Dove

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

DoveBeautiful female dog, large in size. Approx. 4 years old (October 2026). Would suit an active family, with or without a dog companion. Meet DoveDove is an active Samoyed girl with a lovely nature looking for a home where her people have the care and companionship she needs. She was previously homed from the pound, but sadly returned because her adopters did not have enough time for her. We would love her next move to be into a lasting home with someone who understands the commitment of welcoming a large, lively dog. Dove would suit people experienced with large breeds who can provide suitable exercise, ongoing training and time together. Her beautiful Samoyed coat will also need regular, thorough grooming, so her adopters should be comfortable keeping up with its care. Dove can live with suitably matched canine companions or be happy as the only dog. She has not yet been tested with cats or children. Dove is vaccinated, spayed, and negative on tests. Our dogs are tested for the following conditions as part of our standard testing procedure - Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis and Brucellosis (Since 11th June 2021).

About Dove

What life with Dove looks like

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

An 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 Dove, answered.

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