Xanthi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Here I will sit in a corner and I will not bother, no matter what I catch two square meters, you will not even understand me. If Blonde could speak, she would say so. And as much as we make a little fun about its volume and thickness, Xanthi really could live very happily in a small, very small house. You'll just take an armchair out of somewhere, and that's where Blonde's bed will be. She is a sweet, tender and very quiet baby. She has mouths and no speeches - all the other dogs may bark, and Blonde won't make a kih, or even get up to see why others are barking. It is a very gentle toned dog, quiet and easygoing. She's a little hesitant with people she doesn't know, and she lowers her head and lowers her tail and becomes tiny and invisible. She will need some time to trust and relax, and perhaps a busy neighborhood with people and traffic is not ideal for her.

He lives in a specially designed space built by TERNA for strays like him and is looking for his forever home. a at the construction site "Styrfaka" of GEK TERNA, where the employees of the group take care of him, have vaccinated him and sterilized him.

About Xanthi

What life with Xanthi looks like

Xanthi is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Save a Greek Stray in Metsovo.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs quiet environment, shy with strangers, requires patience to build trust

🇬🇷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 Xanthi, answered.

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