How do I contact the shelter about Poppy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Voice handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Poppy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Poppy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Voice 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 Poppy 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 Poppy 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 Dogs Voice early rather than rehoming privately; they know Poppy 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 (EL). 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.

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 3 years

Poppy Sweet little Poppy is wonderful, but she hides it; she doesn’t know how to show it. You see, she’s shy and reserved, definitely a bit scared too. She’s not the type of dog that will come running to greet you. Instead, she’ll wait hesitantly in her corner. She might let you pet her, or she might not. The little one is 3-4 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and weighs around 12 kilos. She’s a little bud that hasn’t bloomed yet because no one has chosen her so far. Poppy needs a person with patience who will give her the time and love she needs to trust and overcome her fears. Gradually, the walls will come down, and all the wonderful qualities hidden behind them will start to emerge—timidly at first, but then with growing confidence. And when that happens, Poppy will become what she has always been deep inside. There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing a fearful dog come out of their shell and transform into a happy creature with a wagging tail and eyes full of love. Give Poppy, this little poppy flower, a chance to bloom and adore you. If you are interested in adoption please fill in our form:

Poppy Η γλυκούλα Poppy είναι υπέροχη, αλλά το κρύβει, δεν ξέρει πως να το δείξει. Βλέπετε είναι ντροπαλή και συνεσταλμένη, σίγουρα και λίγο φοβισμένη. Δεν είναι από τα σκυλάκια που θα έρθουν καταπάνω σου να σε χαιρετήσουν. Θα περιμένει διστακτική στη γωνιά της. Ίσως σε αφήσει να τη χαϊδέψεις, ίσως και όχι. Η μικρούλα είναι 3-4 ετών στειρωμένη, εμβολιασμένη και γύρω στα 12 κιλά. Είναι ένα μπουμπουκάκι που δεν έχει ανθίσει ακόμα, καθώς δεν την έχει διαλέξει κανείς ως τώρα. Η Poppy χρειάζεται έναν άνθρωπο με υπομονή, που θα της δώσει τον χρόνο και την αγάπη που έχει ανάγκη έτσι ώστε να εμπιστευτεί και να ξεπεράσει τις φοβίες της. Και σιγά σιγά τα τείχη θα πέσουν και όλο αυτό το υπέροχο πλάσμα που κρύβεται πίσω από αυτά θα ξεπροβάλει δειλά δειλά στην αρχή και μετά με μεγαλύτερη αυτοπεποίθηση. Και τότε η Poppy θα γίνει αυτό που πάντα ήταν και το έκρυβε μέσα της. Και δεν υπάρχει τίποτα πιο όμορφο από αυτό: ένα φοβικό σκυλάκι να βγαίνει από το καβούκι του και να μεταμορφώνεται σε ένα χαρούμενο πλάσμα με κουνιστή ουρά και βλέμμα λατρείας. Δώσε μια ευκαιρία στην Poppy, την μικρή παπαρουνίτσα, να ανθίσει και να σε λατρέψει.
