Poldi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

UNSURE, COMPATIBLE, RETICENT TOWARD HUMANS. In December 2022, a call for help came from Kilkis, which is 1 1/2 hours away. We have already taken in emergencies from there on several occasions. This time it was Poldi and Paula. Poldi was in a bad health condition and due to untreated leishmaniasis, a typical "glasses" effect had formed around his eyes. The blood test confirmed leishmaniasis and he was treated. Today, there is no sign of it anymore and Poldi has become strong again thanks to the medication. He shares a enclosure with Paula. He is initially unsure toward humans and wants to bark at everything. So he must have learned this over the years as a way to protect himself in order to survive. His experiences probably were not good or pleasant. They are all vaccinated, microchipped and have an EU passport. They are checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our homepage. Every dog that is placed makes room for one of those dogs that have to live in hunger and emaciation.

unsicher, verträglich, Menschen gegenüber zurückhaltend Im Dezember 2022 kam ein Hilferuf aus dem 1 1/2 Stunden entfernten Kilkis.Schon öfter haben wir von dort Notfälle aufgenommen. Diesmal waren es Poldi und Paula. Poldi war in einem schlimmen gesundheitlichen Zustand und durch die unbehandelte Leishmaniose hatte sich die typische Brille um seine Augen gebildet. Der Blutcheck bestätigte die Leishmaniose und er wurde behandelt. Heute ist davon nichts mehr zu sehen und Poldi ist dank der Medikamente wieder kräftig geworden. Mit Paula teilt er sich ein Gehege. Er ist Menschen gegenüber immer erst unsicher und möchte alles verbellen. So wird er es über Jahre gelernt haben und war sein Schutz um zu überleben. Seine Erfahrungen werden nicht gut und schön gewesen sein. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Poldi

What life with Poldi looks like

Poldi is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

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 Poldi, answered.

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