She seeks contact with her caregivers and is always approachable and peaceful when dealing with people. Vuka is currently still reserved with other dogs. It is suspected that she has insecurities or fear towards her peers. In corresponding encounters, she prefers to withdraw or signals her uncertainty with a slight growl. However, she shows no aggressive behavior, but simply asks for distance.

Now she is waiting for a reliable home that provides her with lasting security. 🐾 Dream home: • A loving home that gives her security and guides her forward through dog encounters. • Preferably as a single dog or to a quiet, unobtrusive first dog. • Active people who enjoy further education and mental and physical exercise of a young female dog. 💌 How you can help: ❣️ Adopt ❣️ Offer foster care ❣️ Sponsorship ❣️ Share - so that Vuka finds her family 🐾❤️

🩷 VUKA 🩷 ANTO 📍 Aufenthaltsort: Kroatien, Nähe Slavonski Brod - kann jederzeit vor Ort besucht werden 🐾 Allgemeine Daten: • Name: Vuka • Alter: geboren am 20.08.2025 • Geschlecht: weiblich • Rasse: Mischling (optisch erinnert sie an einen Schäferhund-Mix) 🐾 Gesundheit: • Allgemeinzustand: gesund, fit und gut versorgt • vollständig grundimmunisiert, gechippt & EU-Heimtierausweis vorhanden • kastriert • Gewicht: ca. 14 kg • Größe: mittelgroß Die Beschreibungen der Hunde durch die Pflegestellen basieren auf aktuellen Eindrücken vor Ort und stellen keine Garantie für das zukünftige Verhalten oder die Entwicklung des Hundes dar. 🐾 Charakter & Verhalten: Vuka sieht aus wie ein Deutscher Schäferhund im Kleinformat und besticht durch ein sehr menschenfreundliches, aufgeschlossenes Wesen. Sie sucht den Kontakt zu ihren Bezugspersonen und zeigt sich im Umgang mit Menschen stets zugewandt und friedlich. Im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Vuka aktuell noch zurückhaltend. Es wird vermutet, dass sie Unsicherheiten bzw. Angst gegenüber Artgenossen hegt. In entsprechenden Begegnungen zieht sie sich bevorzugt zurück oder signalisiert ihre Unsicherheit durch leichtes Knurren. Sie zeigt dabei jedoch keinerlei aggressives Verhalten, sondern bittet schlichtweg um Abstand. Mit einer souveränen Führung und behutsamer Heranführung kann sie in diesem Bereich schrittweise an Sicherheit gewinnen. 🐾 Ihre Geschichte: Vuka wurde mitten in der Nacht einfach vor dem Haus einer Tierschutz-Freiwilligen ausgesetzt und sich selbst überlassen. Glücklicherweise wurde die junge Hündin schnell entdeckt, in Sicherheit gebracht und medizinisch versorgt. Nun wartet sie auf ein verlässliches Zuhause, das ihr dauerhafte Sicherheit bietet. 🐾 Traumzuhause: • Ein liebevolles Zuhause, das ihr Sicherheit vermittelt und sie vorausschauend durch Hundebegegnungen führt. • Vorzugsweise als Einzelhund oder zu einem ruhigen, unaufdringlichen Ersthund. • Aktive Menschen, die Freude an der weiteren Erziehung und mentalen sowie körperlichen Auslastung einer jungen Hündin haben. 💌 So kannst du helfen: ❣️ Adoptieren ❣️ Pflegestelle anbieten ❣️ Patenschaft ❣️ Teilen - damit Vuka ihre Familie findet 🐾❤️

About Vuka

What life with Vuka looks like

Vuka is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hund sucht Hütte in Austria.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vuka, answered.

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