Mitzy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

MitzyFemale dog, medium in size. Approx. 1 year old (October 2026). Playful and affectionate, is great with children and other dogs. Meet MitzyMitzy is a gorgeous dog with a sweet nature and a playful personality! This lovely girl is full of fun and affection, and she is ready to find a family of her very own. Mitzy gets along wonderfully with other dogs, people, and children, making her a fantastic addition to many different types of homes. She loves spending time playing with children, enjoying toys, and having fun with her doggy friends. She also enjoys her walks and is currently learning how to walk nicely on a lead. With a little patience and continued training, Mitzy is sure to grow into a wonderful companion. Mitzy can be cat tested if needed. Mitzy is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog when she is fully grown. Mitzy is one of 8 puppies rescued thanks to the kind sponsorship of a recent appeal. Her siblings are Demi, Zoey, Echo, Hank, Bandit, Watson, and Gus, and they are all looking for loving new homes too. The puppies were found in early December 2025 as two litters with their mums, who were both feral dogs living in a local graveyard. A kind young man who feeds the colony alerted one of our rescuers about the puppies, giving them the chance to be brought to safety. Now safe and cared for, Mitzy is hoping her forever family will find her soon. Could you be the happy ending Mitzy has been waiting for? Mitzy is vaccinated and negative on testing, and will be spayed before travel to the UK. All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Mitzy

What life with Mitzy looks like

Mitzy is a medium-sized 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 Mitzy, answered.

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