How do I contact the shelter about Myrto?

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

Can I adopt Myrto 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 Myrto 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 Myrto 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 Myrto 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.

Myrto

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

We finally saw her smile and some signs of confidence in her. Myrto participates in the educational program in the rural women's prison of Thebes, where some prisoners, with the help of the trainer Vassilis Bokaris 's balance, learn to train some of our dogs that live there, and to give them the tools to adapt to their forever home much easier. Myrto has made leaps and bounds lately, and we are very proud of her. She walks very well on a leash, she has learned to toilet on her walk, she has opened up quite a bit and no longer hides when she sees strangers, but she tries to communicate, and slowly she has started to receive some caresses. She has started to have a good reset and when she hears her name she comes, and she learned her first command, sit down! All of this may seem simple, but for a dog like her, it's a huge step. We brought her a puppy from the municipal kennel of Tripolis. She was a very phobic baby, and she remained hesitant and very closed in the shelter. Nowhere did she seem to feel comfortable and she was never calm with the presence of people close to her. It is now on an extremely good track, and adapting it to a forever home will be much easier. With the very good foundations she now has, she will be able to triumph in her new home over time, since she has now acquired ways of communicating with people, knows basic things and has begun to learn how to communicate with the person she trusts without having to imitate other dogs around her. The few times she's carefree she runs like a deer, and we can imagine how many things she would have enjoyed already if her life hadn't started so wrong. But she is very young, and she has her whole life ahead of her to triumph. Her new family will have all the help and advice she needs from us.

About Myrto

What life with Myrto looks like

Myrto 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.
