Can I adopt from PAWS Paleochora if I live in another country?

PAWS Paleochora typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport.

PAWS Paleochora is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at PAWS Paleochora?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by PAWS Paleochora directly. Typical fees in Greece cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport).
