How do I contact the shelter about John?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zaklada Bestie — Animalis Centrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw John on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt John if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zaklada Bestie — Animalis Centrum 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 John 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 John 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 Zaklada Bestie — Animalis Centrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know John and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

John

Mixed Breed · Male

John arrived at our shelter in March 2026 from an island near Sinj. When found, he couldn't stand on his legs, and a veterinary examination confirmed he had suffered a hit. Today, he has fully recovered and we are relieved to see him running and enjoying life again. Although we don't have exact information about his age, John is very active and vital for a dog of his years. He is a wonderful, lovable lab mix who adores balls and especially enjoys swimming in the sea. His enthusiasm and energy easily win over anyone who meets him. "Dida John" is a dog whom we wish to find a temporary or permanent home as soon as possible, as we do not want him to stay in the shelter for too long because he deserves a life full of love, safety, and attention. John's medical findings were at Animalis Centrum, a no-kill shelter, where he received all necessary veterinary care. He is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with an owner's card/ID issued. The animals under our protection seek a home in Croatia and internationally, but most importantly, we want them to find a safe, stable, and warm home. ❤️ If you are interested in adopting John, please fill out the application form linked below for his medical findings. Our references will contact you to discuss all the details and procedures of adoption. NOTE: Filling out the application form is not a reservation of the animal.

John je stigao u sklonište u ožujku 2026. godine iz Otoka kod Sinja. Kada je pronađen, nije mogao ustati na noge, a veterinarskim pregledima utvrđeno je da je pretrpio udarac. Danas se potpuno oporavio i presretni smo što ponovno trči i uživa u životu. Iako nemamo točne informacije o njegovoj dobi, John je vrlo aktivan i vitalan za psa svojih godina. Riječ je o predivnom, dragom psu, mješancu labradora, koji obožava loptice i posebno uživa u kupanju u moru. Njegova vedrina i energija lako osvajaju svakoga tko ga upozna. “Dida John” je pas kojemu želimo što prije pronaći privremeni ili trajni dom, ne želimo da dugo boravi u skloništu jer zaslužuje život ispunjen ljubavlju, sigurnošću i pažnjom. John se nalazi u NO KILL skloništu Animalis Centrum, gdje mu je osigurana sva potrebna veterinarska skrb. Već je kastriran, cijepljen i mikročipiran te ima izrađenu vlasničku knjižicu/putovnicu. Životinje pod našom zaštitom traže dom u Hrvatskoj i internacionalno, najvažnije nam je da pronađu siguran, stabilan i topao dom. ❤️ Ako ste zainteresirani za udomljenje Johna, molimo detaljno ispunite upitnik koji se nalazi na linku ispod. Naši referenti kontaktirat će vas kako bi razgovarali o svim detaljima i procedurama udomljavanja. NAPOMENA: Ispunjavanje upitnika nije ujedno i rezervacija životinje.

About John

What life with John looks like

John is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zaklada Bestie — Animalis Centrum in Kaštel Sućurac.

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.
