Adopting a rescue dog from Croatia: how it works

Thousands of dogs in Croatian shelters are waiting for a home. We work directly with registered rescues there, and every month we bring adopted dogs home to their new families in the UK.

Step 1: Choose your dog

Every dog on our rescue page has its own profile, with photos, their story, and whether they get on with children, cats and other dogs. Take your time, and if you would like advice on which dog would suit your home, just ask.

Step 2: Reserve

When you have found the right dog, press Reserve on their page and pay the deposit. This holds the dog for you while we arrange everything.

Step 3: We handle the rest

The adoption fee covers the dog's vet checks, vaccinations, microchip, paperwork and the journey home to the UK. All our rescue dogs are microchipped and vaccinated against rabies before they travel.

Step 4: Welcome home

Your dog travels with us in our own fitted van, with regular stops for water, food and rest. We send updates along the way, and you meet your dog at an agreed hand-over point.

Not ready to adopt?

You can still help. Donations go straight to the shelters we work with, paying for food, grooming and better living conditions for the dogs waiting for homes.
