How do I contact the shelter about Tai?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Save a Greek Stray handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tai on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tai if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Save a Greek Stray 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 Tai 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 Tai 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 Save a Greek Stray early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tai 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.

Tai

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

We found Tai after he had been hit by a car. One of his legs was in very bad condition—so bad that we believed it wouldn’t be saved. With a lot of care and patience, however, his leg was eventually saved. His skin healed, his body closed its wounds, and today you can’t even tell that he was ever injured. At first, he was very frightened. Everything scared him; he didn’t trust anything or anyone. When he recovered and came to the shelter, he slowly began to open up. Today, Tai is still fearful—but he functions. He may seem a little difficult at first, but in reality, he is a good and gentle dog who simply needs time. He is just cautious, and that caution softens once he feels safe. He won’t come up to greet you, nor will he approach you comfortably. He will watch you, trying to understand what’s going on and who you are. He is jet black, with four paws that look as if they’ve been dipped in fresh white paint. He has a thin white line starting from his chin, like a gray little beard, continuing down to his chest, and two perfectly round eyes that don’t express sadness, but curiosity. Other than that, Tai is not particularly remarkable. And yet, we love him very much. And when you are loved, you become special. You become important—unique. Tai is a good dog. He has all the qualities needed to become an exceptional companion, as long as he is given the time he needs. When he trusts, he does so deeply. A meaningful relationship with him is not built through pressure, but through consistency—by investing in trust. He is looking for a person who won’t expect anything in return from day one, and who understands that lifelong bonds are built this way. If that person is you, then Tai is waiting for you.

About Tai

What life with Tai looks like

Tai is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

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: Previously injured leg (fully recovered), requires patient socialization due to fearful nature

🇬🇷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.
