet passport.

Melita lebt auf einer Pflegestelle in Patras / Griechenland.VIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Hündin/kastriertgeb. ca Oktober 2025Grösse : ca 46 cm (Stand Juli 2026) Melita und ihre Schwestern Maja und Melina wurden in der Bergregion von Patras gefunden. Update 22.07.2026Die griechische Pflegemama berichtet über Melita und Maja: Beide Hundemädchen sind sehr freundlich und sozial. Sie leben mit mehreren anderen Hunden problemlos zusammen. Menschen gegenüber sind sie freundlich und können auch in einer Familie mit Kindern vermittelt werden. Aufgrund der Vielzahl an Hunden haben die Pflegeeltern leider nicht die nötige Zeit, um Maja und Melita so viel wie möglich beizubringen. Melita ist sehr clever und lernt schnell. Maja zeigt eine gewisse Abhängigkeit von ihrer Schwester und macht das, was Melita ihr vormacht. In jedem Fall sind in den neuen Familien der Beiden viel Geduld und liebevolle Erziehung nötig, um die Zwei zu tollen Begleiterinnen werden zu lassen. WAS BISHER GESCHAH:Alle 3 haben an diesem grausamen Ort, wo viele Tiere ausgesetzt werden, überlebt. Ihre Mutter, eine mittelgroße Hündin, wurde bereits von Tierschützern mit weiteren Hunden nach Athen zum Tierarzt gebracht, um kastriert zu werden. Die Mutter unserer 3 Kleinen wird von einer anderen Organisation vermittelt. Die 3 Welpenkinder leben nun bei einer Tierschützerin auf Pflegestelle, bis sie Ende Januar 2026 zu ihren eigenen Familien fliegen können. Wie alle Welpen benötigen auch diese 3 viel Liebe und eine konsequente Erziehung, um zu tollen Familienhunden heranwachsen zu können. Auch wenn die Mama mittelgroß ist, können wir zur ausgewachsenen Größe der Hundemädchen keine Angaben machen, da wir den Vater nicht kennen. Jeder Welpe ist geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Außerdem hat natürlich jedes Hundekind einen eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis im Gepäck.

About Melita

What life with Melita looks like

Melita is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

A 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Melita, answered.

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