Nala

Female · Young · 2 years

Nala is a beautiful sheepdog mix, 10 months old, who arrived at the shelter after her owner passed away. This dear and affectionate little pup is seeking a new home where she will once again feel love and security. Nala is a bit shy, but her gentleness and devotion win over anyone who gets to know her. She is accustomed to company, having lived with her companion, Mari, who is also in the shelter and is looking for a home.

HR·Show original

Nala je prekrasna križanka ovčara stara 10 mjeseci, koja je u sklonište dospjela nakon što je njezina vlasnica preminula. Ova draga i umiljata njuškica traži novi dom gdje će opet osjetiti ljubav i sigurnost.Nala je pomalo plaha, no njezina nježnost i privrženost osvajaju svakoga tko je upozna. Naviknuta je na društvo, jer je živjela s macom Mari, koja je također u skloništu i traži dom.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a young adult dog waiting at Dumovec in Zagreb.

An young 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 Nala, answered.

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