Sax

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 11 months

SaxMale dog. We think he is a pointer mix so will be medium sized when fully grown. Approx. 11 months old (October 2026). Playful pup who gets on well with other dogs. Meet SaxSax was found with his siblings Harp and Flute (also looking for homes) all alone on a back road in Serbia. It was freezing and they had no shelter so our lovely rescuer decided to help them. She had to trap them as they were understandably terrified. All three are now safe in a foster and are doing well. They are lovely pups who get along great with the other dogs. We think they are pointer mixes so will be medium sized when fully grown. Sax is the biggest and most confident but all will benefit from having another dog in the home to teach them the ropes. Sax is neutered, vaccinated and negative on tests. All our dogs are tested for the following prior to travel: Heartworm, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis (since 11th June 2021).

About Sax

What life with Sax looks like

Sax is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Balkan Underdogs in Tirana.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇦🇱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 Sax, answered.

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