Adopt Sharko

Male

Background Sharko was a stray who was found on the Macedonian streets with a broken leg, in a very poor condition.He was taken to the vet immediately and they did an x-ray, 5D test, test for distemper, bloodwork and a biochemical analysis. Thankfully, the results came out good, except that he had a broken leg and a skin condition that needed treatment. Sharko has been with us for a very long time. His skin has recovered, his lovely long fur is now soft and beautiful and his leg has healed – he does have a limp because of the severity of the fracture, but he is in no pain and it does not seem to bother him. Likes Sharko is a very friendly, happy boy in spite of everything he went through. He loves people, is great with kids and just wants love and attention. He gets on very well with other dogs and is gentle around cats too. Dislikes and issues With all the things Sharko went through, there is no doubt he has scars on his sweet soul, but he is a lovely boy and we have not seen any issues. He will need patient, gentle introduction to life in a home, but with his good nature he will love the comfort of a loving, caring home, and soon catch up for lost time. Ideal home We don’t know Sharko’s age, but considering the horrors he has experienced, we would like him to get a home where he will get all the love, care and attention this sweet boy never had in his life before. And just imagine how he will shine when his coat gets a good grooming! Sharko can live with another sweet natured dog of gentle disposition, he is easy around cats, and he likes dog savvy children. Sharko loves to be outside, so a house with a spacious garden would be ideal. Sharko is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

About Sharko

What life with Sharko looks like

Sharko is a medium-sized adult 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 Sharko, answered.

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