Chuck

Dachshund · Male · Puppy · 1 month

This sweet pupster was found by a family who stayed a short time in Macedonia. He was alone in the streets and was far too young to be without his mother – just around 4 weeks old. The little sweetheart was at risk of dying of malnutrition and diseases and the family took care of him while they stayed. Their children loved him and they all cried when they had to leave and he was placed in kennels. When Chuck was found he was in really bad shape, full of parasites and fleas and very hungry. But he bounced back really quickly once he was rescued. He was lucky to find a foster home in the UK and recently arrived. He has developed into a lovely and cheeky character who enjoys playing, begging in the kitchen and snoozing on the sofa cuddling a cushion. He is nearly house trained (although this can regress when a young dog is moving but he will soon catch up. Chuck probably has some Dachshund in his genes judging by his short legs and he is utterly charming. He is quite confident and a very happy and funny little boy. Surely he will display some puppy behaviour and he will go through the teenage phase, so his forever home must be ready to dedicate time and effort to his education and have time enough for a young active dog. He will really enjoy living with another playful dog. He gets on really well with everyone he meets and loves the children in his foster family. With gradual introduction he can live with cats too. Microchipped and fully vaccinated.

About Chuck

What life with Chuck looks like

Chuck is a small puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Strays Without Borders in Skopje.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇲🇰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 Chuck, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chuck?
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 Chuck on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chuck 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 Chuck 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 Chuck 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 Chuck 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.
