Adopt Denis

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Vaccination and rabies Denis seeks his home The much-loved Denis is currently waiting at an animal shelter in Croatia for his human family • male dog • approximately 1 year old (born around 12.12.2024) • approximately 25 kg • shoulder height approximately 55 cm • mixed breed The loving staff at the animal shelter write: Denis was found on the street in November last year. When we just returned from the vet, he suddenly jumped in front of our car, completely terrified and disoriented. Of course, we couldn't leave him behind – since then, he's been in our care. Denis is a very gentle, lovable dog. At first, he's shy and needs some time to build trust and relax. Once he's opened his heart, he shows his cuddly, curious, and very friendly side. He gets along well with other dogs – currently, he lives comfortably with a male dog of similar size. We don't know how he reacts to cats yet, but we can test this if there's serious interest. For Denis, we wish for patient and loving people who can give him security and show him that the world can be beautiful. He wants to finally arrive, belong, and be loved. Who will give this special boy his forever home?

Grundimmunisierung + Tollwut Denis sucht sein Zuhause Der so liebe Denis, wartet derzeit in einem Tierheim in Kroatien auf seine Menschen • Rüde • ca. 1,5 Jahre alt (geb. ca. 12.12.2024) • ca. 25 kg • ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe • Mischling Die lieben Mitarbeiter des Tierheims schreiben: Denis wurde im November letzten Jahres auf der Straße gefunden. Als wir gerade vom Tierarzt zurückkamen, sprang er plötzlich völlig verängstigt und orientierungslos vor unser Auto. Natürlich konnten wir ihn nicht zurücklassen – seitdem ist er bei uns in Sicherheit. Denis ist ein ganz sanfter, lieber Hund. Anfangs ist er schüchtern und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich zu entspannen. Hat er sein Herz einmal geöffnet, zeigt er seine verschmuste, neugierige und sehr freundliche Seite. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut – aktuell lebt er problemlos mit einem Rüden seiner Größe zusammen. Wie er auf Katzen reagiert, wissen wir noch nicht, können dies bei ernsthaftem Interesse aber gerne testen. Für Denis wünschen wir uns geduldige und liebevolle Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben und ihm zeigen, dass die Welt auch schön sein kann. Er möchte endlich ankommen, dazugehören und geliebt werden.

About Denis

What life with Denis looks like

Denis is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ankerhunde e.V. in Novi Grad.

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 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 Denis, answered.

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