rice

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

**Rice – Foster Care / Adoption +_ 9 months, 24 kg. He’ll likely reach around 30 kg. Rice is a beautiful, incredibly intelligent, and very affectionate puppy who forms deep bonds with the people in his life. He loves cuddles, playtime, and generally everything that a puppy growing up surrounded by love and care could possibly adore. 🫂 At home, he’s cooperative, learns quickly, and shows daily just how trainable he is. He’s already learned to relieve himself on walks and continues to make impressive progress when consistency and guidance are provided. Rice is a dog who is strongly affected by unfamiliar visual and auditory stimuli. He often barks when he hears noises or detects other dogs nearby—especially when he can’t quite figure out what’s going on. If the stimulus stops, he usually calms down relatively quickly. However, when it comes to interacting with another dog that responds to his barking, he finds it harder to relax. In the environment where he’s currently fostered and with the systematic work being done with him, the progress he’s made is truly remarkable. Still, every change of environment temporarily brings about setbacks—a perfectly expected reaction for a dog with his sensitivities. That’s why we’re looking for someone who isn’t seeking a “ready-made” dog, but rather a companion. Someone who will continue—with patience, persistence, and commitment—the work that’s already underway, so that Rice can fully realize his wonderful potential. Because behind this sensitivity lies a dog who is sweet, tender, eager to learn, and absolutely delightful on walks. He’s not one of those dogs who’ll overwhelm you with their strength or constantly seek attention. He’s a little doll with a big heart who simply needs the right person by his side. ✔ Vaccinated ✔ Microchipped If you’re the right match, get in touch:

**Rice – Φιλοξενία / Υιοθεσία +_ 9 μηνών, 24 κιλά Θα φτάσει περίπου τα 30 κιλά Ο Rice είναι ένα πανέμορφο, πανέξυπνο και πολύ τρυφερό κουτάβι που δένεται βαθιά με τους ανθρώπους του. Λατρεύει τα χάδια, τα παιχνίδια και γενικά όλα όσα αγαπά ένα κουτάβι που μεγαλώνει μέσα σε αγάπη και φροντίδα. 🫂 Στο σπίτι είναι συνεργάσιμος, μαθαίνει γρήγορα και δείχνει καθημερινά πόσο εκπαιδεύσιμος είναι. Έχει μάθει την τουαλέτα στη βόλτα και συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται εντυπωσιακά όταν υπάρχει συνέπεια και καθοδήγηση. Ο Rice είναι ένας σκύλος που επηρεάζεται έντονα από άγνωστα οπτικά και ακουστικά ερεθίσματα. Συχνά γαβγίζει όταν ακούει θορύβους ή αντιλαμβάνεται άλλα σκυλιά γύρω του, ιδιαίτερα όταν δεν μπορεί να καταλάβει τι συμβαίνει. Αν το ερέθισμα σταματήσει, συνήθως ηρεμεί σχετικά γρήγορα. Όταν όμως πρόκειται για αλληλεπίδραση με άλλο σκύλο που ανταποκρίνεται στο γάβγισμά του, δυσκολεύεται περισσότερο να αποφορτιστεί. Στο περιβάλλον όπου φιλοξενείται σήμερα και με τη συστηματική δουλειά που γίνεται μαζί του, η πρόοδος που έχει σημειώσει είναι πραγματικά εντυπωσιακή. Ωστόσο, σε κάθε αλλαγή περιβάλλοντος εμφανίζει προσωρινά πισωγυρίσματα, κάτι απολύτως αναμενόμενο για έναν σκύλο με τις δικές του ευαισθησίες. Για αυτό αναζητάμε έναν άνθρωπο που δεν ψάχνει έναν "έτοιμο" σκύλο, αλλά έναν συνοδοιπόρο. Κάποιον που θα συνεχίσει με υπομονή, επιμονή και δέσμευση τη δουλειά που γίνεται ήδη, ώστε ο Rice να μπορέσει να ξεδιπλώσει όλο το υπέροχο δυναμικό του. Γιατί πίσω από αυτή την ευαισθησία κρύβεται ένας σκύλος γλυκός, τρυφερός, δεκτικός στην εκπαίδευση και εξαιρετικός στις βόλτες του. Δεν είναι από τα σκυλιά που θα σε παρασύρουν με τη δύναμή τους ή θα ψάχνουν συνεχώς φασαρία. Είναι ένας κούκλος με μεγάλη καρδιά που απλώς χρειάζεται τον σωστό άνθρωπο δίπλα του. ✔ Εμβολιασμένος ✔ Τσιπαρισμενος Εαν εισαι ο άνθρωπος του, επικοινώνησε:

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.
