How do I contact the shelter about MERKUR?

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 MERKUR on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt MERKUR 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 MERKUR 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 MERKUR 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 MERKUR 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.

MERKUR

Mixed Breed · Male

Beautiful MERKUR is wonderful inside and out. When he gains confidence, he comes up to people and enjoys being in their company. We are looking for attentive and empathetic people who will patiently and understandingly introduce Mercury to life outside the shelter. Peace, calmness, patience - that's what he needs. He was born in 2020. When MERKUR came to the shelter in Croatia, he was completely terrified. He sat in his box without moving. Thanks to the selfless support of our team, he relaxed and is now a new dog. He enjoys the company of people and other dogs (only females). We recommend that he be adopted by a household without small children. It would be ideal if he is adopted by people who have experience with dogs and patience to allow MERKUR to relax and show his best side. MERKUR was attached to a football goal on the field. Balls were thrown at him, he was hit, even children hit him. Because of this, he has trauma and a certain level of distrust and fear towards strangers. Beautiful MERKUR is a tough nut but when you get to his soft heart, you will see how wonderful and characterful he is. Do you want to give our Mercury a chance to finally feel the love of a family and a real home? 💕 Chip number: 191035000064893.

Prekrasan Merkur je predivan izvana i iznutra. Kad stekne samopouzdanje, dolazi i prilazi ljudima te uživa biti u njihovom društvu. Za Merkura tražimo pažljive i empatične ljude koji će ga strpljivo i s razumijevanjem upoznati sa životom izvan skloništa. Mir, spokoj, strpljenje, to je ono što mu treba. Rođen je 2020. Kada je Merkur došao u sklonište u Hrvatskoj, bio je potpuno uplašen. Sjedio je u svojem boxu bez micanja. Zahvaljujući samopožrtvovnoj podršci našeg tima opustio se i sada je novi pas. Uživa u društvu ljudi i drugih pasa (samo ženka). Za njega preporučamo da se udomi u dom bez malene djece. Idealno bi bilo da se udomi k ljudima koji imaju iskustva sa psima i strpljenja da se Merkur opusti i pokaže u najboljem svjetlu. Merkur je bio vezan za nogometni gol na igralištu. Na njega su pucali lopte, tukli su ga, čak su ga i djeca udarala. Od toga su mu ostale traume i određena razina nepovjerenja i straha prema nepoznatim ljudima. Prekrasni Merkur je tvrdi orah ali kada se dođe do njegovog mekog srca, vidjet ćete koliko je on predivan i karakteran pas. Želite pružiti priliku našem Merkuru da osjeti napokon ljubav obitelji i pravog doma? 💕 Broj mikročipa: 191035000064893.

About MERKUR

What life with MERKUR looks like

MERKUR 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.
