Give a Shelter Dog a Home
Volunteers ended euthanasia at this shelter. They feed, walk, and care for every dog, every day. Now these dogs need the one thing volunteers can’t give them – a family. Maybe yours.

A Shelter Transformed by Its Community
Until 2020, the municipal dog shelter in Šabac was a place where strays went to die. Dogs were sick, underfed, and routinely put down – even healthy ones, just to make room.
Then Vesna Teodorović and a group of volunteers decided enough was enough. They founded „Pravo na život“ (Right to Life), fought for access to the shelter, and changed everything. Today, not a single dog is euthanised. Volunteers arrive every morning to feed, walk, and care for every dog.
They pushed the city to ban fireworks on New Year’s Eve. They overturned the ban on feeding strays. They organised „Pet Happenings“ in Veliki Park where families meet the dogs in person – and 23 dogs found homes in just six weeks.
The shelter is transformed. Now the dogs need you.
The way a society treats its animals is a mirror of that society.
Dogs Who Need You Most
Some have been waiting for years. Some survived incredible odds. All of them are at the shelter in Šabac, ready to meet you.
Flocke
Seven years at the shelter. A wonderful, small boy who gets along with everyone – dogs, people, the world. Flocke has been watching others leave while he stays behind. He deserves to finally know what a home feels like.
Floyd
A cheerful, active boy who doesn’t let his missing eye slow him down. Floyd walks beautifully on a leash, bonds deeply with people, and has a heart bigger than his challenges.
Sindy
Found with her puppies in a field where neighbours wanted to poison them. Sindy is gentle, brave, and great with other dogs. Her puppies found homes – now it’s Sindy’s turn.
Why Adopt from the Šabac Shelter?
Vaccinated, Chipped, and Ready
Every dog is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. You adopt a healthy, prepared dog with full medical records – no surprises.
Known by Name, Not by Number
Volunteers spend time with every dog, every day. They know who’s shy, who’s playful, who loves kids, and who needs a garden. You’ll get honest, personal information – not a generic profile.
Come Meet Them in Person
Visit the shelter any time – the volunteers welcome you. Or meet the dogs at our „Pet Happenings“ in Veliki Park, where you can get to know them in a relaxed setting before deciding.
Not Ready to Adopt? You Can Still Help.
Donate
Every donation goes directly to food, vet care, and shelter improvements. Even a small amount makes a real difference.
Volunteer
Help at the shelter, join our social media team, or support events. We always need hands – and hearts.
Foster
Give a dog a temporary home while we find their forever family. Fostering saves lives and frees shelter space.
Share
Post a dog’s profile on social media. One share can reach the right person at the right moment.
Their story doesn’t have to end at the shelter.
Volunteers saved these dogs. Fed them. Cared for them every single day. The one thing they can’t give them is a family. Come to the shelter, meet them, and see for yourself.
