Palermo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Gender: male Birthday: July 2024 Castrated/Neutered: yes Weight: 16,5 kg Back story: Palermo was abandoned together with his siblings Denver, Tokio, Rio and Nairobi at the end of 2024. Description/Updates/Pictures: Update July 2026: Update April 2026: Palermo has grown into a stunning young adult. He’s already 1 1/2 years old, weighs 16kg and is castrated. Palermo used to be shy around people but now he really enjoys attention and cuddles. Update February 2025: Look at that face! Who’s that cutie pie, you ask? It’s Palermo, one of the bully babies still waiting for his forever family! Just like his brothers, Palermo loves playing with all his buddies. Even though he’s the smallest in his gang, you can be sure he’ll always be in the middle of the action. Such a playful, social boy! Sweet Palermo can be a little cautious around strangers, but once he feels comfortable, he turns into the cuddliest lovebug. Seriously—you just have to love him! Just look at that little scrubby beard that makes him look so wise. Palermo is almost six months old now and more than ready to come home! He will grow into a medium-sized boy. Dogs like him and his siblings often have trouble finding a loving home, and it would absolutely break our hearts to see him grow up and grow old here. Update December 2024: Are you ready for some puppy love? These five cuties are our latest addition, and they’ve already stolen our hearts! Meet the money heist gang: DENVER (boy), RIO (boy), PALERMO (boy), TOKYO (girl) and NAIROBI (girl). Almost a month after being abandoned, they‘ve learned to love and trust people again. They love their warm blankets (especially now that it’s getting colder), to play and to cuddle. Let’s make sure Denver, Rio, Palermo, Tokyo and Nairobi don’t grow up in the shelter! The first winter is always tough for these little ones, so maybe they can spend it in the warmth of a loving home?! Give one of these beautiful bully mixes a chance – they deserve it.

About Palermo

What life with Palermo looks like

Palermo 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.

🇬🇷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 Palermo, answered.

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