Šaj

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Date of birth: April 20, 2021 Weight: Weighs approximately 20 kg. Description: Šaj is an exceptionally friendly and charming dog who somewhat resembles a Shar Pei with his unique appearance. He is lively, full of energy, and always ready for adventures. Sometimes the interesting smells lure him to pull the leash. Šaj loves to play and thoroughly enjoys it. In the animal shelter, he discovered how fun toys can be and often gets lost in them. He is not suitable for living with cats, poultry, and small animals, as this triggers his hunting instinct. Otherwise, he is very diligent in enclosed spaces. He is housebroken and does not destroy things. Šaj is suitable as the only pet in a home without other animals and without children. He needs an experienced owner. Šaj must wear a muzzle in public areas.

Datum rojstva : 20. 4. 2021 Teža: Tehta približno 20 kg. Opis: Šaj je izjemno simpatičen in očarljiv kuža, ki s svojo edinstveno pojavo nekoliko spominja na shar peia. Je živahen, poln energije in vedno pripravljen na dogodivščine. Včasih ga vznemirljive vonjave premamijo, da povleče povodec. Šaj rad je in nadvse uživa v igri. V zavetišču je odkril, kako zabavne so lahko igrače in se z njimi pogosto zamoti. Ni primeren za življenje z mački, perutnino in manjšimi živalmi, saj pri njem prebudijo lovski nagon. Sicer je v zaprtih prostorih zelo priden. Je sobno čist in ne uničuje stvari. Šaj je primeren kot edini hišni ljubljenček v domu brez drugih živali in brez otrok. Potrebuje izkušenega lastnika. Šaj mora na javnih površinah nositi nagobčnik.

About Šaj

What life with Šaj looks like

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

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.

Note from the shelter: High prey drive - not suitable for homes with cats, poultry, or small animals

🇸🇮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 Šaj, answered.

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