Grof

Male

Grof appeared on the streets of our city half a year ago, and while he was only asking passersby for a little food, he ended up in a shelter in very poor conditions. There, they incorrectly neutered him, and did not properly tie the blood vessel that caused internal bleeding and would have quickly led to septic shock had seven women not joined together and decided to save him. Grof was quickly rescued from the shelter and taken to the veterinarian for a revision of the neutering. It was then that Grof received his name, which shows his strength and the size of his spirit. The next two months he was on antibiotic therapy, received all the necessary love and attention, and just when we thought he had fully recovered, the consequences of his time in the shelter and on the street returned again, and Froo was diagnosed with leishmaniasis. His battle began anew. With the help of proper veterinary care and our love, attention, and effort, Grof survived and is now completely healthy and waiting for his family! His story is one of resilience and perseverance, which deserves a happy ending!

SR·Show original

Grof se pre pola godine pojavio na ulicama našeg grada i dok je od prolaznika tražio samo malo hrane završio je u azilu u veoma lošim uslovima. Tamo su ga, ovako velikog i „strašnog“, nestručno kastrirali i nisu podvezali dobro krvni sud koji je izazvao unutrašnje krvarenje i ubrzo bi doveo i do septičnog šoka da se sedam žena nije udružilo i rešilo da ga spase. Grof je brzo izbavljen iz azila i odveden kod veterinara da bi se učinila revizija kastracije. Tada Grof i dobija svoje ime, koje pokazuje njegovu snagu i veličinu duha. Naredna dva meseca je bio na antibiotskoj terapiji, dobijao je svu potrebnu ljubav i pažnju, i taman kada smo mislile da se potpuno oporavio, posledice njegovog boravka u azilu i na ulici se pojavljuju ponovo i Grofu je dijagnostikovana krpeljska bolest. Njegova borba počinje iznova. Uz pomoć adekvatne veterinarske nege i naše ljubavi, pažnje i truda Grof je preživeo i sada je potpuno zdrav i čeka svoju porodicu! Njegova priča je priča o izdržljivosti i upornosti, koja zaslužuje srećan kraj!

About Grof

What life with Grof looks like

Grof is a adult dog waiting at Šape Smedereva in Smederevo.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Grof, answered.

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