At just two years old, Marta has already experienced the fear and uncertainty of a life without safety. This beautiful young mother was found in terrible conditions alongside her five-month-old puppy, Zorro, with both of their futures hanging in the balance. Thankfully, a chance encounter during another rescue meant that Marta and her little boy would not be left behind. On 16th October 2026, our rescuers had been helping three dogs who were facing the prospect of being put to sleep. While carrying out that rescue, they discovered two more dogs desperately in need of help. It was Marta and her young son, Zorro, and the condition they were in was heartbreaking. Having already saved three lives, our team knew they couldn't walk away and leave this little family behind. An additional €45 was needed to secure each dog's release, and thankfully, both Marta and Zorro were rescued alongside the other three dogs. What had begun as an urgent mission to save three lives became an unexpected rescue of five, giving this frightened mother and her puppy a chance at a completely different future. Understandably, Marta was a little scared at first. After everything she had been through, suddenly finding herself in unfamiliar surroundings must have been overwhelming. But behind that initial fear was a wonderfully affectionate and good-natured girl who simply needed kindness, patience and the reassurance that she was finally safe.

About Marta

What life with Marta looks like

Marta is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs in Bosnia.

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 Bosnia and Herzegovina

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 Marta, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marta?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marta on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marta if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs 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 Marta 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 Marta 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 Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marta 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.
