I am a lucky prize for a sweet family out there or someone who needs a loving dog. I am 1,5 years old and was saved from the streets by these very kind people. I then came into the shelter with lots of new friends to play with. I love to run around in the play field with the other doggies, everyone is very nice to me. But I would love a person or a family to call my own, cause thats where I fit the best. I love cuddling with the humans and giving them lots of kisses. As far as I know I am a healthy boy, and a very good boy. The humans always laugh at me when I run around with the other dogs. Apperently I am very funny. But I don't mind, I like seeing them laugh, I like being loved. Can you give me a warm bed and love me too??Want to help ​Sir HenrySponsorBecome a sponsor an guarantee that their daily needs like food and parasite treatment is covered.

About Sir Henry

What life with Sir Henry looks like

Sir Henry is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Gouves Shelter in Heraklion.

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.

🇬🇷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 Sir Henry, answered.

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