MATO

Mixed Breed · Male

MATO is our big beautiful dog, born in 2022 and 60cm tall. We would like him to finally discover life outside the shelter as he really deserves it. ❤️ He currently shares his home with a large female dog with whom he gets along and there are no problems. They enjoy playing all day. In a new home, he can be expected to have other dogs but we recommend that they be females as MATO currently does not get along with males. For Mato, we recommend dog school or a socialization class so he can learn how to live in a house and family. MATO would enjoy a house with a yard and we recommend older children due to his build. Microchip number: 191100002143800.

Mato je naš veliki ljepotan, rođen je 2022. godine i visok 60cm. Za njega želimo da napokon otkrije život izvan skloništa jer je stvarno to zaslužio. ❤️ Trenutno dijeli svoj dom sa velikom kujicom sa kojom se slaže i nema problema. Cijele dane uživaju u igri. U novom domu ga mogu čekati drugim psi ali preporučamo da budu kuje jer se trenutno Mato ne slaže sa mužjacima. Za Matu bi preporučili posjet školi za pse ili tečaj socijalizacije kako bi se naučio na život u domu i obitelji. Mato bi uživao u kući sa dvorištem te preporučamo stariju djecu radi njegove građe. Broj mikročipa: 191100002143800.

About MATO

What life with MATO looks like

MATO is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Udruga Spas Varaždin in Varaždin.

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 MATO, answered.

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