How do I contact the shelter about Mpella (Μπέλλα)?

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 Mpella (Μπέλλα) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mpella (Μπέλλα) 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 Mpella (Μπέλλα) 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 Mpella (Μπέλλα) 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 Mpella (Μπέλλα) 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.

Mpella (Μπέλλα)

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Bella was acquired as a puppy by a farmer in Southern Greece and was chained outside his chicken coop. For six years, her life was defined by a 2-meter chain and the chickens she guarded with devotion. Until she came to Vrouva Farm, that was her life. Chain and chickens. Bella never played like a puppy, never experienced joy, never received love—how much this dog was deprived of... She was merely a tool, nothing more. A chained, miserable creature. However, her life changed. Now, she is safe at Vrouva Farm, free from the chain, stretching her aching legs, and making friends for the first time in her life. She was finally given a chance at happiness, and she seized it without a second thought and without looking back! We are amazed at how sweet and cooperative she is, and how well-behaved she has been. Everything was new to her, yet she looks at us with her big, gentle eyes filled with devotion and affection, wagging her tail. She is an exceptionally kind dog with a wonderful character, who loves people and shows it in every possible way despite all she has been through. She seeks affection and is very tender and loving. The hardships she endured did not touch her soul. She may be large, but she has the heart of a puppy. She’s black, but her heart is pure white and golden, and she longs so much for love and a beautiful home. We are certain that someone will open their heart and home to this wonderful dog. Bella's rescue from her chains was a miracle! It took effort, hard work, and support from an entire community of people, including Vasso, Eleni, their supporters, Lynda Thomson, Lyn, and the Friends of the Strays of Greece, as well as the Vrouva team. She is about 6 years old, spayed, and all her blood tests are perfect, so now the final step in her Odyssey is to find her a loving family. Our Bella is patiently waiting for her person.

Η Μπέλλα! Η Μπελλα αποκτήθηκε ως κουτάβι από έναν αγρότη στη Νότια Ελλάδα και αλυσοδέθηκε έξω από το κοτέτσι του. Για έξι χρόνια, η ζωή της οριζόταν από μια αλυσίδα 2 μέτρων και τις κότες που φύλαγε με αφοσίωση. Μέχρι που ήρθε στη Φάρμα Βρούβα, αυτή ήταν η ζωή της. Αλυσίδα και κότες. Η Μπέλλα δεν έπαιξε σαν κουτάβι, δε χάρηκε, δεν πήρε αγάπη, δεν, δεν δεν...Πόσα στερήθηκε, αλήθεια, αυτό το σκυλί… Ένα εργαλείο ήταν και τίποτα παραπάνω. Ένα αλυσοδεμένο δυστυχισμένο πλάσμα. Η ζωή της, όμως, άλλαξε. Πλέον είναι ασφαλής στην Φάρμα Βρούβα, απαλλάχθηκε από την αλυσίδα τεντώνοντας τα πονεμένα πόδια της και κάνοντας φίλους για πρώτη φορά στη ζωή της. Της δόθηκε επιτέλους μια ευκαιρία στην ευτυχία κι εκείνη την άρπαξε χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη και χωρίς να κοιτάξει πίσω της! Είμαστε έκπληκτοι από το πόσο γλυκιά και συνεργάσιμη είναι και από το πόσο καλά συμπεριφέρεται. Όλα ήταν καινούργια για αυτήν και όμως μας κοιτάει με τα μεγάλα ευγενικά της μάτια με λατρεία και αφοσίωση και κουνάει την ουρά. Είναι μια σκυλίτσα εξαιρετικής καλοσύνης και υπέροχου χαρακτήρα, λατρεύει τους ανθρώπους και το δείχνει με κάθε τρόπο, παρά τα όσα έχει περάσει. Διεκδικεί χάδια και είναι πολύ τρυφερή και δοτική. Οι κακουχίες που πέρασε δεν άγγιξαν την ψυχούλα της. Είναι μεγαλόσωμη, μα με καρδιά κουταβιού. Είναι μαύρη, μα η καρδούλα της είναι ολόλευκη και μαλαματένια και διψά τόσο πολύ για αγάπη και ένα όμορφο σπιτικό. Είμαστε σίγουροι ότι υπάρχει κάποιος που θα ανοίξει την καρδιά του και το σπίτι του σ´αυτήν την υπέροχη σκυλίτσα. Η διάσωση της Μπέλλας από τα δεσμά της ήταν ένα θαύμα! Χρειάστηκε κόπο, προσπάθεια και υποστήριξη από μια ολόκληρη κοινότητα ανθρώπων, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Βάσως, της Ελένης και των υποστηρικτών τους, της Lynda Thomson, της Lyn και των Φίλων των Αδέσποτων της Ελλάδας και της ομάδας της Βρούβας. Είναι περίπου 6 ετών, στειρωμένη, όλες οι εξετάσεις αίματος της είναι τέλειες, οπότε τώρα το τελευταίο βήμα της Οδύσσειας της είναι να της βρούμε μια στοργική οικογένεια. Η Μπέλλα μας αναζητά καρτερικά τον άνθρωπό της.

About Mpella (Μπέλλα)

What life with Mpella (Μπέλλα) looks like

Mpella (Μπέλλα) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

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.
