Duke

Mixed Breed · Male

Duke is our 10-month-old giant Cane Corso with an exceptionally charming and heartwarming character. He loves to snuggle up to people and get the right amount of "petting" from them. He even prefers to find a toy in the enclosure and persistently invites you to play with it until you give in. However, he gets tired quickly with more activity and then takes some time to rest and recharge. In March, Duke was seized at the Slovenian-Croatian border along with other puppies. He has been used to company since he was little and gets along very well with other puppies. The long initial quarantine has left some uncertainty, so he is afraid of car rides, quite uncertain when meeting new places and sudden situations. Nevertheless, he is very calm and obedient with those he trusts, so we are looking for someone who will be able to build a trusting and secure relationship with him slowly and persistently. We want to find him a loving and responsible home where he will be a real family member and will receive the same attention as everyone else. Since he will grow into a large and strong dog, we are looking for an adopter who knows the specifics of the Cane Corso breed and understands its specifics. We will not give Duka away for living in a box or to people who want him only because of his appearance and breed. For all additional information about adoption, you can call us at 05 66 33 766 or , or write to us at . Donations With your support and donations, we enable animals to have a decent life. We accept monetary donations, equipment and food. Read more Volunteering We welcome volunteers who are willing to help and dedicate a part of their time for the benefit of animals. Every animal in our shelter receives the best care, we take care of them, monitor their progress. Read more Walking Dogs in our shelter is not just walking on a leash, but also entertainment, physical activity, socialization and genuine contact with a person. Read more Cat Trapping and Transportation We provide care and sterilization/castration for free-roaming cats and return them to the environment. We temporarily care for less prepared cats in the shelter and look for a new home.

Duke je naš 10-mesečni velikan pasme Cane corso, z izjemno prikupnim in srčnim značajem. Zelo rad se stisne k človeku in si pri njem pridobi ustrezno količino “čohanja”. Še rajši pa v izpustu poišče kakšno igračo, s katero te vztrajno vabi k igri, dokler se ne pustiš prepričati. Se pa ob večji aktivnosti tudi hitro utrudi in si nato vzame kar nekaj časa za počitek in nabiranje novih moči. Meseca marca je bil Duke zasežen na slovensko-hrvaški meji skupaj z drugimi mladički. Pri nas je tako že od majhnega navajen na družbo in se z drugimi psički zelo lepo razume. Dolga začetna karantena je vseeno pustila nekaj negotovosti, zato se recimo boji vožnje z avtomobilom, precej nesiguren je tudi ob spoznavanju novih krajev in ob nenadnih situacijah. Vseeno je z nami, ki nam zaupa, zelo miren in ubogljiv, zato zanj iščemo prav takšnega človeka, ki bo uspel z njim počasi in vztrajno zgraditi zaupen in siguren odnos. Želimo mu poiskati ljubeč in odgovoren dom, kjer bo čisto pravi družinski član in bo deležen enake pozornosti kot vsi ostali. Ker bo zrasel v velikega in močnega psa, si želimo posvojitelja, ki pozna posebnosti pasme Cane corso in razume njene specifike. Duka nikakor ne bomo oddali za bivanje v boksu ter ljudem, ki si ga želijo zgolj, zaradi njegovega izgleda in pasme. Za vse dodatne informacije o posvojitvi nas lahko pokličete na 05 66 33 766 ali , oziroma nam pišete na . Donacije S podporo in donacijami omogočamo živalim dostojno življenje. Sprejemamo denarne donacije, opremo in hrano. Preberi več Prostovoljno delo Veselimo se prostovoljcev, ki so pripravljeni pomagati in nameniti delček svojega časa v korist živali. Vsaka žival v našem zavetišču je deležna najboljše oskrbe, skrbimo zanje, spremljamo njihov napredek. Preberi več Sprehajanje Sprehajanje psov v našem zavetišču ni le vodenje na vrvici, temveč tudi popestritev, fizična aktivnost, socializacija in pristen stik s človekom. Preberi več Izlov in prevoz Prostoživečim mačkam zagotovimo oskrbo in sterilizacijo/kastracijo ter jih vrnemo v okolje. Manj pripravljene mačke začasno oskrbimo v zavetišču in iščemo nov dom.

About Duke

What life with Duke looks like

Duke is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Obalno zavetišče za zapuščene živali in Slovenia.

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 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 Duke, answered.

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