Zoro

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Description: Zoro is a medium-sized dog with a shiny coat of black and brown color. Before coming to the animal shelter, he lived in very poor conditions, which is probably the cause of his severe reactivity towards strangers. At the animal shelter we have already accustomed him to wearing a harness, but the new owner will have to do a lot of work on his further socialization and training. Fortunately, Zoro is an obedient and trainable dog who likes to obey his owner and is eager to please. On a leash he does not pull and is a medium active dog. He gets along well with other dogs and gladly plays with them, while leaving cats alone. He is very playful and likes to chase balls. Weighs about 25 kg. Date of birth: 11. 1.

Opis : Zoro je srednje velik kuža, ki ga krasi sijoč kožušček črno-rjave barve. Pred prihodom v zavetišče je živel v zelo slabih razmerah, kar je verjetno vzrok njegove hude reaktivnosti do tujih ljudi. V zavetišču smo ga navadili na nošenje nagobčnika, bo pa novi vodnik moral veliko delati na njegovi nadaljnji socializaciji in šolanju. K sreči je Zoro vodljiv in učljiv pes, ki rad ustreže svojemu vodniku in je željan crkljanja. Na povodcu ne vleče in je srednje aktiven pes. Z drugimi psi se dobro razume in se z veseljem z njimi poigra, mačke pa pusti pri miru. Zelo je ješč in se rad podi za žogicami. Tehta okoli 25 kg. Datum rojstva : 11. 1. 2022

About Zoro

What life with Zoro looks like

Zoro is a large 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. 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.

Note from the shelter: Requires muzzle training due to reactivity with strangers. Needs extensive socialization work.

🇸🇮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 Zoro, answered.

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