We care for our dogs with heart and soul. Our team of animal keepers and veterinarians work around the clock for our cute four-legged friends. Our goal is to give the dogs – healthy in body and soul – in loving hands .
Veterinarians
Our trained veterinarians primarily take care of the medical care of the dogs in our fully equipped veterinary clinic. Immediately after the dogs’ arrival, they are therefore vaccinated, chipped and dewormed. When the animals have reached an appropriate age, they are also neutered to counter uncontrolled reproduction. Our veterinarians do their best to provide the dogs with the best possible medical care and to keep them healthy.
Animal keeper
Our experienced animal keepers take care of the social well-being of the four-legged friends. They get them used to the company of people and, of course, keep the entire facility clean and species-appropriate. Most importantly, of course, they provide plenty of exercise and romp around with the dogs, and cuddling is not neglected either.
Our residents are very diverse, some are abandoned as puppies at our gate, others are brought to us by families because they can no longer keep the dog due to moving to an apartment or moving to another city or various other reasons. There are also scared dogs, traumatized dogs and dogs that we rescued from a shelter located in Gorazde (see “News”). We do everything we can to help them regain their trust in us humans, and all dogs deserve to find a nice home. On the profiles we have described each dog as best we can and added a short story about how they found their way to us as well as photos and a video.
