How do I contact the shelter about Zajruzs?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Malá farma handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zajruzs on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Zajruzs if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Malá farma 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 Zajruzs 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 Zajruzs 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 Malá farma early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zajruzs 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Zajruzs

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Our beautiful huge cat Zajruzs was rescued thanks to the Happy Dog shelter, which managed to catch the frightened animal on a farm where it had hidden from the dangerous world. Zajruzs had dozens of kilometers in his paws and ran away from his unfortunate life - so that one day he could be a full member of a family. Someone mentioned that the dog had been wandering for several days, others saw him only briefly and unfortunately even after being caught by an unknown person, he returned back to the forest - from where he again escaped. He was supposed to guard the wood and they bought him for a few coins from a cottage, but he was not a good guarding dog there. However, the forest was enough for him - so that no one could get to the wood! The fates of large dogs are always a lure for people who do not know how to create conditions for their lives, and often they have the hardest lives! Big dogs with enormous characters and even bigger hearts often survive - spending their entire lives on chains! Or they are considered "useless" like our Zajruzs and are moved to colonies! Zajruzs had dozens of ticks in his fur, which caused an unwanted anaplasmosis. Zajruzs is a dog of one man. He is nervous around strangers and does not need happiness from them. We would define him as a watchdog, certainly not as a guard dog. Zajruzs is suitable for a family without small children who would stress him. Zajruzs loves walks and goes at a human pace on a leash. For Zajruzsa we are looking for a family home with a well-secured garden, definitely not a kennel run / company / chain and the like! The future family must take into account the time of acclimatization, as well as the fact that Zaruzs refuses kibble and expects meat (salami / can) in his bowl every day. Zajruzs is fed twice a day because he needs to gain weight. Our big guy has great hygiene habits. Zajruzsa is adopted after successful treatment of anaplasmosis, but already now you should consider whether he is the one you are looking for.

Náš nádherný obrovský macko Zajruzs bol zachránený vďaka Útulku šťastný psík, ktorým sa ho splašeného podarilo odchytiť na družstve, kde sa pred nebezpečným svetom utiahol. Zajruzs mal desiatky kilometrov v labkách a utiekol pred svojím nešťastným životom – aby raz mohol byť plnohodnotným členom rodinky. Niekto spomínal, že sa psík túla už pár dní, iní zase ho videli len chvíľku a žiaľ aj po odchyte neznámou osobou sa vrátil späť rómom – odkiaľ zase ušiel. Mal strážiť drevo a kúpili si ho za pár drobných zo salaša, kde však nebol dobrým strážnym psom. Rómom však stačil na to – aby sa nik nedostal ku drevu ! Osudy veľkých psov sú stále akým si lákadlom pre ľudí, ktorí týmto psom nevedia nie len vytvoriť podmienky pre život, ale mnoho krát majú tie najťažšie životy ! Obrie psy s obrovským charakterom a ešte väčším srdcom mnoho krát prežijú – živoria celé svoje životy na reťaziach ! Alebo sú tie “ zbytočné” ako bol aj náš Zajruzs posúvané do osád ! Zajruzs mal v kožúšku desiatky kliešťov, ktoré mu spôsobili neželanú anaplazmózu. Zajruzs je pes jedného pána. Z cudzích ľudí je nervózny a ku šťastiu ich vôbec nepotrebuje. Definovali by sme ho ako hlásiča, istotne nie ako psa na stráženie. Zajruzs je vhodný do rodinky bez malých detí, ktoré by ho znervózňovali. Zajruzs miluje vychádzky a na vodítku ide tempom človeka. Pre Zajruzsa hľadáme rodinný dom s dobre zabezpečenou záhradou, istotne nie koterec / firmu / reťaz a pod ! Budúca rodinka musí počítať s časom aklimatizácie, rovnako ako aj s faktom, že Zaruzs odmieta granule a v jeho miske denne očakáva mäsko ( salámu / konzervu ). Zajruzs je kŕmený dva krát denne nakoľko potrebuje ešte pribrať na svojej váhe. Náš obríček má krásne zvládnuté hygienické návyky. Zajruzsa adoptujeme po úspešnej liečbe anaplazmózy, avšak už teraz môžte uvažovať nad tým či práve on je ten, ktorého hľadáte. Zajruzsa je možné podporiť aj finančne, na veterinárne úkony a stravu.

About Zajruzs

What life with Zajruzs looks like

Zajruzs is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Malá farma in Slovakia.

An young 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.
