How do I contact the shelter about Sofi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Whispaws Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sofi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sofi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Whispaws Animal Sanctuary 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 Sofi 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 Sofi 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 Whispaws Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sofi 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 (SR). 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.

👉🏻 Meet Sofi, the brave little fighter with the biggest heart. ⚧️ Sex: Female 🎂 Age: Approx. 5 years old 🦴 Breed: Mixed 📏 Size: Medium 🐱 Cat friendly: Yes 🐕 Dog friendly: Yes 👶 Child friendly: Yes, loves children ⚡ Energy level: Average 🏡 Ideal home: A kind, supportive household that can continue her gentle care and therapy. Sofi thrives in a calm environment with love and patience. 🐾 Personality & Temperament 🐾 Sofi is truly one of the best dogs, she loves people, children, cats and other dogs. She is gentle, affectionate and a real cuddle bug. 💛 She walks nicely on a lead, though because of her residual disability she sometimes lies down. We wait for her, she gets up quickly, and then continues walking, repeating as needed. Sofi is well-socialised and is always a joy to be around. 📖 Sofi's Story 📖 Found abandoned in the Serbian countryside near Novi Sad, Sofi was gravely ill when rescued. She was diagnosed with Distemper and Heartworm, but she is a fighter! Through isolation, intensive treatment and lots of love, she has recovered from Distemper and is nearing full recovery from Heartworm. Once her results are clear, she will be ready to be prepared for travel. As a result of Distemper, Sofi has some residual neurological twitching, mostly in her legs, though it can occasionally affect her whole body. These movements have become less frequent and less severe over time and she continues vet-supervised therapy. Despite this, Sofi walks well, runs, plays and sleeps peacefully. She is happy, content and full of life.

About Sofi

What life with Sofi looks like

Sofi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Whispaws Animal Sanctuary in Serbia (UK-managed).

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 Serbia

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.
