Adopt Luca

Mixed Breed · Female

Luca arrived at the shelter in May 2026 from Kaštela, coming with Tot, which is the same litter that her recent puppies recently emerged from. Luca is a young female, weighing around 8 kg, who, despite challenging circumstances, has shown how caring and devoted a mother she is. She recently emerged the puppies, and now what they most need is a peaceful, safe, and stable environment to allow them to develop healthily and grow in their first weeks of life. The puppies will be small to medium-sized, and they will be ready to go to their permanent homes by mid-to-late July. At this moment, Luca and her baby need primarily peace, safety, and minimal stress, as well as a person who understands the importance of a proper start in life for the puppies. For their well-being, we are seeking a responsible and peaceful temporary foster family who can care for Luca and the puppies, provide them with a warm home, and stable conditions. Such care is key to their proper development, socialization, and eventual safe departure to permanent homes. Luce has medical findings at the NO KILL shelter Animalis Centrum and is under veterinary supervision. Her condition is monitored after the birth, as well as the puppies' development, and all will be adequately cared for and prepared for further steps. The animals under our protection seek a home in Croatia and internationally, and most importantly, we want them to find a safe, stable, and warm home. ❤️ If you are interested in temporary or permanent fostering Luce and her puppies, please thoroughly fill out the application form that includes her medical findings at the link below. Our references will contact you to discuss all the details and foster care options. NOTE: Filling out the application form is not a reservation of the animal.

Luca je stigla u sklonište u svibnju 2026. godine iz Kaštela, zajedno s Totom, riječ je o istoj kujici koja je nedavno okotila svoje štence. Luca je mlada ženka, teška oko 8 kg, koja je unatoč teškim okolnostima pokazala koliko je brižna i predana majka. Štence je okotila prije svega nekoliko dana i sada im je najpotrebnije mirno, sigurno i stabilno okruženje kako bi mogli zdravo napredovati i razvijati se u prvim tjednima života. Štenci će biti male do srednje veličine, a za odlazak u svoje trajne domove bit će spremni sredinom do kraja srpnja. U ovom trenutku Luca i njezina beba trebaju prvenstveno mir, sigurnost i minimalan stres, kao i osobu koja razumije važnost pravilnog početka života za štence. Zbog njihove dobrobiti, tražimo odgovornu i mirnu privremenu udomiteljsku obitelj koja bi mogla brinuti o Luca i štencima, pružiti im toplinu doma i stabilne uvjete. Takva skrb im je ključna za pravilan razvoj, socijalizaciju i kasniji siguran odlazak u trajne domove. Luce se nalazi u NO KILL skloništu Animalis Centrum i pod veterinarskim je nadzorom. Prati se njezino stanje nakon okota, kao i razvoj štenaca, te će svi biti adekvatno zbrinuti i pripremljeni za daljnje korake. Životinje pod našom zaštitom traže dom u Hrvatskoj i internacionalno, najvažnije nam je da pronađu siguran, stabilan i topao dom. ❤️ Ako ste zainteresirani za privremeno ili trajno udomljenje Luce i njezinih štenaca, molimo detaljno ispunite upitnik koji se nalazi na linku ispod. Naši referenti kontaktirat će vas kako bi razgovarali o svim detaljima i mogućnostima skrbi.NAPOMENA: Ispunjavanje upitnika nije ujedno i rezervacija životinje. S obzirom na njezino podrijetlo, Sophia se udomljava sukladno Pravilniku o opasnim psima – proglašena je potencijalno opasnom isključivo zbog rođenja kao mješanka pasmine bull, ne zbog svog ponašanja. Tražimo odgovorne udomitelje koji će poštovati sve zakonske obaveze, imati uvjete za držanje takvog psa i pružiti Sophiji siguran, stabilan i ispunjen dom. Ako mislite da je Sophia pas za vas, molimo ispunite naš upitnik na poveznici ispod. NAPOMENA: Ispunjavanje upitnika ne predstavlja rezervaciju životinje.

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luca, answered.

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