Adopt Ethan

Male

Background Ethan was found wandering bewildered in the streets of Macedonia with a huge open wound on his forehead. It looked like someone had tried to kill him by hitting him on the head and the poor boy was on the verge of death. We rescued him and took him to the vets for treatment. It took a long time for him to physically recover from the brutal attack, but luckily he did, and in spite of everything, he is the friendliest and sweetest boy you can imagine. He is now fully recovered and ready to find his forever home. Likes This amazing dog is so forgiving, literally likes everyone, and has so much love to give. He is wonderful with children and gets along with every dog he meets. Ethan is very good-natured and has a moderate energy level. He loves to cuddle with his human friends and is a sure couch potato candidate. Dislikes and issues It is amazing considering his past, but we haven’t seen any issues with Ethan, he is just a good, friendly boy. He does have an old injury on one leg, which gives him a slight limb when he runs, but he is not in any pain and does not seem bothered. Ideal home Ethan is looking for a loving forever home, where he will be warm and safe and he will be a wonderful family dog as he is very good around children. He probably never had a home so he will need house training and basic education, but given his sweet, forgiving nature, he will soon catch up for lost time. He would surely enjoy another friendly dog as company, but can also live as only dog. With proper introduction and training Ethan can live with cats. Ethan is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

About Ethan

What life with Ethan looks like

Ethan 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 Ethan, answered.

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