Adopt Von - the dog (Βον - the dog)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Von - Von the dog. 8 years old, kind, gentle, and lovable. In the spring of 2023, he was found, nearly at death’s door. He was one of the ghosts that people pass by. However, one person did not turn away; instead, they cared for him, and that's how he ended up in the family of Adopt a Paw Today, and later in the arms of Vrouva Farm Aegina to help him heal. A physically and mentally damaged creature, for whom Vrouva once again performed a miracle, Von began to blossom. During this entire period, we eagerly watched this miracle as it was unfolding step by step; the first time he was petted, the first time we put a leash on him and took him for a walk, the first time he played. Von returned to life. His fur grew back, his skin condition improved, and he developed a huge smile! The animal that once trembled when it came into contact with people transformed into a sweet, cute, and cuddly darling who melts into your arms. His little soul began to heal, and began to accept and enjoy caresses, go for walks, play, smile, make friends, and enjoy life at last! So many first-time experiences for Von! The dog that was once written off by some, our fighter Von, never gave up. He overcame all the obstacles presented to him and came out triumphant. He is a truly wonderful and stately dog; modest, stubborn, very affectionate, emotional, sociable, and cuddly. A home is now what he needs for his story to have a happy ending. Our Von has a lot of love to give to his human. He might be reserved at first, but once he opens up, he'll unleash his huge, untamed love, and rub his head against your lap. Our sweet big puppy will fill your lap, your sofa, your car, your heart, your life. We asked him, and he told us that he is now ready to make a new start in his life. That the time has come to say goodbye to Vrouva and his friends, and that he wants to live in a house, and have a family, and his own human. That's what he would like, he told us. We replied that we will find him his home and we assured him that the day he dreams of so much will not be long. If you're the one our Von is waiting for, hurry up! Send us a message and fill in our form!

Βον - Von the dog ENGLISH BELOW 8 ετών Γλυκός, τρυφερός, αγκαλίτσας Ο Βον ο μαχητής. Βρέθηκε την άνοιξη του 2023 σχεδόν ένα βήμα πριν φύγει από τη ζωή. Ήταν ένα από τα φαντάσματα που προσπερνάνε όλοι. Κάποιος Άνθρωπος, όμως, δε γύρισε το βλέμμα, τον νοιάστηκε και κάπως έτσι κατέληξε στην οικογένεια της Adopt a paw today και από εκεί στην αγκαλιά της Vrouva Farm Aegina για την ανάρρωσή του. Ένα πλάσμα σωματικά και ψυχικά κατεστραμμένο για το οποίο η Βρούβα έκανε ακόμη μια φορά το θαύμα της κι έτσι ο Βον άρχισε να ανθίζει. Όλον αυτόν τον καιρό βήμα βήμα παρακολουθήσαμε συγκινημένοι αυτό το θαύμα : Την πρώτη φορά που δέχτηκε χάδι, την πρώτη φορά που του περάσαμε λουρί και βγήκε βόλτα, την πρώτη φορά που έπαιξε. Ο Βον αναστήθηκε. Έβγαλε ξανά τρίχωμα, τα δερματικά του υποχώρησαν και φύτρωσε ένα τεράστιο χαμόγελο! Το πλάσμα που έτρεμε την ανθρώπινη επαφή έγινε χαδιάρης αγαπούλης, αφήνεται και λιώνει στην αγκαλιά σου. Η ψυχούλα του άρχισε να γιατρεύεται και ξεκίνησε να δέχεται και να απολαμβάνει χάδια, να βγαίνει βόλτες, να παίζει, να χαμογελάει, να κάνει φίλους, να χαίρεται τη ζωή επιτέλους! Τόσες πρωτόγνωρες εμπειρίες για τον Βον!!! Το σκυλί που είχαν κάποτε κάποιοι ξεγραμμένο, ο μαχητής μας ο Βον, δεν το έβαλε ποτέ κάτω, ξεπέρασε όλα τα εμπόδια που του παρουσιάστηκαν και βγήκε νικητής. Είναι ένας πραγματικά υπέροχος και αρχοντικός σκύλος, λιχούδης, πεισματάρης, πολύ τρυφερός, συναισθηματικός, κοινωνικός και χαδιάρης. Αυτό που του λείπει τώρα για να έχει happy end στην ιστορία του είναι ένα σπιτικό. Ο Βον μας έχει να δώσει πολλή αγάπη στον άνθρωπό του. Στην αρχή ίσως είναι επιφυλακτικός, αλλά μόλις ανοιχτεί θα ξεδιπλώσει την τεράστια ατσούμπαλη αγάπη του και θα τρίβει το κεφάλι του στην αγκαλιά σου. Ο γλυκός μας μεγαλοκούταβος θα γεμίσει την αγκαλιά σου, τον καναπέ σου, το αυτοκίνητό σου, την καρδιά σου, τη ζωή σου. Τον ρωτήσαμε και μας είπε πως είναι πανέτοιμος πλέον για να ανοίξει νέα σελίδα στη ζωή του. Πως ήρθε πια η ώρα να αποχαιρετήσει τη Βρούβα και τους φίλους του και πως θέλει να ζήσει σε σπίτι και να έχει οικογένεια και τον καταδικό του άνθρωπο. Αυτό θα ήθελε, μας είπε. Του είπαμε κι εμείς πως θα του το βρούμε το σπίτι του και πως είμαστε σίγουροι πως δε θα αργήσει πολύ η μέρα που τόσο ονειρεύεται. Αν είσαι αυτός που περιμένει ο Βον μας, μην αργείς! Στείλε μας μήνυμα! 8 years old Kind, gentle, and lovable Von the fighter. In the spring of 2023, he was found, nearly at death’s door. He was one of the ghosts that people pass by.

About Von - the dog (Βον - the dog)

What life with Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) looks like

Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Voice in Athens.

An 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 Von - the dog (Βον - the dog), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Von - the dog (Βον - the dog)?
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 Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) 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 Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) 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 Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) 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 Von - the dog (Βον - the dog) 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.
