Girius

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Some dogs have only a name, and this gentleman has even two names. Some call him Rex, others Gerry, and some just "diedukas." We don't know and never will find out if this gentleman was happy or loved in his previous home... After his owner's death, he became unnecessary... His arrival story: We'll show some forgotten winter photos of him and briefly tell about him. Now, Rex Girius is staying with us. He isn't very happy here, because he doesn't like being locked up, he just wants to follow people he likes. Through the fence, he looks very angry and would really bite if you put your hand in, but when you visit him, he becomes extremely kind. As soon as you stroke him, he starts to keep putting his head under your hand, wants to snuggle and be with a person. He really likes to go for walks, explore the surroundings, and bark at other dogs. He doesn't know how to walk nicely on a leash, always dragging it. He is an old gentleman, but he can still learn a lot, it just requires willingness, time and patience. We know that there is very little hope for this dog to find new home, but we still believe that someone can love him and take him into their home. Weight about 23 kg. Large Age 11 years 2 months.

Vieni šunys turi tik vardą, o šis senjoras turi net du vardus. Vieni vadina jį Reksu, kiti Girium, na o treti tiesiog dieduku. Nežinome ir jau nesužinosime ar buvusiuose namuose šis senjoras buvo laimingas, ar buvo mylimas… Po šeimininko mirties jis tapo nereikalingu… Jo atvykimo istorija: Parodysime kelias užmirštas dar žiemiškas jo nuotraukas ir trumpai apie jį papasakosime. Dabar Reksas Girius įsikūrė pas mus. Nėra jis čia labai laimingas, nes nepatinka būti uždarytam, nes jis nori tik sekioti paskui jam patinkančius žmones. Per tvorą jis atrodo labai piktas ir kišant ranką tikrai įkastų, bet užėjus pas jį į svečius jis tampa be galo mielas. Vos jį paglosčius, jis pradeda ir toliau kišti savo galvą po ranka, vis nori prisiglausti ir būti su žmogumi. Jam labai patinka eiti pasivaikščioti, tyrinėti aplinką ir loti ant kitų šunų. Jis nemoka gražiai eiti vedamas su pavadžiu, visą laiką tempia. Jis jau senjoras, bet jį dar galima daug ko išmokiti, tam tik reikia noro, laiko ir kantrybės. Žinome, kad labai mažai vilties tokiam šuniui surasti naujus namus, bet vis dar tikime, kad kažkas gali jį pamilti ir priimti į savo namus. Svoris apie 23 kg. Didelis Amžius 11 m. 2 mėn.

About Girius

What life with Girius looks like

Girius is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SOS Gyvūnai in Šalčininkų r. sav..

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 Lithuania

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 Girius, answered.

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