Adopt Pappous

Mixed Breed · Male

Pappous is, as his name suggests, an elderly male dog. Over 10 years old. His owner threw him on the street and that's how he came to us. He is just 30-35 centimeters tall and is a bit overly chubby. He wouldn't have survived much longer on the street. We are looking for a place where he can enjoy the rest of his life and not die in our shelter. He doesn't need much. Just a warm place and good food.

Read original (el)

Pappous είναι, όπως υποδηλώνει το όνομά του, ένας ηλικιωμένος αρσενικός σκύλος. Πάνω από 10 ετών. Τον πέταξε στο δρόμο ο ιδιοκτήτης του και έτσι ήρθε σε εμάς. Έχει ύψος μόλις 30-35 εκατοστά και είναι λίγο υπερβολικά παχύς. Δεν θα είχε επιβιώσει για πολύ στο δρόμο. Ψάχνουμε για ένα μέρος όπου θα μπορεί να απολαύσει το υπόλοιπο της ζωής του και όχι να πεθάνει στο καταφύγιο μας. Δεν χρειάζεται πολλά πράγματα. Μόνο ένα ζεστό μέρος και καλό φαγητό. Με τσιπ, εμβολιασμένο Γεννήθηκε γύρω στο 2013/2014 35 εκατοστά και 12 κιλά

About Pappous

What life with Pappous looks like

Pappous 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 Pappous, answered.

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