Adopt Indy

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Background On a cold, chilly morning a Macedonian couple were walking their dogs on a trail by a railroad track, when they saw Indy – a small, helpless puppy following people passing by on the path. She was just a small baby and the couple were heartbroken to see no one cared about the little one asking for help, and they couldn’t bear the thought of her being outside alone, without shelter and food, maybe being killed in the traffic, or harmed by people who are annoyed at the sight of a begging stray. So they decided to take her in for the night and find a solution. They fed her and gave her a warm place to sleep for the night. They could not find any shelter with place to help the puppy and they had no space to keep her, but decided to provide for her safety themselves and the next day they found her a place in boarding kennels. This is where she is now living, she was saved by the generosity of this lovely couple who made sure she was safe and cared for. Now Indy is ready to find a home, and we have agreed to help with this. Likes Indy has grown into a beautiful, very friendly and cheerful dog of medium size (around 15 kg). She is great with people, also children, she loves attention, a good cuddle and she is a very playful, happy girl. Indy walks well on a lead and really enjoys exploring her surroundings. Her bubbly, curious nature charms everyone who meets this little sweetheart. She has not been tested with cats, but she is very good natured so with proper introduction and patience she can live with cats. She gets on wonderfully with other dogs and is very playful. Dislikes and issues No issues have been encountered with Indy. She is an energetic little puppy, who will need some basic puppy training and socialization after she spent a good part of her youth in the confined space of a boarding kennel with very limited time to stimulate the individual dogs. But with a sensible approach and proper training Indy will soon catch up for lost time. Ideal home Indy is looking for a loving, forever home, with people who will treat her as a family member and give her the love she craves for. The family will be eager to invest time in her training since she is a young, energetic dog, who needs mental stimulation and two good walks every day. She needs a home with a secured garden space and good walking areas nearby. Indy can live in a home with children and with other pets. Indy has been lucky to get a foster place in Dorset – meet and greet can be arranged after successful home check. Indy is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

About Indy

What life with Indy looks like

Indy is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Strays Without Borders in Skopje.

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 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 Indy, answered.

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