Breed: Mix. Gender: Male. Date of birth: June 2022. Height: 60 cm. Weight: 24 kgIn a shelter from: October 2022Family in the shelter: Brother: Bonito; In October 2022, we found Aris and his brother Bonito in the forest near our shelter. Sadly, we suspect they had been abandoned by heartless people and left to fend for themselves. Both boys were suffering from parvovirus, a serious and potentially life-threatening disease. Our veterinary team immediately began treatment, and fortunately, both brothers survived. However, their long recovery, along with painful treatments, needles, and encounters with unfamiliar people, left them a little shy and cautious. Bonito and Aris may need some extra time and patience to feel safe around new people, but beneath their shyness are two sweet souls who are learning to trust again. They allow themselves to be petted and, with kindness, understanding, and love, we believe they can continue to blossom. Now, we dream of finding them loving families who will see beyond their fears and accept them just as they are. They don’t need perfection – they simply need people with kind hearts who will give them the time they need, a safe place to call home, and the chance to experience all the happiness a dog deserves.

About Aris

What life with Aris looks like

Aris is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Rescue Bosnia in Bosnia.

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.

🇧🇦Adopting from Bosnia and Herzegovina

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aris?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Rescue Bosnia handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aris if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Rescue Bosnia 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Aris 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 Aris 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 Animal Rescue Bosnia early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aris 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
