Nori

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

NoriFemale dog, medium in size. Approx. 1 year old (October 2026). Smart and playful dog who loves people and playing with other dogs. Would suit an active familyMeet NoriAfter being hit by a car on the road beside the shelter, Nori ran towards the people who could help her. Her leg was broken, but thankfully it has healed and she is doing well now. Today, Nori is a lively young girl who loves running and playing with the other dogs. She is very active and would suit a home where she can enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime and opportunities to learn. Nori is extremely smart and picks up new things quickly. Teaching her new skills could be a lovely way to build a bond with her, alongside helping her settle into life in a home. She loves people and has so much enthusiasm to share. With her beautiful black coat and bright personality, Nori would make a lovely companion for someone who enjoys an active life. Her suitability for living with cats is not yet confirmed. She has previously been around cats without bothering them, but she has not had contact with them recently. Nora is vaccinated and negative on tests, and will be spayed before travel to the UK. 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 Nori

What life with Nori looks like

Nori 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 Nori, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nori?: 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 Nori on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nori 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 Nori 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 Nori 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 Nori 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
