If you wish to leave your pet, you can digitally submit an application for the delivery of the animal to the Municipality of your permanent residence.

The authorized employees of the Municipalities also have access to the digital delivery request service. Upon request from citizens, you can request on their behalf the delivery of their pet to the Municipality.
You will need either:

• your personal Taxisnet credentials, if you own a pet
• Public Administration Codes, if you are an employee of a municipality

You will also need to fill in the following information:

• Tax Identification Number (AFM) owner (the field is automatically filled in if the entry is made by the owner)
• the Municipality of Permanent Residence
• animal microchip code, selected from the list of animals registered to you in the SubRegister for the Recording and Monitoring of Pets.
• animal details (animal species, name, sex, breed, age, etc.), extracted from the SubRegister for Recording and Monitoring of Pets
• upload a photo of the pet animal

The request for delivery to the Municipality is registered as a document, can be saved locally in pdf format and printed.

The Municipality ensures the posting of the pet for adoption on the Panhellenic Adoption Platform for two months.
At the end of the two-month period and if no new owner is found for the animal, the animal becomes a stray and passes to the management of the Municipality.

Voluntary separation of the pet animal and its delivery to the relevant municipality entails deprivation of the right to acquire a pet animal for three (3) years.
