Welcome to the Dog Shelter

About us
DOG SHELTER MISSION
Srce za šapu association was founded in 2015 as a spontaneous response to serious violations of the Animal Protection and Welfare Act and the alarming situation facing abandoned dogs in Sanski Most, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our mission is to save dogs from hunger, disease, fear and life on the streets, and to provide them with a place where they can live with dignity, in a way that respects their needs and nature. But our mission doesn’t end there. We want every dog to have the chance to find a home where they will be accepted, loved and treated as an equal member of the family.
Take me home!
DOG SHELTER INHABITANTS FOR ADOPTION
People who visit us often say how happy our dogs look. But the truth is that a shelter, no matter how good, can never replace a real home. Every one of them longs for a place to belong, for safety and peace, and for someone to shower with their love and loyalty every day. Meet them – perhaps your newest family member is waiting for you right here. And when you adopt a dog from our shelter, you don’t just change that dog’s life. You also make room for another dog, one who may be wandering the streets of our town right now, waiting for a chance to be rescued.

DundaRead moreWhen Dunda was attacked by dogs from her own yard two years ago, it almost felt like the best thing that had ever happened to her - in what had been, to put it mildly, an unfortunate life. First, she got her own kennel. Her own peace. A...
NalaRead moreNala - about 15 kilos of pure energy and love wrapped in ginger fur. The first to greet you at the gate, the fastest along the fence, and always the closest to a hand that pets and hands out treats. In her pack, there are bigger and...
ZeusRead moreZeus is tired, we can see it in his movements, in his stiff joints, worn out over the years in the rain and cold. We see it in the gaze of his eyes that says he has surrendered and is now just waiting for the end. We would like to show him...
MarioRead moreMario, a handsome and kind-hearted young boy in his prime, unfortunately spends his life confined to a shelter, withdrawn and always in the second row among his buddies. Many words could be used to describe the moment when Mario's eyes...

MedaRead moreMeda spends most of her days in her kennel or, when she gathers enough courage, on the grass just outside. But she never goes any further. She arrived at our shelter in May 2020, just three months old at the time. Meda is one of the...
