Zir

Male · Young · 2 years

Biggest little guy! This is Zir! He’s living proof that not all of us deserve dogs. When he was found, we scanned his microchip—but his owner had already given up on him. Zir is a cheerful and active nose. Sometimes his energy is just a bit too much for his own good. The athlete inside him urges him to jump over fences. That’s why he needs responsible people who can provide him with a safe environment. He’s a two-year-old Shepherd mix. He has an exceptionally gentle nature. He absolutely loves people. If you can offer him a wonderful home where he’ll be pampered and cared for, please get in touch with us at:

Maza najveća! To je Zir! Živi je dokaz da svi ne zaslužujemo pse. Naime, kad je pronađen, očitali smo mu mikročip, ali njegov ga se vlasnik odrekao. Zir je vesela i aktivna njuška. Katkad je njegova energija zericu prevelika. Atletičar u njemu potiče ga na preskakanje ograde. Zato mu trebaju odgovorni ljudi u čijem će prostoru biti siguran. Dvogodišnji je križanac ovčara. Iznimno je blage naravi. Obožava ljude. Ako mu možete pružiti dobar dom u kojem će biti mažen i pažen, javite nam se na e-adresu:

About Zir

What life with Zir looks like

Zir 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 Zir, answered.

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