How do I contact the shelter about Marto (Марто)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ecoravnovesie Sofia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marto (Марто) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Marto (Марто) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ecoravnovesie Sofia 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 Marto (Марто) 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 Marto (Марто) 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 Ecoravnovesie Sofia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marto (Марто) 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 (BG). 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.

Marto (Марто)

Male

Nine-year-old Uncle Marcho is the embodiment of calm and quiet wisdom, although his body is now failing him and he struggles with difficulties in his hind legs. Despite the years at the shelter, he has not lost his ability to love and longs for gentle human touch, which he accepts with gratitude and quiet joy. This kind and affectionate friend deserves a home without unnecessary stress, where slow walks and a soft bed will bring him the needed rest. May the remainder of his life be filled with security and warmth, something only a truly loving person can give him. Thank you to the 1500s Band! Uncle Marcho is waiting for you at the shelter in Gorni Bogrov. The walks of the 1500s Band are every Sunday between 10:00 and 14:00. Uncle Marcho's profile was created by Ralitsa Milanova - a certified trainer with many years of experience in rehabilitation and trauma-informed approach when working with dogs, with the support of Dogs Trust and the assistance of the Sofia Municipality.

About Marto (Марто)

What life with Marto (Марто) looks like

Marto (Марто) is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Ecoravnovesie Sofia in Sofia.

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 Bulgaria
