Adopt Rubina

Female · Senior · 9 years

RUBINA arrived with a locked collar around her neck in June 2018. Obviously, her life had not been a fairytale. But that did not leave any mark on our beautiful Rubina. She shares her love, kisses and hugs with everyone. She is wonderful with people, a joy to have around. She is a great companion and never boring... she loves to play, and is very obedient and well-behaved during walks. We must say she is an excellent jumper, so if you have a yard, the fence should be high. Like every female, she has a little "bug" in her head, which is that some dogs are not to her liking. But a large number of dogs have this "bug," and it shouldn't be a reason for her long wait for a home. And Rubina definitely deserves it because after three years in her home she was betrayed again, but despite that, she remains beautiful and kind-hearted.

RUBINA nam je stigla u lipnju 2018. godine s uraslim lancem u vrat. Očito joj život nije bio bajka. No to nije ostavilo traga na našoj predivnoj Rubini. Dijeli ona svoju ljubav, puse i zagrljaje svima. Divna je s ljudima, maza za poželjeti. Veliki je veseljak i s njom nikad nije dosadno…voli se igrati, a u šetnji je jako poslušna i dobra, moramo reći i da je vrsna skakačica, pa bi trebalo paziti da ako imate dvorište ograda bude visoka. Kao svaka ženskica ima Rubina i jednu “mušicu” u glavi, a to je da joj neki peseki baš nisu po volji. Ali velik broj peseka ima tu “mušicu” i to ne bi trebao biti razlog njenog dugog čekanja na dom. A Rubina ga je itekako zaslužila jer je nakon tri godine u svom domu opet iznevjerena, a ona je unatoč tome i dalje predivna i predobra pesica.

About Rubina

What life with Rubina looks like

Rubina is a senior dog waiting at Noina Arka.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇭🇷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 Rubina, answered.

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