Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Buddy is just one year old and is one of those dogs that you quickly realize has a lot to offer. He is smart, learns quickly, follows people and enjoys working with them. He is extremely attached to people and loves their company. He gets along well with other dogs, walks nicely on a leash, and we had the opportunity to take him into the city, among cars, people, sounds and situations that are not part of his daily life in the shelter. Buddy impressed us - he behaved as if he had always known such a life. He is active, young and eager for life, so we are looking for people who want a dog that will be a real member of the family and their companion in everyday adventures. Buddy has all the prerequisites to become a fantastic family dog. He is missing only the most important thing - someone who will look at him and decide that he will never sleep behind the fence of the shelter again.

HR·Show original

Buddy ima tek godinu dana i jedan je od onih pasa za koje vrlo brzo shvatite koliko toga imaju za ponuditi. Pametan je, brzo uči, prati čovjeka i uživa u suradnji. Izrazito je privržen ljudima i njihovo društvo jednostavno obožava. Odlično se slaže i s drugim psima, lijepo hoda na povodcu, a imali smo ga priliku povesti i u grad, među automobile, ljude, zvukove i situacije koje mu u azilu nisu svakodnevica. Buddy nas je oduševio – ponašao se kao da je takav život oduvijek poznavao. Aktivan je, mlad i željan života, pa tražimo ljude koji žele psa koji će biti pravi član obitelji i njihov suputnik u svakodnevnim avanturama. Buddy ima sve predispozicije da postane fantastičan obiteljski pas. Nedostaje mu samo ono najvažnije – netko tko će ga pogledati i odlučiti da više nikada neće spavati iza ograde azila.

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Azil Dubrovnik in Croatia.

An young 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 Buddy, answered.

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