Roll

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Roll arrived at the shelter emaciated and with a gaze full of sadness. Behind him was a past that no dog should have to endure. However, it only took a little love for him to regain trust in people and show how big a heart he has inside. Today, Roll is a happy, gentle and incredibly devoted dog who loves people and affection. He takes every opportunity to lie down and seek more touch. He is playful, cheerful and enjoys walks, and his cheerful spirit brings a smile to everyone. Unfortunately, the scars of the past are still visible in some places. Roll guards his food bowl because the fear of hunger has never completely left him - every meal is precious to him. Roll deserves a family that will give him so much love that it will forever replace all the bad things he never had to experience.

HR·Show original

Roll je u sklonište stigao izgladnjeo do kostiju i pogleda punog tuge. Iza njega je prošlost kakvu nijedan pas ne bi smio doživjeti. No, bilo je potrebno tek malo ljubavi da ponovno povjeruje ljudima i pokaže koliko veliko srce nosi u sebi. Danas je Roll sretan, nježan i neizmjerno privržen pas koji obožava ljude i maženje. Svaku priliku koristi da se baci na leđa i traži još koji dodir. Razigran je, veseo i uživa u šetnjama, a svojim veselim duhom svakome izmami osmijeh. Nažalost, tragovi prošlosti još su ponegdje vidljivi. Roll čuva svoju zdjelicu hrane jer ga strah od gladi nikada nije potpuno napustio — svaki obrok za njega je dragocjen. Roll zaslužuje obitelj koja će mu pružiti toliko ljubavi da zauvijek nadomjesti sve ono ružno što nikada nije smio proživjeti.

About Roll

What life with Roll looks like

Roll is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar in Zadar.

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 Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roll, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roll?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roll on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roll if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar 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 Roll 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 Roll 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 Sklonište za napuštene životinje Zadar early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roll 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 (HR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
