Frodo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Date of birth: 15. 1. 2021 Frodo is a very energetic dog who experiences a lot of stress in the animal shelter, which is probably the reason for his hyperactivity. He is reactive to other dogs and may chase cats and wildlife, but he can also be reactive to people. He is looking for an owner who is able to physically and mentally handle his intense nature. He needs an experienced handler who will set clear boundaries and raise him consistently. Frodo is eagerly waiting to meet his new handler, who will guide him with a firm but loving hand. It will take several visits to the animal shelter for him to get used to and accept his new caregiver.

Datum rojstva: 15. 1. 2021 Frodo je zelo energičen pes, ki v zavetišču doživlja veliko stresa, kar je verjetno vzrok za njegovo hiperaktivnost. Je reaktiven na druge pse ter bi preganjal mačke in divjad, lahko pa je reaktiven tudi do ljudi. Išče lastnika, ki bo sposoben fizično in psihično obvladati njegovo intenzivno naravo. Potrebuje izkušenega vodnika, ki mu bo postavil jasne meje in ga dosledno vzgajal. Frodo že nestrpno pričakuje, da spozna svojega novega vodnika, ki ga bo vodil s trdno, a ljubečo roko. Potrebnih bo več obiskov v zavetišču, da se navadi in sprejme svojega novega skrbnika.

About Frodo

What life with Frodo looks like

Frodo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zavetišče Ljubljana in Ljubljana.

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.

Note from the shelter: Hyperactive due to shelter stress, reactive to dogs and people, needs consistent training and clear boundaries

🇸🇮Adopting from Slovenia

Slovenian shelters follow EU pet passport requirements rigorously and coordinate with Italian, Austrian, and German rescue partners. Animals are fully vetted before leaving.

Frequently asked

Adopting Frodo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frodo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zavetišče Ljubljana handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Frodo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frodo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zavetišče Ljubljana 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 Frodo 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 Frodo 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 Zavetišče Ljubljana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Frodo 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 (SL). 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.
