Sam

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Update 9.12.2025: Sam was found on the streets and brought to us a couple of months ago. He is a funny young dog who shines not only because of his look, but also because of his wonderful personality❤️ Yet, no one has shown any interest in him so far. Sam absolutely loves people and enjoys every bit of attention and affection he can get. He would thrive in an active household. He’s smart, eager to learn and food-motivated. He is a mixed-breed hunting dog, so he might have a natural prey drive. Sam is super social and loves his playtime with his best friend Padmé just as much as a nap afterwards in the sun☀️ He truly is the perfect mix, and we hope that he will find his forever home soon. His story: A dashing 1-year-old beauty who was recently picked up from the streets. He is vaccinated and is already castrated. Sam is ready for you to give him a home He’s medium-size and weighs around 20kg. Sam is one of a kind, this sweet boy loves nothing more than making people happy and soaking up attention. He’s full of joyful energy and eager to learn. He’s smart and has a will to please. Ready for adventures with Sam? Fill out the adoption application and make him part of your story!

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Souda Shelter in Chania.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: May have natural prey drive due to hunting dog heritage

🇬🇷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 Sam, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sam?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Souda Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sam on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sam if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Souda Shelter 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 Sam 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 Sam 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 Souda Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sam 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 (EN). 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.
