Rice

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Rice - Foster/Adoption 8 months old, 24 kg He will reach approximately 30 kg Rice is a beautiful, intelligent and very affectionate puppy who bonds deeply with his people. He loves cuddles, games, chew toys, belly rubs and everything that a puppy raised in love and care enjoys. At home he is cooperative, learns quickly and shows daily how trainable he is. He has already made great progress with toilet training on walks and continues to evolve impressively when there is consistency and guidance. However, we want to be absolutely honest for him to find the right home. Rice is a dog who is strongly affected by unfamiliar visual and auditory stimuli. He often barks when he hears noises or perceives other dogs around him, especially when he can't understand what's happening. 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 unwind. The important thing is that Rice is not a dog who cannot improve. On the contrary. In the environment where he is currently hosted and with the systematic work done with him, the progress he has made is truly impressive. He has proven that he learns quickly, adapts and can evolve significantly when someone invests time and consistency in him. However, in any change of environment, he temporarily shows setbacks, something completely expected for a dog with his sensitivities. That's why we are looking for a person who is not looking for a "ready" dog, but a companion. Someone who will continue the work already being done with patience, perseverance and commitment so that Rice can unfold all his wonderful potential. Because behind this sensitivity lies a sweet, obedient, affectionate, very receptive to training and excellent in his walks dog. He is not one of those dogs that will drag you along with their strength or constantly seek noise. He is a cuddly dog with a big heart who just needs the right person by his side.

Maybe the person Rice is waiting for is one sharing away.

Rice – Φιλοξενία / Υιοθεσία 8 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, τα μασητικά, τα belly rubs 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 ήδη κάνει πολύ καλή πρόοδο με την τουαλέτα στη βόλτα και συνεχίζει να εξελίσσεται εντυπωσιακά όταν υπάρχει συνέπεια και καθοδήγηση. Θέλουμε όμως να είμαστε απόλυτα ειλικρινείς για να βρεθεί το σωστό σπίτι για εκείνον. 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. Το σημαντικό είναι ότι ο Rice δεν είναι ένας σκύλος που δεν μπορεί να βελτιωθεί. Αντιθέτως. Στο περιβάλλον όπου φιλοξενείται σήμερα και με τη συστηματική δουλειά που γίνεται μαζί του, η πρόοδος που έχει σημειώσει είναι πραγματικά εντυπωσιακή. Έχει αποδείξει ότι μαθαίνει γρήγορα, προσαρμόζεται και μπορεί να εξελιχθεί σημαντικά όταν κάποιος επενδύσει χρόνο και συνέπεια πάνω του. Ωστόσο, σε κάθε αλλαγή περιβάλλοντος εμφανίζει προσωρινά πισωγυρίσματα, κάτι απολύτως αναμενόμενο για έναν σκύλο με τις δικές του ευαισθησίες. Για αυτό αναζητούμε 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, υπάκουος, τρυφερός, πολύ 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. Τσιπαρισμένος Εμβολιασμένος Αποπαρασιτωμένος Αν πιστεύεις ότι μπορείς να γίνεις ο άνθρωπός του ή να τον φιλοξενήσεις μέχρι να βρει το παντοτινό του σπίτι, συμπλήρωσε μας την φόρμα Κοινοποίησε την αγγελία. Ίσως ο άνθρωπος που περιμένει ο Rice να βρίσκεται μία κοινοποίηση μακριά.

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.
