FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where is Hrtji Svet located?
Hrtji Svet is in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
How many animals does Hrtji Svet have available for adoption?
Hrtji Svet currently has 66 animals listed on TailHarbor. That includes 24 dogs. The inventory is refreshed daily from the shelter's own listing system.
How do I adopt an animal from Hrtji Svet?
Browse the available animals on this page and pick one you'd like to meet. Then contact Hrtji Svet directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar — Hrtji Svet handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor. Slovenian shelters follow EU pet passport requirements rigorously and coordinate with Italian, Austrian, and German rescue partners. Animals are fully vetted before leaving.
Can I adopt from Hrtji Svet if I live in another country?
Yes. Cross-border adoption within the EU is straightforward thanks to the EU pet passport system. The animal needs to be at least 15 weeks old, microchipped to ISO 11784/11785, and have a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel. Hrtji Svet typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport. The adopter coordinates the transport — common options include rescue networks (NGO-run road transport), professional pet-transport companies, "flight nannies" (volunteer in-cabin couriers), or self-drive pickups for shelters in neighbouring countries.
Is Hrtji Svet a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Hrtji Svet is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Hrtji Svet?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees — they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Hrtji Svet directly. Typical fees in Slovenia cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Hrtji Svet via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
