Jaka

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Jake is a young medium-sized dog who was found abandoned in Črnomelj. He is very reserved around people he doesn't know, so he needs an experienced owner who will continue his training and socialization. We are looking for a home where he will be the only pet, and he is not suitable for families with children. Potential adopters will need to visit Jake at the shelter several times to get to know him, and for him to get to know them. Date of birth: June 1, 2025

Opis : Jaka je mlad kuža srednje rasti, ki je bil najden zapuščen v Črnomlju. Ker je do ljudi, ki jih ne pozna zelo zadržan, išče izkušenega lastnika, ki bo nadaljeval z njegovo vzgojo in socializacijo. Zanj iščemo dom, kjer bo edini hišni ljubljenček, neprimeren je tudi za družine z otroki. Potencialni posvojitelji bodo Jakata morali večkrat obiskati v zavetišču, da spoznajo njega, on pa njih. Datum rojstva : 1. 6. 2025

About Jaka

What life with Jaka looks like

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

An young 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 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 Jaka, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jaka?
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 Jaka on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jaka 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 Jaka 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 Jaka 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 Jaka 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.
