ADOPTING

Adopting a Greek dog is a gift. These dogs are special, magical, possess something intangible. It takes a leap of faith to bring a dog into your home based on little more than a photo and a brief description. But when you see your dog, you’ll know -- in your heart. Suddenly, getting this dog from halfway around the globe is the only thing you can think about.

We screen potential families very carefully and home visits are required before an adoption application is approved. It is our responsibility to keep these dogs safe. Our Greek rescue partners are trusting us with “their” dogs’ lives.

Once we’ve matched several families with dogs, a group is transported from Greece to New England.

 

There is no cost to you in getting the dog here. Our adoption fee is $300.00 but we are willing to work with the families. If the dog is 4+ years, the adoption fee is $200.00. All dogs are pre-screened and vetted prior to coming to the US. All dogs that are 6 months or older are spay/neutered prior to coming to the US. Puppies adopted before they turn seven months of age will need to be altered when old enough. 100% of our adoption fee goes back to Greece for travel, food and vet care for the dogs.

All NEHGS dogs are adopted out under a contract that requires the dog be returned to us if the placement should fail. No exceptions.

Taking in a Greek stray is taking on a cause. Your new family member will be an ambassador for other Greek dogs. For every dog placed, another is rescued. Every adoption makes a difference.

 

We provide the perspective adopter with as much information as we can regarding the dog they are interested in adopting. We provide continue support to all adopting families. It is extremely important not only to NEHGS but to the Greek rescues that we work with that we receive updates and pictures as often as possible.
