Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

This is the lovely Pinelos! Pinelos was in a litter of 3 puppies. This litter was found in a tied-up bag in the trash can. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence in Greece. A passerby took the bag and pulled the puppies out and called the police to have them picked up. A volunteer took the litter under her care. Since then, they have been living in a foster home. Pinelos needs some time to trust new people. Pinelos is an affectionate little guy. He is smaller compared to the other puppies in the litter. Pinelos is very playful. Pinelos adapted quickly to his new environment and to walking on a leash. Pinelos' brothers are Romeo and Mufasa. Pinelos responds well to other dogs. It is unknown how Pinelos responds to cats. This will need to be tested. Pinelos responds well to children. Currently, Pinelos weighs 4.5 kilograms. It is expected that he will weigh between 13 and 15 kilograms. Currently, Pinelos is 28 centimeters tall. These are only estimates. It may differ slightly. Due to his young age, Pinelos will be allowed to travel from the end of January 2025.

Dit is de mooie Pinelos! Pinelos zat in een nestje van 3 pups. Dit nestje is gevonden in een dichtgebonden tas in de vuilnisbak. Dit komt helaas veel voor in Griekenland. Een voorbijganger nam de tas mee en haalde de puppy’s eruit en belde de politie om ze op te laten halen. Een vrijwilligster nam het nestje onder haar hoede. Sindsdien wonen ze in een gastgezin. Pinelos heeft wat tijd nodig om nieuwe mensen te vertrouwen. Pinelos is een aanhankelijk kereltje. Hij is wat kleiner vergeleken met de andere pups uit het nestje. Pinelos is erg speels. Pinelos paste zich snel aan, aan zijn nieuwe omgeving en aan het lopen aan de riem. De broertjes van Pinelos zijn Romeo en Mufasa. Tegenover andere honden reageert Pinelos goed. Het is onbekend hoe Pinelos op katten reageert. Dit zal uitgetest moeten worden. Tegenover kinderen reageert Pinelos goed. Momenteel weegt Pinelos 4,5 kilo. De verwachting is dat hij tussen de 13 en 15 kilo zal gaan wegen. Momenteel is Pinelos 28 centimeter hoog. Dit zijn slechts schattingen. Het kan iets afwijken. Pinelos zal in verband met zijn jonge leeftijd mogen reizen vanaf eind januari 2025.

About Pinelos

What life with Pinelos looks like

Pinelos is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mirtos Animal Project in Netherlands.

A 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Many animals are sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pinelos, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pinelos?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Mirtos Animal Project handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pinelos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pinelos if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Mirtos Animal Project whether they will for Pinelos, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pinelos already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Mirtos Animal Project lists Pinelos as not yet neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Mirtos Animal Project, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pinelos isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Mirtos Animal Project about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pinelos 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
