Adopt SOFIJA

Mixed Breed · Female

Our lovely SOFIJA is still waiting for her people. SOFIJA is a black beauty in the terrier type. She has beautiful long hair and the character typical of a terrier. But we know that somewhere there is a lover of such dogs. Unfortunately, SOFIJA does not get along with other dogs, which causes her great stress and problems in the shelter as she is constantly surrounded by them. She loves people, she values every moment in human company and uses it for cuddling and squeezing our people. She loves physical activity, she has not yet mastered walking on a leash, although we believe that it will not be a problem for our little one. SOFIJA was born in 04/2021 and has already experienced what it is like to live in a home, but unfortunate fate has brought her to the shelter. We would really like SOFIJA to get another chance to return to the warmth of home! Microchip number: 191100002211274.

Lijepa naša Sofija, još uvijek čeka svoje ljude. Sofija je crna ljepotica u tipu terijera. Predivne je duže dlake te karaktera tipičnog za terijera. Ali znamo da negdje ima ljubitelja takvih pasa. Sofija se nažalost ne slaže sa drugim psima, što joj predstavlja veliki stres i probleme u skloništu pošto je svakodnevno okružena sa njima. Obožava ljude, svaki trenutak u ljudskome društvu cijeni i iskoristi ga za maženje i stiskanje sa našim ljudima. Obožava fizičku aktivnost, još nije savladala šetnju na vodilici iako vjerujemo da to ne bude problem za našu malenu. Sofija je rođena 04/2021 te je već iskusila kako je živjeti u domu, no nesretna sudbina ju je dovela do skloništa. Jako bi htjeli da Sofija opet dobije priliku da se vrati u toplinu doma!

About SOFIJA

What life with SOFIJA looks like

SOFIJA 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 SOFIJA, answered.

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