Welcome To
Prishtina Dog Shelter

We are a small team of local staff and international volunteers working hard to support stray dogs in Kosovo. As a non-contractual, non-governmental organisation, we are suppotted purely by the generosity of individual donors and volunteers.

As such we are greately limited both by physical capacity to accept all the dogs that are brought to us (especially if this is done without prior consultation) as well as irregular finance and staffing. While we share everyone's commitment to helping dogs in distress, we kindly ask you to also empathise with our reality, as we do our best to achieve sustainability under the difficult conditions in which we operate.​​​​​

Please message us on our Instagram or Email for more details on these services.

Our Services

​​Dog Boarding

At our facility, your dog will stay in our shared kennels, where they'll socialize with other dogs, receive daily attention from our caring staff and volunteers, and have all their individual needs met by our team members.

Temporary Hold

Adopted Dogs

Dogs waiting for their travel documents often have to wait an average of 3-6 months before they can travel to the EU, other countries may have different requirements for Rabies quarantine We provide the service of holding dogs at the shelter while they are in a quarantine period. We do all of the paperwork required for travel. On certain occasions we can find flight volunteers traveling to your country, but in most cases the owner has to come pick up their adopted dogs themselves.

Dog Rescue

Rescuing a Sick/Hurt Dog

Depending on the severity of illness and required treatment, we require that the person who undertook their rescue to help with the vet bills. This applies to puppies as well, they require extra care and we ask that as a rescuer you help cover at least the vaccines and deworming treatment.

KFOR Italian Carabinieri - Kennel Project 

The winter of 2023-24 will always be remembered as a time when our shelter received a remarkable gift. Thanks to the generous support of NATO KFOR Italian Carabinieri and the local municipality of Gracanica, we were able to replace our old kennels with new ones. This updated infrastructure not only allows us to provide our dogs with better living conditions, but it also ensures the safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors. We are excited to keep making a positive impact on the lives of our dogs thanks to this incredible donation.
