Adopt Rambo

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 8 years

Rambo once had a loving home and a best friend. Tragically, that is no longer the case, and he is searching for his new forever home. Rambo and his adoptive brother Jango lived all their life with a human who loved them very much. Two years ago that all changed for them. Their adopter died and they ended up in a public shelter where they were waiting for two years for someone to give them a second chance… Sadly, Jango recently passed away from cancer never getting that chance. Poor Rambo has now lost everyone he loved and knew, and is alone and scared. He is very active even though he is around 6-7 years old. His foster family describes him as: Rambo is a really perfect house dog, he is house trained, he loves being around all of us, including 2 children and 2 terrier female dog. I pop him in his room each day on his own for a period of time to make sure he stays in the habit of being shut into an area by himself and he just jumps up in his chair and sleeps. He loves a cuddle and will roll onto his back immediately for a belly rub or sleep and snore.In cars he travels quietly, no barking or whining.Feed time his bowl is put down last and he waits for it and he’s equally good with treats.He walks nicely on a lead and isn’t phased by anything we’ve passed so far including other dogs.He’s really sweet at playing tuggy with people or dogs – he tugs as hard as he can but when the other lets go he immediately stops and steps to them so they can take the tuggy again.He sleeps in his room at night and just sleeps on his chair until morning with no fuss, if you lay in longer than he does and he needs to wee (about half 7/8) he’ll bark but just once to let you know he’s there!

About Rambo

What life with Rambo looks like

Rambo is a small adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Strays Without Borders in Skopje.

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 North Macedonia

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 Rambo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rambo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Strays Without Borders handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rambo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rambo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Strays Without Borders 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Rambo 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 Rambo 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 Strays Without Borders early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rambo 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.
