Monica

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Monica was found abandoned on the road next to her dead sibling who was hit by a car. She wouldn't leave her side, but a volunteer took her and now she is temporarily at the Friends of Stray Animals shelter in Komotini, a shelter that is overcrowded as large and adult dogs are not adopted in our area. We hope Monica's fate will be different and she will find a home before the cold and rain come (the shelter is open on top, it's just a makeshift fenced area...) as temperatures in the area drop to minus 7 degrees Celsius in winter. Help us change Monica's life!

Η Μόνικα βρέθηκε παρατημένη πάνω στο δρόμο δίπλα στο σκοτωμένο αδερφάκι της που το πάτησε αυτοκίνητο. Δεν έφευγε από το πλευρό του, αλλά ένας εθελοντής την πήρε και τώρα βρίσκεται προσωρινά στο καταφύγιο των Φίλων Αδέσποτων Κομοτηνής, ένα καταφύγιο ασφυκτικά γεμάτο καθώς στην περιοχή μας δεν υιοθετούνται μεγάλα και ενήλικα σκυλιά. Ελπίζουμε η μοίρα της Μόνικα να είναι διαφορετική και να βρει ένα σπίτι πριν έρθουν τα κρύα και οι βροχές (το καταφύγιο είναι ανοιχτό από πάνω, είναι απλά ένας αυτοσχέδιος περιφραγμένος χώρος...) καθώς οι θερμοκρασίες στην περιοχή τον χειμώνα φτάνουν και τους μείον 7 βαθμούς Κελσίου. Βοηθήστε μας να αλλάξουμε την ζωή της Μόνικα!

About Monica

What life with Monica looks like

Monica is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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 Monica, answered.

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