Adopt Lizzie

Female · Young · 3 years

When we first met Lizzie, she was a very scared, confused little girl, laying in the middle of a boulevard with 6 lanes, not knowing where to go or how to navigate the streets. She looked lonely, overwhelmed and scared. We knew it was matter of time before she would get hit by a car and decided to take her to kennels. We hoped this would only be a temporary stay and that she would find a home quickly considering how beautiful she is, but little did we know, she was not that lucky, and would be overlooked in kennels for over 2 years. Finally, Lizzie was offered a foster home and travelled to the UK. But sadly, due to no fault of hers, it didn’t work out and Lizzie had to be moved after just a few days. Thankfully she has settled really well in her new foster home and she is ready for her forever home. She is a lovely, cheerful, friendly girl, who will spend a lot of time sleeping on the sofa and potter about the garden, she is not high energy, and love cuddles. Lizzie is not very interested in other dogs and will thrive as an only dog, but with proper introduction she can also live with another friendly, laidback dog. She was cat tested in Macedonia and was fine with them, but it has been a while so she would need slow introduction. Lizzie walks quite well one the lead, she is clean in the house and generally well behaved and even knows a few basic commands. Lizzie is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and tested (negative) for endemic diseases. Please give this lovely girl a chance! She is 3 years old, cross breed and medium size.

About Lizzie

What life with Lizzie looks like

Lizzie is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Strays Without Borders in Skopje.

An young 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 Lizzie, answered.

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