Adopt Roco

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 3 years

We should have called him Foxy with that rich red fur… but he is Rocco ❤️ For the City, he was a microchip number. For 3 years, he only saw concrete and cages. But 2 months ago, he saw a kind nurse, Marianella Salapata, and his luck changed‼️ Rocco learned what a bolt, harness, name, and family mean. He has the sweetest gaze 🥀✨ 4+ years old ✨ He walks on a leash like a pro ✨ Calm, sweet, "candy-like" ✨ He gets along with other dogs He doesn't want to be a microchip in a crate again ‼️ He's looking for his human. A corner on the couch. A forever promise. He is Rocco. He is ready. Share this — you could be his family. 🐾 Check out our page on Facebook:

Έπρεπε να τον λέγαμε FOXY με αυτή την πλούσια κόκκινη γούνα… αλλά είναι ο Ρόκο ❤️ Για τον Δήμο ήταν ένας αριθμός microchip. Για 3 χρόνια έβλεπε μόνο τσιμέντο και κάγκελα. Πριν 2 μήνες όμως τον είδε μια καλή νεράιδα, η Marianella Salapata και άλλαξε η τύχη του‼️ Ο Ρόκο έμαθε τι σημαίνει βολτα, χάδι, όνομα, οικογένεια. Έχει το πιο γλυκό βλέμμα🥀 ✨ 4+ ετών ✨ Περπατάει άψογα με λουρί ✨ Ήρεμος, γλυκός, «ζαχαρένιος» ✨ Συμβιώνει με άλλα σκυλιά Δεν θέλει να ξαναγίνει ένας αριθμός τσιπ σε ένα κλουβί ‼️ Ψάχνει τον άνθρωπό του. Μια γωνιά σε καναπέ. Μια υπόσχεση παντοτινή. Είναι ο Ρόκο. Είναι έτοιμος. Κάνε μια κοινοποίηση — μπορεί να γίνεις εσύ η οικογένειά του. 🐾 Επισκεφτειτε και την σελιδα μας στο facebook :

About Roco

What life with Roco looks like

Roco is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

An 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.

🇬🇷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 Roco, answered.

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