Adopt Olivia

Mixed Breed · Male

Olivia has been with us at the shelter for years. A mixed breed dog with a patch of terrier. She is medium sized, weighs about 15 kilograms and is about 10 years old. Our Olivia allows us to pet her, but at first she is shy with strangers. She gets along well with other dogs, but sometimes tries to be the boss. We would like to find Olivia a home as a solitary dog or with a confident male dog. Whoever opens the door for Olivia will have a loyal companion once she settles into her new home. Born in 2016 45-50 centimeters and 15 kilograms With chip, vaccinated and spayed.

Olivia είναι μαζί μας στο καταφύγιο εδώ και χρόνια. Μια κυρία μικτής ράτσας με μια πινελιά τεριέ. Είναι μεσαίου μεγέθους, ζυγίζει περίπου 15 κιλά και είναι περίπου 10 ετών. Η Ολίβια μας αφήνει να τη χαϊδέψουμε, αλλά στην αρχή είναι ντροπαλή με τους ξένους. Τα πάει καλά με τα άλλα σκυλιά, αλλά μερικές φορές προσπαθεί να γίνει το αφεντικό. Θα θέλαμε να βρούμε για την Ολίβια ένα σπίτι ως μοναχικό σκυλί ή με ένα αρσενικό σκυλί με αυτοπεποίθηση. Όποιος ανοίξει την πόρτα του στην Ολίβια, θα έχει έναν πιστό σύντροφο μόλις εγκατασταθεί στο νέο της σπίτι. Γεννήθηκε το 2016 45-50 εκατοστά και 15 κιλά Με τσιπ, εμβολιασμένη και στειρωμένη.

About Olivia

What life with Olivia looks like

Olivia is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Filozoiki Aridaias i Elpida in Aridaia.

An 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Olivia, answered.

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