Telis

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Telis is a good natured young shepherd boy who wants to discover everything. What it is like to lie on your back in fresh grass. What it is like to be petted. What it is like to go for walks without struggling for your survival. What it is like to rely on a human and, instead of being pushed away, to be welcomed into their arms. All this and so much more from a life that can finally be carefree and joyful. Telis arrived at our shelter from the municipal kennel of Krestena and seemed ready to leave everything behind and start over. When we first put a harness on him, he did not hesitate for a moment. He accepted it, looked at us, and surely thought this was his chance. Or at least that is what we felt when we took him for his first walk. With him, time passes pleasantly and lightly. He has the curiosity to sniff everything, but without insisting when you say “Come on, let’s go now.” He has the enthusiasm to run into your arms, but without becoming demanding. You sit down, and he takes the opportunity to lean against you, resting his weight on you and looking at you with those big eyes, as if to say, “Perfect. Now keep petting me.” Telis seems to know how to enjoy life and has the rare ability to teach the same to his person. All he needs is a chance to show his character. We are certain that in a family, in a home of his own, he will reveal even more gifts that are still waiting to be discovered.

About Telis

What life with Telis looks like

Telis is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Telis, answered.

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