Julien

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Julien was found walking between two villages with a chain embedded in his neck. He is a bit older dog who probably spent his entire life so far on a chain. The wound on his neck has already healed nicely and Julien is enjoying freedom and a pain-free life at the shelter. Julien was probably also beaten, because he sometimes gets scared of strangers or certain sounds and objects. When someone adopts him, he becomes a lovely dog who likes to walk and run. He does not know how to play, sometimes even gets scared of toys, but he loves treats even more. Julien is waiting at the shelter for his new family, his second chance to finally live happily. He is not aggressive towards dogs, but he should be introduced carefully. Due to his past, we do not recommend him for families with children. Suitable for a house with access to the outside.

SK·Show original

Julien sa našiel potulovať medzi dvoma obcami s reťazou vrastenou do krku. Je to trošku starší psík, ktorý zrejme celý svoj doterajší život prežil na reťazi. Rana na krku sa mu už krásne zahojila a Julien si v útulku užíva voľnosť a život bez bolesti. Julien zrejme musel byť aj bitý, lebo sa niekedy cudzích ľudí alebo istých zvukov, vecí zľakne. Keď si ho človek získa tak sa z Juliena stane milý psík, ktorý sa rád jaší, behá. Hrať sa síce nevie, niekedy sa zľakne aj hračiek, ale za to o to viac miluje pamlsky. Julien už v útulku čaká na svoju novú rodinu, na svoju druhú šancu, aby konečne žil šťastne. Na psíkov nie je agresívny, treba ho však zoznamovať opatrne. Kvôli jeho minulosti k deťom veľmi neodporúčame. Vhodný dnu s prístupom von.

About Julien

What life with Julien looks like

Julien is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo in Slovakia.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇸🇰Adopting from Slovakia

Slovak rescue groups coordinate cross-border transport with European partners. Animals are chipped and vaccinated; sterilization is often included for adults and arranged post-adoption for puppies/kittens.

Frequently asked

Adopting Julien, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Julien?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Julien on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Julien if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Julien 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 Julien 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 OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Julien 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 (SK). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
