Harley

 

My name is Harley the husky.

I was found by a very kind older lady who took me in from the streets.

 

Lord knows how I ended up on the mean streets of Greece, I must have been abandoned.

It is rare that a pure breed dog is abandoned in Greece and not sold so maybe I escaped?

My owner who took me in never did get to the bottom of it!

She was very kind to let me come and live with her in her apartment and cared for me but she was very overwhelmed and surrendered me to DASH in February 2020, when I was two years old.

She tried her best but a young husky was far too much for her, she said she wished she was younger and could meet my needs.

 

I have experience living in a home environment and I’m so glad I was taken in by DASH but I would love to have my very own home again.

I was a good girl but my owner said she couldn’t handle me because of my size and her age.

I am a big, strong, bouncy girl who just wants love and to play.

As is typical of my breed I am very high energy!

I need a family who lead an active lifestyle – maybe I could join people who like hiking and sports adventures?

Husky’s are working dogs and we need stimulation and lots of exercise.

I do not need a huge garden if I am taken to exercise but a garden I can run in would be the ideal.

 

My caretakers here at DASH describe me as sweet, lively, inquisitive and beautiful.

I just love people! I could live with dog savvy children , perhaps who are older and understand me better.

I can be a little clumsy and might be too excitable for young kids.

I need a home with people who have experience with my breed or who are used to strong, large working breeds.

My owner must be firm because if I can push the boundaries I will! As is the case with most husky’s, I am very vocal, I love to talk to the humans!

 

I live with lots of other dogs here in the shelter, and it is possible for me to join a family who have existing dogs but I think living as the only dog would suit me best.

I like to be the alpha female so sometimes I have problems with other dominant bitches but I get along fine with males and more docile girls.

To avoid any potential problems, my carers at DASH will not rehome me with another female.

Homes with males may be considered but I would prefer to be on my own anyway!

I love all the attention and I’m so high energy I will take up my owner’s time with exercise, exercise, exercise!!

Adopting is easy! 

Our dogs can travel to your country and we’ll arrange it all. 

Email us here: info@dash-dogs.com

Tell us about the dog you’re interested in, or alternatively we can help you find your perfect match, we have hundreds of dogs looking for a home at our shelter!

The adoption process can take a few weeks to a few months depending on transport arrangements we need to make for your new fur baby. A ‘home check’ will take place at your home before an adoption is finalized so that we may check you and your chosen dog are the perfect match!

Katerina our founder has a remarkable relationship with the dogs and instinctively knows the various personalities and which type of families they would suit.

All dogs have passports and can travel to your country.

Each dog is fully tested for any medical issues prior to adoption and are vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.

There is a fee of approx. £482 for an adoption.

We do not make any profit on this fee.

The cost of the adoption goes towards the safe travel arrangements for your new fur baby and any health checks and subsequent treatment required before travel.

Our DASH Rescue dogs make beautiful, loving and highly rewarding members of the family! One of the benefits of adopting a DASH dog is that due to the way in which they are looked after in ‘packs’ having regular contact with humans, all our ‘adoptables’ are friendly and well-socialised.

In general rescue dogs require a period of adjustment and some training to settle in to their new home, but it is so wonderful to see them grow in confidence and enjoy all the little things in life that other dogs take for granted.
