Michelle

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Michelle was born on the street, like so many puppies that are born in our country without a future and without any hope.She came to us with her siblings, and at first, all the puppies were very scared, they didn't approach people and barked continuously. On the day she arrived at the shelter, dirty and frightened, we went to take her out of the crate of the van and she threatened to bite us. Not only did she not bite, but we took her out, gave her a quick bath, and held her in our arms with a towel for quite a while.S he curled up there and didn't move. At some point, she relaxed and her little eyes closed.From then on, a great effort was made to socialize her and her siblings. Of the four puppies, Michelle was the most hesitant at first, and still is, however, day by day she is becoming more open.She mimics her sisters who have opened up much more, she plays as well, approaches us more, and takes treats.

About Michelle

What life with Michelle looks like

Michelle is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

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 Michelle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Michelle?
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 Michelle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Michelle 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 Michelle 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 Michelle 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 Michelle 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.
