Popi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

The last couple of days we had been in contact with a good person about a mom and four babies (three newborn and one from her previous litter). They were in the Hellenic Navy base which is usually quite safe just that the mom was categorized as aggressive. This might have been so, lots of children, bicycles, etc. and she, protecting her nest. So we had to get her out of there. She was in danger. This morning Olivia and I set out to get the momma and her little newborns. The older sibling has a home. The woman who cared for them all will keep him. She named him Michael. It was tough! Momma had them hidden in super thick brush. She, herself, would not come near us, even after we took her babies hostage. After much time she was caught. World welcome Momma Popi, Chubb Rock, Fat Joe and Heavy D.

About Popi

What life with Popi looks like

Popi is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Souda Shelter in Chania.

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.

Note from the shelter: New mother with newborn puppies, was previously categorized as aggressive likely due to protecting her nest

🇬🇷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 Popi, answered.

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