Onigiri

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 3 months

Update 17.3.2026: Onigiri is enjoying the company of other dogs. She is well socialized. Here with Shari. Update 3.2.2026: A truly special little girl! Onigiri was rescued from the streets together with her mother and siblings. From the very beginning, she stood out- the only one with white fur and the smallest of the litter. At just 5.5 kg right now, she’s a tiny little rice grain, which inspired her sweet name. Onigiri didn’t have the easiest start in life. She struggled with parasites early on and needed some extra care and time to regain her strength. After a few days of loving care and rest, she was strong enough to be reunited with her siblings and momma. Onigiri is truly one of a kind- bright, loving, and full of life in a way that’s hard to put into words. She is playful and curious when exploring new things. At 4 months of age, Onigiri is ready to find a forever home where her special heart will be cherished and loved. An outstanding puppy with an indescribable soul, waiting for someone who can offer her the best future Her story: Welcome Bomba, Onigiri, Shari, Riso, Padi, Basmati and Maki. Do you know the drama story of their young life and how the Souda Shelter could bring it to a positive end? ? We introduce to you the pups we recently took in, the beautiful babies with their momma from the field. They are so precious. The benefit of having them together and with their mom is great! What makes a solid, stable mental development is having the family unit together during this crucial, young age.

About Onigiri

What life with Onigiri looks like

Onigiri is a very small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Souda Shelter in Chania.

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: Recovered from early parasite issues, now healthy

🇬🇷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 Onigiri, answered.

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