Adopting a pet from Vucjak Shelter
Whether you’ve found a dog you wish to apply for, or you’re not sure which dog is right for you, please fill out an adoption application, and we can work with you to find the right match.
Many dogs at Vucjak Shelter have not yet experienced the warmth and love of a home environment. We assess our dogs as best as possible and provide as much information as we can prior to adoption. We ask for your patience and compassion for dogs who require adjustment to their new homes—we know they are thankful for the opportunity to be part of your family.
