Gender: male Birthday: November 2013 Castrated/Neutered: yes Weight: 33,5 kg Back story: Kanellos is a famous stray from Chania, we took him in October 2024 since he was injured and he's old. Description/Updates/Pictures: Update December 2024: Have you met our Kanellos? He used to be quite the celebrity on the streets of Chania. It’s true! Kanellos surely has many stories to tell from all the adventures he’s had. But life on the streets is no joke, especially for the oldies! Now retired from his job as chief of the streets, Kanellos dreams of becoming a full-time softie. After spending some time in a private kennel, he finally arrived at the shelter this October. We’re hoping he won’t stay too long. You see, our Kanellos is a gentle senior who wants nothing more than to curl up next to you. A quiet, simple life, filled with all the warmth and love he can get. Please consider adopting a senior dog. Please consider adopting our Kanellos, so he can finally enjoy the safety of a loving home he has waited for all his life. Update October 2024: After spending quite some time at Christos Kennels in Nerokourou Kanello has now moved in with us. Today was his first day and although I was worried that he would be stressed, the opposite, he made himself right at home. I just left him now early evening, and he has already made his way up onto his new bed. Update December 2022: Let’s not forget Kanellos. Kanellos roamed the streets of Chania and was better known than the mayor himself. He was alpha dog. Alpha of the town. One night he got into a scuff with an owned dog, much smaller his size. Rumor had it that the owners would be back that evening to get rid of Kanellos. We could not let that happen. We had him picked up and since that time he has been living in a private kennel. He eats BARF. He has his own inside outside living quarters but that still does not amount to a home. Not to mention the cost of having him there is completely irrational to our budget. We have to get Kanellos a home. It’s time this beauty begins his new life. In a home, on a couch. He is an older gentleman. Seven plus. Although he was a tough guy on the streets he has become a softy under personal care. Other animals don’t phase him much. And he is fully sociable with people, just imagine how many he had to deal with in one day. We do prefer he live in a single animal home, just because of his age and the life he has led till now. He plays catch, he wants belly rubs, he is deserving of a home. Be that home. Open your heart to Kanellos, the most famous dog to walk the streets of Chania Update December 2022: Recently, we made some new photos of Kanellos playing with a plastic toy – enjoy! Update March 2022: Kanellos was hurt last night but not seriously. We had to take him off the street because his life was in danger. He is now in a kennel till we can fix a pen for him to stay in safely at the shelter. The kennel costs. So does fixing the pen. Please consider donating to our cause, or at least to Kanello’s cause. He is so worth it! Anyone interested in adopting Kanello should know the following: He is not good with cats. He is best as a single dog or with a large female. He is a senior so he will have some geriatric issues which we will uncover in the next weeks (like back leg arthritis). Please consider him. A more colorful character you surely have never met. He’s practically human. Update January 2022: Kanellos. Kanello. Kanellino. The most colorful stray to roam the streets of Chania. He is the chief. He is a softy. He has a sense of humor. He can be very serious. He is tired. So many years at the mercy of the community: the angry, the happy, the drunk, the frustrated, the loving, the indifferent…he could probably write a book. His body is worn, his legs are tired. For sure he will spring back to life once pampered and loved but if he stays on the street I don’t see him lasting much longer. Kanello is over eight years of age, he is a senior. If you are interested and you pass our expectations we will collect him, take him straight to the vet for bloodwork and a thorough check up. We will bring his vaccinations up-to-date. He has been castrated by the Municipality. He will need an experienced dog owner. Update December 2019: Kanello is a famous stray in Chania town. He is big and bold and LOVES gatherings, protests and parades. This year, like every year he participated in the annual Santa Run. If you’re interested in adopting him please let us know. Of course it’s nice to see him participate in such events but it would be even nicer to see him on someone’s couch in someone’s warm home.
