Adopt SHELDON

Mixed Breed · Male

Time passes, the world continues to turn, but for Sheldon, not much changes. SHELDON has been with us at the shelter for a long time and we must change this urgently! SHELDON is a distinctive male, beautiful long hair and sharp eyes. His home at the shelter is shared with a female he gets along with very well. He is cautious with people at first but once you get to know him, he becomes friendly towards you. He was born in 2018. SHELDON is not a dog for beginners, he doesn't like to be brushed and sudden activities. We don't recommend him with children. With our smart Sheldon, patience and experience are needed to understand him. One of the things SHELDON absolutely loves is water and the pool! When his people wash his box, SHELDON turns into a playful puppy that absolutely loves water and starts barking with joy and running under the water. He already walks quite well on a leash. SHELDON had surgery for a cranial cruciate ligament in April 2023, so we are looking for a home for him with few stairs and less physical activity. Microchip number: 191100002039632.

Vrijeme prolazi, svijet se nastavlja okretati, ali za Sheldona se ništa ne mijenja puno. Sheldon je dugo sa nama u skloništu i moramo to pod hitno promijeniti! Sheldon je karakteran mužjak, predivne duge dlake i bistrog pogleda. Svoj dom u skloništu dijeli sa kujicom sa kojom se odlično slaže. Sa ljudima je na prvu oprezan ali kada se upoznate postane prijateljski raspoložen prema vama. Rođen je 2018. godine. Sheldon nije pas za početnike, ne voli se četkati i nagle aktivnosti. Ne preporučamo ga sa djecom. Sa našim pametnim Sheldonom treba strpljenja i iskustva kako bi ga se razumjelo. Jedna od stvari koje Sheldon apsolutno obožava je voda i bazen! Kada njegovi ljudi peru njegov box, Sheldon se pretvori u zaigrano štene koje apsolutno obožava vodu i krene lajati od veselja i trčati pod vodu. Već prilično dobro hoda na povodcu. Sheldon je podvrgnut operaciji prednjeg križnog ligamenta u travnju 2023. stoga za njega tražimo dom bez previše stepenica i sa manje fizičke aktivnosti. Broj mikročipa: 191100002039632.

About SHELDON

What life with SHELDON looks like

SHELDON is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Udruga Spas Varaždin in Varaždin.

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.

🇭🇷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 SHELDON, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about SHELDON?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Udruga Spas Varaždin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw SHELDON on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt SHELDON if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Udruga Spas Varaždin 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 SHELDON 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 SHELDON 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 Udruga Spas Varaždin early rather than rehoming privately; they know SHELDON 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
