Looby

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 8 months

LoobyFemale dog, small in size at around 7kg. Approx. 8 months old (September 2026). Playful, clever and cuddly dog, and gets on well with other dogs. Meet LoobyLooby was just a puppy when she and her older sister, Gabi, were abandoned beneath a bridge near a river in the middle of winter. The two frightened girls were understandably distrustful of people. A shelter was built for them, and they were fed and cared for while their rescuers waited patiently for them to feel safe. It took several months before Looby finally found the courage to approach. Once she did, a completely different little girl began to emerge. Looby proved herself to be playful, cheerful, smart and very funny. She now enjoys being cuddled and loves playing with balls and chew toys. She also has great fun playing with other dogs and particularly enjoys a lively game of rough and tumble! Looby is now safe in a foster home in Serbia, where she gets along well with both people and other dogs. Like her sister Gabi, she is a clever little character with a wonderful personality. She has not yet been tested with cats or children. After such a frightening beginning, Looby is now ready to find a loving family and discover just how wonderful life can be. Could you offer this sweet, funny little girl the forever home she deserves? Looby is spayed, vaccinated, and negative on tests. 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 Looby

What life with Looby looks like

Looby 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

Frequently asked

Adopting Looby, answered.

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