Philia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Philia is one of 10 puppies that were found with their mother in the fields. Just starting the harvest there, an animal welfare worker was afraid that the agricultural machines would certainly show no mercy. Thus, these puppies were collected and brought to an animal shelter we are friends with. However, they could not stay there due to lack of space, as Greece currently needs to accommodate an especially large number of puppies. So, Aliki was asked for help and has also taken on these ten cute boys and girls. The puppy basics are already mastered by these puppies, but who would like to help them understand human language?

Philia ist eine von 10 Welpen, die mit ihrer Mutter in den Feldern gefunden wurden. Dort waren gerade die Erntearbeiten angefangen und ein Tierschützer hatte Angst vor den landwirtschaftlichen Maschinen, die sicherlich kein Pardon kennen. Damit diese Welpen also nicht verletzt oder gar getötet wurden, sind sie eingesammelt worden und zu einem mit uns befreundeten Tierheim gebracht worden. Dort allerdings konnten sie nicht bleiben, platztechnisch dort unmöglich, da aktuell in Griechenland besonders viele Welpen versorgt werden müssen. So ist Aliki um Hilfe gebeten worden und hat auch diese zehn hübschen Jungs und Mädels übernommen. Das Hunde Einmaleins beherrschen diese Welpen bereits, wer aber möchte ihnen mit dem Verstehen der menschlichen Sprache helfen? Bitte beachten Sie allerdings, bevor Sie eine Anfrage stellen, unsere Informationsseiten zu Gedanken zu einer Adoption! Video1 Die

About Philia

What life with Philia looks like

Philia is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Griechenland e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Philia, answered.

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