Adopt Rice

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Rice 5 months will reach about 30 kg Rice is a very clever and cuddly puppy who easily ties up with his people. He likes game, contact and company, as he shows daily how quickly he learns. He has already made very good progress with the bathroom on the ride and learns the diaper, which shows how cooperative and willing he is. But he's still at the age he knows the world and that sometimes makes him cautious. On the ride he may hesitate or be afraid, as everything is new to him. With patience, stability and guidance, he will learn to feel safe. Rice needs a man who will show him, step by step, that the world is not scary but full of beautiful experiences. And then he'll become a wonderful, balanced dog. He's chipped, vaccinated and desanguinated. If you're ready to be his man, ask us: Share the post if you cannot adopt – maybe one of your friends can!

Rice 5 μηνών θα φτάσει περίπου 30 κιλά Ο Rice είναι ένα πολύ έξυπνο και χαδιάρικο κουτάβι που δένεται εύκολα με τους ανθρώπους του. Του αρέσει το παιχνίδι, η επαφή και η παρέα, καθώς δείχνει καθημερινά πόσο γρήγορα μαθαίνει. Έχει ήδη κάνει πολύ καλή πρόοδο με την τουαλέτα στη βόλτα και μαθαίνει και την πάνα, κάτι που δείχνει πόσο συνεργάσιμος και πρόθυμος είναι. Είναι όμως ακόμα στην ηλικία που γνωρίζει τον κόσμο και αυτό τον κάνει κάποιες φορές επιφυλακτικό. Στη βόλτα μπορεί να διστάζει ή να φοβάται, καθώς όλα είναι καινούρια για εκείνον. Με υπομονή, σταθερότητα και καθοδήγηση, θα μάθει να νιώθει ασφάλεια. Ο Rice χρειάζεται έναν άνθρωπο που θα του δείξει, βήμα-βήμα, ότι ο κόσμος δεν είναι τρομακτικός αλλά γεμάτος όμορφες εμπειρίες. Και τότε θα γίνει ένας υπέροχος, ισορροπημένος σκύλος. Είναι τσιπαρισμένος, εμβολιασμένος και αποπαρασιτωμένος. Αν είσαι έτοιμος να γίνεις ο άνθρωπος του, κανε μας αιτηση: Μοιράσου το post αν δεν μπορείς να υιοθετήσεις – ίσως κάποιος από τους φίλους σου μπορεί!

About Rice

What life with Rice looks like

Rice is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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 Rice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rice?
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 Rice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rice 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 Rice 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 Rice 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 Rice 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.
