How do I contact the shelter about Viky (Βίκυ)?

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 Viky (Βίκυ) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Viky (Βίκυ) 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 Viky (Βίκυ) 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 Viky (Βίκυ) 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 Viky (Βίκυ) 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.

Viky (Βίκυ)

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Vicky 9 months old, 15 kg. Imagine being born and before you even get to know life, the only choice you have is euthanasia. This was Vicky's beginning. She was only two and a half months old. A puppy with paralyzed hind legs, diagnosed with neosporosis. In the province where she was found, there was no one to take care of her, nor the money for the necessary surgeries. So, they took her for euthanasia. Two and a half months. She hadn't had time to run. She hadn't had time to play. She hadn't had time to feel like she belonged somewhere. And yet, some people had already decided that her life wasn't worth continuing. Vicky was saved at the last minute. She underwent multiple surgeries and difficult procedures on her hind legs so that she could become functional. From the first day of her life, she learned to live with pain. She learned about veterinary clinics, tests, treatments, and anxiety long before she learned what play meant. And yet, Vicky didn't give up. Today, she walks, plays, runs, and asks for affection. She enjoys every day as if she knew how hard she had won it. However, neosporosis will accompany her throughout her life. She will need regular tests, titer measurements, and constant monitoring. We cannot know how many years she will live or how her condition will develop. Perhaps she will not live as long as another dog. And some day, when the disease affects the quality of her life, her human will need to stand by her side and make the most difficult decision. But Vicky is not dying today. Today she lives, runs, loves. And she doesn't deserve to spend the time she won waiting for the end of her life. We are looking for a person who will not see her as "the sick dog." A person who will not pity her, but love her. Who will know that their common life may not last as long as they would like, but will decide that every day of hers can be filled with safety, play, care, and true love. A person who will promise her: "I don't know how long you will be here. But I know that for as long as you are, I will make your life worthwhile." Vicky doesn't ask for much. She asks not to live waiting for death. She asks, at last, to start living.

💪🏽Vicky 💪🏽9 μηνών 💪🏽15 κιλά Φαντάσου να γεννιέσαι και, πριν προλάβεις να γνωρίσεις τη ζωή, η μοναδική επιλογή που σου δίνουν να είναι η ευθανασία. Αυτή ήταν η αρχή της Βίκυς. Ήταν μόλις δυόμισι μηνών. Ένα μωρό με παράλυτα πίσω άκρα, διαγνωσμένο με νεοσπορίωση. Στην επαρχία όπου βρέθηκε δεν υπήρχε ο κατάλληλος άνθρωπος για να τη φροντίσει, ούτε τα χρήματα για τις επεμβάσεις που χρειαζόταν. Έτσι, την πήγαιναν για ευθανασία. Δυόμισι μηνών. Δεν είχε προλάβει να τρέξει. Δεν είχε προλάβει να παίξει. Δεν είχε προλάβει να νιώσει πως είναι να ανήκεις κάπου. Κι όμως, κάποιοι είχαν ήδη αποφασίσει ότι η ζωή της δεν άξιζε να συνεχιστεί. Η Βίκυ σώθηκε την τελευταία στιγμή. Ακολούθησαν αλλεπάλληλα χειρουργεία και δύσκολες επεμβάσεις στα πίσω πόδια, ώστε να μπορέσει να γίνει λειτουργική. Από την πρώτη ημέρα της ζωής της έμαθε να ζει με τον πόνο. Έμαθε τα κτηνιατρεία, τις εξετάσεις, τις θεραπείες και την αγωνία πολύ πριν μάθει τι σημαίνει παιχνίδι. Κι όμως, η Βίκυ δεν παραιτήθηκε. Σήμερα περπατάει, παίζει, τρέχει, ζητάει χάδια. Χαίρεται την κάθε ημέρα σαν να γνωρίζει πόσο δύσκολα την κέρδισε. Η νεοσπορίωση, όμως, θα τη συνοδεύει σε ολόκληρη τη ζωή της. Θα χρειάζεται τακτικές εξετάσεις, μέτρηση τίτλων και συνεχή παρακολούθηση.Δεν μπορούμε να γνωρίζουμε πόσα χρόνια θα ζήσει ούτε πώς θα εξελιχθεί η κατάστασή της. Ίσως να μη ζήσει όσα ένας άλλος σκύλος. Και κάποια ημέρα, όταν η ασθένεια επιβαρύνει την ποιότητα της ζωής της, ο άνθρωπός της θα χρειαστεί να σταθεί δίπλα της και στην πιο δύσκολη απόφαση. Αλλά η Βίκυ δεν πεθαίνει σήμερα. Σήμερα ζει, τρέχει, αγαπά. Και δεν της αξίζει να περάσει τον χρόνο που κέρδισε περιμένοντας απλώς το τέλος της. Αναζητούμε έναν άνθρωπο που δεν θα τη δει ως «το άρρωστο σκυλί». Έναν άνθρωπο που δεν θα τη λυπηθεί, αλλά θα την αγαπήσει. Που θα γνωρίζει ότι ίσως η κοινή τους ζωή να μην κρατήσει όσο θα ήθελε, αλλά θα αποφασίσει ότι κάθε ημέρα της μπορεί να γεμίσει ασφάλεια, παιχνίδι, φροντίδα και αληθινή αγάπη. Έναν άνθρωπο που θα της υποσχεθεί: «Δεν ξέρω για πόσο θα είσαι εδώ. Ξέρω, όμως, ότι για όσο είσαι, θα κάνω τη ζωή σου να αξίζει». Η Βίκη δεν ζητάει πολλά. Ζητάει να μη ζήσει περιμένοντας τον θάνατο. Ζητάει, επιτέλους, να αρχίσει να ζει.

About Viky (Βίκυ)

What life with Viky (Βίκυ) looks like

Viky (Βίκυ) is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷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.
