When she first arrived, she was extremely dirty and needed several baths to remove all the built-up dirt from her coat. Despite everything she had been through, Uma loved every bath and enjoyed all the care and attention she received. From the very beginning, Uma has shown us what a special girl she is. She has a kind, loving heart, a friendly nature and a wonderful temperament. She has settled in beautifully, gets along well with other dogs and brings happiness wherever she goes.

About Uma

What life with Uma looks like

Uma is a small 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" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΈAdopting 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 β€” confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Uma, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Uma?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Whispaws Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Uma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Uma if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Uma 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Uma isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Whispaws Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Uma 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 β€” 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.
