Michael

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

MichaelMale dog, possibly a Kokoni mix, small to medium sized boy, weighing approximately 10-11kg. Approx. 3 years old (October 2026). Loves cuddles and gets on well with cats and other dogs. Meet MichaelWith his golden coat, beautiful feathery tail and sweet face, Michael is a handsome boy. But his loveliest quality is how cuddly he is. His rescuer describes him as “super cute and cuddly”, and he is looking for a home where he can share that affection with people of his own. Michael may be a Kokoni mix, although we cannot confirm his breed. His affectionate nature is certainly in keeping with the companionship these little dogs are known for. He gets along well with other dogs and has also been good with the cats roaming around his current surroundings. Michael is vaccinated, neutered, 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 Michael

What life with Michael looks like

Michael is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Balkan Underdogs in Tirana.

A 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 Albania

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 Michael, answered.

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