Dona

Female · Adult · 7 years

Get to know Dona! She arrived at the shelter with her friend Dolla. Unfortunately, she has a deformity in her front paw and is waiting for an operation. Before that, she needs a little weight gain. That's why we are looking for a temporary home where she can have peace and appropriate care. Dona and Dolla have lived together in an apartment and are used to a home life and living with people. It would be wonderful if someone could step forward to help Dona prepare for the operation. Maybe, even better, there is someone among you who would take both of them into their home... We miss Dona so much. Or do we? Please contact us at our e-mail address:

Upoznajte Donu! Došla nam je u sklonište zajedno sa prijateljicom Dolom. Nažalost, ima deformaciju prednje šape i čeka operaciju. Prije toga, treba malo smršavjeti. Zato joj tražimo privremeni dom u kojem bi mogla imati mir i odgovarajuću njegu. Dona i Dola zajedno su živjele u stanu pa su navikle na kućni život i suživot s ljudima.Bilo bi divno kada bi se javio netko tko bi Doni mogao pomoći u pripremi za operaciju. Možda, još bolje, među vama postoji netko tko bi obje primio u svoj dom… Previše maštamo. Ili ne? Javite nam se na e-adresu:

About Dona

What life with Dona looks like

Dona is a adult dog waiting at Dumovec in Zagreb.

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 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 Dona, answered.

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