How do I contact the shelter about Lex?

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 Lex on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lex 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 Lex 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 Lex 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 Lex 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.

Adopt Lex

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Lex is an older dog who was surrendered to the animal shelter in the fall. He is 9 years old and despite a difficult past, he is friendly and calm. Lex has a special story, as his previous owners adopted him from Belgrade, where he was found with bullets in his body and shot. Despite these horrors, Lex has kept a friendly nature towards people. Lex is friendly with children and strangers and is suitable for a family dog. Although he does not play much, he enjoys human company and is used to living in an apartment. He is housebroken and does not destroy things. On a leash, he is well-behaved and calm, which allows pleasant and relaxing walks. However, one must be careful, as Lex can be reactive to cars and cyclists. In addition, he can be reactive to other animals, so he should be the only pet in the household. Lex is afraid of loud noises and thunder, which requires additional care and patience in these situations. Also, he is allergic to chicken, so it is important to pay attention to his diet. Lex is looking for a loving home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and attention. He is looking for a family that will provide him with warmth, care, and security, which he deserves. If you are looking for a loyal and loving dog who is used to living in an apartment and enjoys human company, Lex is the perfect choice for you. Help Lex find his forever home, where he can spend his days in peace and happiness. Weight: about 20 kg Date of birth: 28. 2.

Read original (sl)

Lex je starejši pes, ki je bil na jesen življenja predan v zavetišče. Star je 9 let in kljub težki preteklosti je prijazen in umirjen. Lex ima posebno zgodbo, saj so ga prejšnji lastniki posvojili iz Beograda, kjer je bil najden z metki po telesu in povožen. Kljub tem grozotam je Lex ohranil prijazno naravo do ljudi. Lex je prijazen do otrok in tujcev in je primeren za družinskega psa. Čeprav se ne igra veliko, uživa v človeški družbi in je navajen bivanja v stanovanju. Je sobno čist in ne uničuje stvari. Na povodcu je lepo vodljiv in miren, kar omogoča prijetne in sproščujoče sprehode. Vendar je treba biti previden, saj je Lex lahko reaktiven na avtomobile in kolesarje. Poleg tega je lahko reaktiven do vseh ostalih živali, zato bi moral biti edini ljubljenček v gospodinjstvu. Lex se boji močnih pokov in grmenja, kar zahteva dodatno skrb in potrpežljivost v teh situacijah. Prav tako je alergičen na piščanca, zato je pomembno paziti na njegovo prehrano. Lex išče ljubeč dom, kjer bo lahko preživel svoja zlata leta obkrožen z ljubeznijo in pozornostjo. Išče družino, ki mu bo nudila toplino, skrb in varnost, ki si jo zasluži. Če iščete zvestega in ljubečega psa, ki je navajen življenja v stanovanju in uživa v človeški družbi, je Lex popolna izbira za vas. Pomagajte Lexu najti njegov za vedno dom, kjer bo lahko preživel svoje dni v miru in sreči. Teža: okoli 20 kg Datum rojstva : 28. 2. 2015

About Lex

What life with Lex looks like

Lex is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Zavetišče Ljubljana in Ljubljana.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Allergic to chicken, reactive to cars and bicycles, fearful of loud noises and thunder, should be only pet

🇸🇮Adopting from Slovenia
