Canine vector-borne diseases are caused by pathogens transmitted by arthropods including ticks, mosquitoes and sand flies. Many canine vector-borne diseases are of zoonotic importance. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of vector-borne infections caused by  Dirofilaria immitis ,  Ehrlichia canis ,  Borrelia burgdorferi  sensu lato,  Anaplasma  spp. and  Leishmania infantum  in a dog kennel in Argeș County, Romania. Dog kennels are shelters for stray dogs with no officially registered owners that are gathered to be neutered and/or boarded for national/international adoptions by various public or private organizations. The international dog adoptions might represent a risk in the transmission of pathogens into new regions. In this context, a total number of 149 blood samples and 149 conjunctival swabs from asymptomatic kennel dogs were assessed using serology and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Antibodies against  B. burgdorferi  s.l. were detected in one dog (0.6%), anti- Anaplasma  antibodies were found in five dogs (3.3%), while ten dogs (6.7%) tested positive for  D. immitis  antigen. Overall, 20.1% (30/149) of dogs were positive for  L. infantum  DNA. All samples were seronegative for anti- Leishmania  antibodies. When adopting dogs from this region of Romania, owners should be aware of possible infection with especially  L. infantum . The travel of infected dogs may introduce the infection to areas where leishmaniasis is not present.
