Misty

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

MistyMedium female, a pointer mix. About 9. 5 years old (August 2024) Good with people and children over 10 years old. Strong bond with Toby who is also available for adoption. Misty has been with us for quite some time, and we would truly love for her to find her forever home. Because of this, and thanks to some lovely sponsors, we have reduced Misty's adoption fee to £450. Meet MistyMisty's story is a sad one. She was spotted squashed between a dog house and a wall by one of our trustees while visiting one of the public pounds back in Oct 2019. At first, we didn't know if she was even alive. She spent a few weeks at the vets as she was very thin, unwell and had an awful jaw injury. Misty is probably a Pointer mix and such a pretty girl. Misty needs a roof palette repair which will be done in the UK by a specialist in the Eastcott area. We are also considering foster care for Misty whilst the operation is undertaken. BU will fundraise to finance the operation, but if you could consider giving her a temporary home or her forever one it would mean the world to her. Misty adores people and loves to be hugged, but she doesn't like small dogs or cats. She can be homed with children over ten, so with the right family would make a lovely addition - she has lots of love to give, she just needs the chance to show it. All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Misty

What life with Misty looks like

Misty is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Balkan Underdogs in Tirana.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇱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 Misty, answered.

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