Holly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

HollyMedium female dog. Approx. 5 years old (September 2026). Good with people & children. Best suited to be the only dog at home, but would be happy with dog friends out of the house. Holly has been with us for quite some time, and we would truly love for her to find her forever home. Because of this, and thanks to some lovely sponsors, we have reduced Holly's adoption fee to £450. Meet HollyMeet little Holly who is a sweet girl looking for her forever home. This little scrap was found on the street with the rest of her litter only a few weeks old. No mum in sight. They must have all been so scared. The whole litter unfortunately contracted Parvovirus and Holly was the only one who survived. So she lost her mum and all her brothers and sisters. What a sad start to her little life. She was taken to safety where she recovered and has been going from strength to strength. She’s currently living in the pension owner's house and she loves to get cuddles from and play with the owner's son. Holly loves to be the centre of attention of attention and doesn’t like to share her bed or food bowl with other dogs. She can be a bit picky with the dogs so she would be best suited to a home as an only dog. She does get on well with many dogs and the pension and would happily have doggy friends outside her home. Holly is into everything and desperate to play. She’s medium in size and as pretty as a picture. Holly will suit an active family looking for a mischievous fun dog - lots of fun adventures are waiting for a lucky family. All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Holly

What life with Holly looks like

Holly is a medium-sized 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 Holly, answered.

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