Adopt Aleksandra

Female · Adult · 6 years

Aleksandra is a mid-sized dog that has a kind heart but requires a human touch to gain complete trust in people. This sweet girl has been through a lot, but despite this she does not show any aggressive behaviour, only a slight cautiousness of people she does not know. Aleksandra was run over by a car and as a result broke pelvis. The vets said she would never walk again, but Aleksandra was having none of that! She was back on her feet in 2 weeks and hasn’t stopped running and playing since. Usually when she is in an open space will be cautious and not come to close to people. However, in a confined space though (in her kennel), she lets people approach her. This is purely due to her being scared from her trauma – she will flourish and grow confidence in a home environment with just a little bit of love. She is good with other dogs.

About Aleksandra

What life with Aleksandra looks like

Aleksandra is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Strays Without Borders in Skopje.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇲🇰Adopting from North Macedonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aleksandra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aleksandra?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Strays Without Borders handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aleksandra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aleksandra if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Strays Without Borders will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Aleksandra already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Aleksandra isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Strays Without Borders early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aleksandra and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
