Pina

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Pina was abandoned as a very young puppy in a mountain village where a pack of other dogs was already roaming around; unfortunately, she was never really accepted by them.Naturally shy by nature, this difficult situation made it even harder for her to gain trust. She spent most of her time hiding, so the volunteers from Miao rarely saw her, which made it very difficult for them to make contact with this special little dog.In the autumn, three years later, a small team finally managed to catch Pina. Her condition was alarming — she was extremely thin and completely exhausted.Since then, she has been safe, living in a group with four other dogs who accept her. With them, and with very patient helpers, Pina is taking small steps toward a better life. She has now become very playful, much braver with the other dogs, and also with us humans. She walks wonderfully on a leash, enjoys long walks, is already used to riding in the car, and no longer gets too scared in unfamiliar surroundings.Of course, there is still much for her to learn, but together with her friends it is much easier for her to follow her curiosity and embrace new experiences. Pina will always remain a bit reserved with unfamiliar people, but she has learned that routine and, above all, loving care protect her and that she can rely on her humans.Despite her size, she never shows dominant behavior or aggression. She has a gentle and friendly nature and always tries to fit in carefully. We are very happy that she has now become curious and more confident even with dogs she does not know.We will continue to support and encourage her as much as we can. Her development is something very special to us, and we are extremely proud of her! Of course, it would be so much better if we could find her very own person — someone who will stand by her and stay with her. She, Pina, is ready for it!

About Pina

What life with Pina looks like

Pina is a small adult dog waiting at Φιλοζωική Ομάδα Μάνης (ΦΟΜ Μιάο) in Stoupa (West Mani).

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 Pina, answered.

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