Beethoven

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

BeethovenMale dog, likely to be medium/large in size when fully grown. Approx. 1 year old (July 2026). Calm puppy but loves to playfight and chase his siblings! Meet BeethovenThis handsome guy is Beethoven. He was found with his mum and siblings (Toto, Rain, Sunny, Snoopy and Bolt) in the middle of nowhere, sadly abandoned to die. Thankfully our lovely rescuer alerted us to their plight and they were taken to safety. They are all a little shy but we have recently split the pack to stop sibling rivalry and they are now starting to show their personalities. Beethoven is a calm dog, who is learning to love a human cuddle, but still a typical puppy who likes to run and play fight with his siblings, Bolt and Sunny who are in the same pension. Beethoven is neutered, vaccinated and negative on tests. All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Beethoven

What life with Beethoven looks like

Beethoven is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Balkan Underdogs in Tirana.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇱Adopting from Albania

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 Beethoven, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Beethoven?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Balkan Underdogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Beethoven on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Beethoven if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Balkan Underdogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Beethoven 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 Beethoven 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 Balkan Underdogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Beethoven 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.
