Grace

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

GraceLarge female Labrador mix. 6 years old (July 2026). Good with other dogs but would prefer a quiet home. Can live with dog-hardy cats and children over the age of 12. Meet GraceBeautiful and calm-natured Grace was found along with her siblings living in the garden of an abandoned home. We think that they belonged to the elderly lady who had lived in the house, and when she died the family just left them there. Grace is in foster where she’s kept safe thanks to her sponsors. She’s learning to walk on a lead and live in a home to make the transition to UK easier. Her foster carers tell us that Grace lives up to her name, she’s a calm dog that will just benefit from a quiet home at a slow pace. Grace is spayed and vaccinated. Our dogs are tested for the following conditions as part of our standard testing procedure - Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis and from the 11th of June 2021 all dogs are also tested for Brucellosis. We offer a full rescue back up for life. If you would like to adopt Grace, you can register your interest here or ask any questions by getting in touch here.

About Grace

What life with Grace looks like

Grace is an 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. 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 Grace, answered.

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