Franica

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Franica is only 10 months old and has already been in three shelters. That's why we can't blame her for being a bit cautious at first with people she meets for the first time. But give her some time and she will quickly show what she really is - a gentle, sweet and cheerful young female dog who craves security and closeness. She gets along very well with other dogs and their company means a lot to her. Franica is still practically a child. Her whole life is ahead of her and so much she has yet to experience - walks with her people, trips, play, a couch, carefree sleep and the feeling that she finally belongs somewhere. She will soon celebrate her first birthday. After three shelters in less than a year, the best gift we can imagine would be for her to celebrate it at home, with her family. We are looking for people who will give her what she has not had before - a little patience at the beginning and a home that she will never have to change again.

HR·Show original

Franica ima tek 10 mjeseci, a iza sebe već tri azila. Zato joj ne možemo zamjeriti što je prema ljudima koje prvi put upozna u početku malo oprezna. No dovoljno joj je dati malo vremena i vrlo brzo pokaže kakva je zapravo – nježna, draga i vesela mlada kujica željna sigurnosti i blizine. S drugim psima se jako lijepo slaže i njihovo joj društvo puno znači. Franica je još praktički dijete. Pred njom je cijeli život i toliko toga što tek treba upoznati – šetnje sa svojim ljudima, izlete, igru, kauč, bezbrižno spavanje i osjećaj da negdje napokon pripada. Uskoro će proslaviti svoj prvi rođendan. Nakon tri azila u manje od godinu dana, najljepši poklon koji možemo zamisliti bio bi da ga dočeka kod kuće, sa svojom obitelji. Tražimo joj ljude koji će joj pružiti ono što dosad nije imala – malo strpljenja na početku i dom koji više nikada neće morati mijenjati.

About Franica

What life with Franica looks like

Franica is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Azil Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇭🇷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 Franica, answered.

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