Adopt Oscar

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Update 31.1.2026: Here's a new photo of Oscar. His story: Oscar is a handsome boy. See how happy he is now. What a smile! Oscar was abandoned in front of our shelter and we can only assume that the reason for it was that a lack of structure and boundaries in his life made him assume that snapping at people is an acceptable way to avoid uncomfortable situations. We can tell what a wonderful, playful, funny, young dog Oscar is and seeing him in the shelter makes us so very sad, because with some loving but consequent training his life could have been totally different. Oscar is a very sporty guy, he would be a great companion for some agility or dog sport or long hikes. He´s very smart and learns quickly, the good and the bad behavior. With other dogs, males and females, Oscar gets along great. For the above mentioned reasons he can only go to a home without children and to an experienced handler.

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Souda Shelter in Chania.

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.

Note from the shelter: History of snapping behavior requiring consistent training and boundaries

🇬🇷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 Oscar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Oscar?
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 Oscar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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.
