Flora

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

FloraFemale dog, expected to remain small, with an estimated adult weight of no more than 10kg. Approx. 8 months old (October 2026). Happy and playful pup who gets on well with adults, children, dogs and dog-hardy cats. Meet FloraFlora was rescued from the street alongside her mum, Nora. Now safe, this little girl can enjoy being a puppy, with plenty of opportunities to play, explore and discover the world around her. Flora is an active, curious pup who loves having a good sniff and investigating whatever catches her interest. She enjoys playing with other dogs and she is good around children too. Flora enjoys playing with the cats she knows, who are confident and comfortable around dogs. Her playful puppy enthusiasm may be too much for shy or nervous cats, so she would need feline companions who can take her playful nature in their stride. Any introductions would need to be gradual and supervised. Her photos and videos will give you a lovely glimpse of her spending time with the cats and children she knows. She may be little, but Flora has plenty of enthusiasm for life. She is looking for a family who will enjoy her playful nature and help her learn through kind, consistent puppy training. Flora is vaccinated and will be spayed before travel to the UK. She is negative on tests apart from testing positive for anaplasmosis on routine testing. Anaplasmosis is a fairly common tick-borne disease prevalent in countries such as the Balkans. It is treated with a 30 day course of antibiotics which is sufficient according to vet advice. Flora does not show any symptoms of anaplasmosis and has received her 30 day course of antibiotics. You can find more information on anaplasmosis here. 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 Flora

What life with Flora looks like

Flora is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Balkan Underdogs in Tirana.

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 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 Flora, answered.

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