Zlaja

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Zlaja Profile Gender: male / neutered Date of Birth: May 2022 (estimated) Size: approx. 50-53 cm, 18-20 kg compatibility with others: cannot be tested with cats: sadly, this cannot be tested on-site Hello everyone, I am the wonderful Zlaja! I have been living on the streets for a while and was especially popular among the children there. We cuddled, played, and spent a lot of time together – until neighbors complained and threatened to harm me if I didn’t finally disappear. 🥺 Concerned, the parents of the children asked for help to save me, and so I moved into the animal shelter Neverland. The goodbye was tearful, but my favorite children still come to visit me often. ☺️ I have settled in well here and am happy to be safe and surrounded by such loving people who only want the best for me. But I also know how much more there is to discover outside the animal shelter, out there in the world. I am curious and smart, having learned a lot on the streets to survive – but now I long to finally find a home of my own. Of course, with many shared, fun adventures! 😍🎉 I want to be able to arrive somewhere without ever being chased away again. To explore the world with my people, without having to fear for my life. To learn countless, wonderful new things – because I may be street-smart, but I have no idea about family life yet. 😅 And most importantly: I want to be able to cuddle and be loved, and to be loved back in return forever. Do you think you are the perfect person for me? Then please get in touch and ask about Zlaja! I can hardly wait for our shared life to finally begin.

Zlaja Steckbrief Geschlecht: männlich / kastriert Geburtsdatum: 05/2022 (geschätzt) Größe: ca. 50-53 cm, 18-20 kg Verträglichkeit mit Katzen: kann vor Ort leider nicht getestet werden Hallo zusammen, ich bin der wunderschöne Zlaja! Ich habe eine ganze Weile auf der Straße gelebt und war dort vor allem bei den Kindern sehr beliebt. Wir haben geschmust, gespielt und viel Zeit miteinander verbracht – bis Nachbarn sich beschwerten und drohten, mir etwas anzutun, sollte ich nicht endlich verschwinden. 🥺 Besorgt baten die Eltern der Kinder um Hilfe, um mich zu retten, und so zog ich ins Tierheim Neverland ein. Der Abschied war tränenreich, doch meine Lieblingskinder kommen mich noch immer oft besuchen. ☺️ Ich habe mich hier gut eingelebt und bin froh, in Sicherheit zu sein und so liebe Menschen um mich zu haben, die nur das Beste für mich wollen. Doch ich weiß auch, wie viel mehr es dort draußen, außerhalb vom Tierheim, zu entdecken gibt. Ich bin neugierig und schlau, habe auf der Straße viel gelernt, um mich dort durchschlagen zu können – doch ich sehne mich nun danach, endlich in einer ganz eigenen Familie zur Ruhe kommen zu dürfen. Mit vielen gemeinsamen, lustigen Abenteuern natürlich! 😍🎉 Ich will ankommen dürfen, ohne je wieder fortgejagt zu werden. Gemeinsam mit meinen Menschen die Welt entdecken, ohne Angst um mein Leben haben zu müssen. Viiiele, viele tolle neue Dinge lernen – denn ich bin zwar streetsmart, vom Familienleben habe ich aber noch echt keine Ahnung. 😅 Und ganz wichtig: Ich will kuscheln und lieben dürfen und ganz genauso zurückgeliebt werden. Für immer. Glaubst du, dass DU der perfekte Mensch für mich bist? Dann melde dich doch bitte schnell und frag nach Zlaja! Ich kann kaum erwarten, dass unser gemeinsames Leben endlich startet.

About Zlaja

What life with Zlaja looks like

Zlaja is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stray Dogs Bosnien e.V. in Schwabach.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zlaja, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zlaja?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stray Dogs Bosnien e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zlaja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zlaja if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stray Dogs Bosnien e.V. 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 Zlaja 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 Zlaja 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 Stray Dogs Bosnien e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zlaja 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 (DE). 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.
