Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

EltonMale tricolour hound, medium in size. Approx. 2 years old (July 2026). Loves humans and other dogs, and is full of the joys of life. Meet EltonElton is a gorgeous tricolour hound with a heart every bit as beautiful as his face. When Elton arrived at the pound, he was heartbreakingly thin and desperately unwell. It would have been easy for him to give up, but he didn't. With veterinary care, good food, and lots of love, this incredible boy has made a full recovery. He’s still standing! He is now in the safety of a lovely pension where he gets to run around and socialise more, thanks to a very kind sponsor. He's happy, healthy, playful, and ready to start the next chapter of his life. He is friendly and affectionate with humans, great with other dogs, and just full of joy. Always ready to make a new friend, Elton isn't looking for fame or the spotlight. He just wants what every rescue dog dreams of, a family to love him. Elton is neutered, vaccinated and negative on testing. All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Elton

What life with Elton looks like

Elton is a medium-sized 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. 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 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 Elton, answered.

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