Nancy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

NancyLarger mixed breed female, around 25kg. Approx. 8 years old (June 2026). Very affectionate and loves playing with smaller dogs. Meet NancyNancy is a lovely dog. She used to live on the streets of the town of Topola until she was taken in by a hoarder woman during the COVID pandemic. She spent about three years in captivity before being rescued by Balkan Underdogs. Nancy is a very affectionate and obedient dog who is strongly attached to people. She is used to mixing with smaller breed dogs so it would be ideal for her to be adopted by a family with smaller dogs or no pets. She might struggle to live with a similar sized dog. Nancy is a very clean dog and is leash-trained, which makes her a great match for a family that enjoys going for walks. Despite spending a long time in captivity, it has left no negative effects on her - she is a wonderful and fantastic dog! All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Nancy

What life with Nancy looks like

Nancy is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Balkan Underdogs in Tirana.

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 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 Nancy, answered.

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