Adopt Dustin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Vaccination + Rabies Dustin is looking for his home Dustin waits at an animal shelter in Croatia for his chance. The ladies on site describe him as a very special young male dog with lots of energy. • Male dog • Approximately 1 year old (born around 12.12.2024) • Approximately 20 kg • Shoulder height approximately 53 cm Dustin was found on the street around New Year's Eve. Frightened by the fireworks, he wandered aimlessly and searched for shelter. Luckily, he was secured and is now safe. He is a burned, active, and inquisitive dog who enjoys exploring his surroundings. Dustin wants to discover the world and comes with corresponding energy. New situations can initially still overwhelm him a bit, so he might need a little time to settle in and relax. Especially important to know: Dustin is a little climbing artist. Therefore, a securely enclosed garden or good supervision during walks are necessary. He gets along well with other dogs and currently lives happily with a similarly sized male dog. How he reacts to cats, we still don't know – but we can certainly test this if there is serious interest. For Dustin, we wish active, patient people who enjoy showing him the world, working with him, and finally giving him a safe home. Who falls in love with this cute boy and gives him his forever-dog home?

Grundimmunisierung + Tollwut Dustin sucht sein Zuhause Dustin wartet in einem Tierheim in Kroatien auf seine Chance. Die Damen vor Ort beschreiben ihn als einen ganz besonderen jungen Rüden mit viel Lebensfreude. • Rüde • ca. 1,5 Jahre alt (geb. ca. 12.12.2024) • ca. 20 kg • ca. 53 cm Schulterhöhe Dustin wurde rund um Silvester auf der Straße gefunden. Verängstigt vom Feuerwerk lief er orientierungslos umher und suchte Schutz Zum Glück konnte er gesichert werden und ist seitdem in Sicherheit Er ist ein verschmuster, aktiver und neugieriger Hund, der seine Umgebung gerne erkundet. Dustin möchte die Welt entdecken und bringt entsprechend Energie mit. Neue Situationen können ihn anfangs noch etwas überfordern, daher braucht er vielleicht ein wenig Zeit, um richtig anzukommen und zu entspannen. Besonders wichtig zu wissen: Dustin ist ein kleiner Kletterkünstler Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten oder gute Sicherung beim Spaziergang sind daher Voraussetzung. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut und lebt aktuell problemlos mit einem gleich großen Rüden zusammen. Wie er auf Katzen reagiert, wissen wir noch nicht – können das bei ernsthaftem Interesse aber gerne testen. Für Dustin wünschen wir uns aktive, geduldige Menschen, die Spaß daran haben, ihm die Welt zu zeigen, mit ihm zu arbeiten und ihm endlich ein sicheres Zuhause schenken. Wer verliebt sich in diesen hübschen Jungen und schenkt ihm sein Für-immer-Körbchen? Anfrage für Dustin stellen Pate für Dustin werden

About Dustin

What life with Dustin looks like

Dustin is a small 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 Dustin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dustin?
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 Dustin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dustin 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 Dustin 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 Dustin 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 Dustin 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.
