Adopt

Choosing a dog from hundreds of others is no easy task. Often, we adopt the dog that looks saddest or appeals most to us aesthetically. Unfortunately, such an approach often leads to unsuccessful adoptions — the dog is returned to the shelter or ends up in an environment that doesn't meet its needs. Therefore, one of our main goals is to encourage sustainable and responsible adoptions. With the help of a certified trainer, we have created detailed profiles of dogs from the Bogrov and Seslavtsi shelters. These profiles present each dog's individual qualities, needs, and behavior to facilitate choice and increase the chances of a successful coexistence. You can view these profiles here.

Before adopting a dog, we invite you to fill out our adoption application. Afterwards, we will contact you to discuss and help you find the most suitable dog.
You can preview the profiles of the dogs we've published here. Together, we will discuss which one would best fit your lifestyle. Our goal is to make an informed and sustainable choice – both for you and for the dog.

We are the people who know the dogs in both shelters best. We spend time with them – socializing them, building trust, and preparing them for life as pets. That's why we'd like to meet you. During our meeting, you'll have the opportunity to ask any questions you have. We will also learn about you to ensure the dog goes to a safe and responsible home.
You can prepare in advance for your new friend's adaptation period. We've compiled helpful tips and guidelines, which you can find here.

We advocate for humane treatment of animals, and a crucial part of this is how our pets are raised. Dogs are not commodities, nor are they living alarm systems. We believe they have been through enough and deserve the best. If, during our conversations, we determine that what you can offer the dog does not meet modern and humane pet care standards, we reserve the right to decline your application.

The adoption process concludes with the signing of an adoption agreement, which details the requirements for a safe and healthy life for the dog, consent for regular photo updates, and agreement for home visits.
During the initial period, we will be there for you and the dog to help ensure the first few weeks go smoothly and without problems.
We are always available for questions and will be happy to direct you to suitable trainers if difficulties arise. It's important to note that few trainers have experience with shelter dogs and their specific needs.
