How do I contact the shelter about Nestor?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Gouves Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nestor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nestor if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gouves Shelter 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 Nestor 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 Nestor 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 Gouves Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nestor 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.

NestorBASIC CARENEUTERINGBLOOD TESTSMEDICAL COSTS Unfortunately I have leishmaniasis, so I need a pill per day and regular blood test to stay healthy.My Hero for a sick animal is Alex Osvald. Thank you so much!Ask moreReady for a new lifeHi, I am NestorMy sponsor is Sonja Ramseyer&My story like so many other dogs here is quite rough. I was found on the streets, skinny and weak. I had lost almost all of my hair and looked like a walking corpse. Fortunately these kind people took me to the vet to see what's wrong. And it turned out that I had leishmaniasis. A long recovery period started here at the shelter, and fortunately I found a foster home that soon took me in to avoid additional stress of the shelter.I have been at the shelter for quite some time now and I am doing good. My hair is now all grown back as gorgeous as before and I have put on some extra pounds. Because I have lived in foster homes I already know how to behave in a home. I have a really easy-going and nice temper. I just love everyone, people, dogs and cats and want to show my appreciation for being healthy again. I still need daily medication and regular check ups at the vet but that is a small price to pay for feeling this good.I have come such a long way and proved that I am a little fighter. But I do hope that my fighting days are over, and I could spend the rest of my life sleeping in a warm bed next to someone to love.

About Nestor

What life with Nestor looks like

Nestor is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Gouves Shelter in Heraklion.

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.

Note from the shelter: Leishmaniasis - requires daily medication and regular veterinary check-ups

🇬🇷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.
