Mina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Mina is an ethereal presence, a stunning, silky-coated setter girl you simply can’t ignore once you see her. It’s not just her outer beauty, not only her soft black-and-white coat, her large expressive eyes, and her long ears framing her delicate, elegant face. It’s her beautiful soul, too. The way she looks deep into your eyes, and you can see all the love and devotion a dog can hold. The way she gently rests her head on you, asking for a touch, for a moment that belongs only to her. It’s the patience, the calmness, the tenderness, the sweetness that radiates from her. Mina’s life hasn’t been easy. In fact, it was so hard that when she arrived at the shelter, emaciated, we were afraid she might not make it. But Mina proved us all wrong. After many vet visits, countless tests, and ongoing care, she finally stabilized. The fragile little dog we were once afraid to even touch began to gain weight and strength. And as she grew stronger, her energy returned and her eyes began to shine again—revealing her truly wonderful, affectionate personality. We love all our dogs dearly, but there’s always a special place in our hearts for the ones we once feared we might lose. Mina is one of them. That’s why we dream of the day she finds the life she truly deserves, a home with soft beds, endless affection, and a forever family who will adore her. And Mina, in return, will give back all that love and so much more. Because of what she has been through in the past, Mina will need a specific diet and to stay on a consistent treatment plan long-term.

About Mina

What life with Mina looks like

Mina is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Mina, answered.

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