The City of Dubrovnik has launched an initiative for people to adopt dogs from the animal shelter in Dubrovnik. As a motivation for people to offer a home to a dog from the shelter the city has stated that they will finance the food and health care for the dog for a year.

A statement from the City of Dubrovnik explains that citizens who give a home to one of the dogs from the animal shelter in Zarkovica need to contact the public company Sanitat in order to arrange finance for food and vet bills.

Depending on the size of the dog citizens who adopt a dog will be entitled to the provision of food during 2016. The City of Dubrovnik is also offering health care for the new pets, including vaccinations against infectious diseases, castration and passports for dogs. The provision of food and health care will last for a period of twelve months from the date of signing a contract on adopting a dog.

More detailed information about this program can be found on the official website of the company www.sanitat.hr under “Home to an animal from Zarkovica.”
