How do I contact the shelter about Monty?

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 Monty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Monty 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Monty 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 Monty 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 Monty 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.

Monty

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Monty lives in a pension in Patras/Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! male dog/castrated born. ca. June 2025 Size: ca. 48 - 50 cm Monty caught Maria’s attention because he wandered around the area around her house for over a month. In the evenings, he played in a nearby park with children, searched for love, and followed anyone who petted him. Unfortunately, no one took the pretty puppy in to keep him safe. Eventually, Maria took care of Monty, put a new collar on him in her garden, and let him rest. Of course, Maria gave him food and water, so he didn’t want to leave her garden anymore. One day, Monty followed children again and was missing for a week. Maria searched everywhere until he was brought back to her by a 12-year-old boy one day. To ensure Monty was finally safe, Maria took him to the vet right away. On the way there, he realized he wasn’t alone anymore, laid his head in Maria’s hands, and fell into a deep sleep. Monty is a totally loving, well-socialized dog who now waits in a local pension for people who will help him forget what he’s been through and start a new, beautiful life. Upon his arrival, Monty is vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. Of course, he also has his own EU pet passport.

Monty lebt in einer Pension in Patras/Griechenland.VIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Rüde/kastriertgeb. ca Juni 2025Grösse : ca. 48 - 50 cm Monty fiel Maria auf, da er über 1 Monat in der Gegend um ihr Haus umherirrte. Abends spielte er in einem nahegelegenen Park mit Kindern, suchte Liebe und folgte Jedem, der ihn streichelte. Leider nahm niemand den hübschen Hundejungen mit, damit er in Sicherheit war. Letztendlich kümmerte sich Maria um Monty, legte ihm in ihrem Garten ein neues Halsband an und ließ ihn sich erst einmal ausruhen. Natürlich bekam er Futter und Wasser von Maria, sodass er aus ihrem Garten nicht mehr weggehen wollte. Eines Tages folgte Monty wieder Kindern und blieb für 1 Woche verschwunden. Maria suchte ihn überall, bis er eines Tages von einem 12-jährigen Jungen zu ihr gebracht wurde. Damit Monty endlich in Sicherheit war, brachte Maria ihn umgehend zum Tierarzt. Auf der Fahrt dorthin merkte er, dass er nicht mehr alleine war, legte seinen Kopf in Maria’s Hände und schlief tief und fest ein. Monty ist ein total lieber, verschmuster Hund, der nun in einer örtlichen Pension auf Menschen wartet, die ihn das Erlebte vergessen lassen und ihm helfen, in ein schönes Leben zu starten. Bei seiner Einreise ist Monty geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Natürlich hat er auch einen eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis im Gepäck.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
