Give a hand to Šibenik Paws and walk with them in the Krka NP
Those who adopt a dog from the Šibenik Paws Association by 4 October 2024, will receive a free annual membership in the Friends of the Krka Club, thanks to which they will be able to make unlimited free visits to the Krka National Park for one year

The Krka National Park and the Šibenik Paws Association have signed a cooperation agreement aimed at protecting animals, which is a significant step in promoting animal care and encouraging the adoption of dogs from that association. In accordance with this agreement, the Krka National Park will provide free membership in the Friends of the Krka Club to people who adopt a dog through the Šibenik Paws Association. Through this, we want to encourage the adoption of dogs from that association, while at the same time offering the numerous benefits that come with being a member of the Friends of the Krka Club.

In order to emphasize the importance of this cooperation and once again invite citizens to provide a home for abandoned dogs, in cooperation with the Azimut Club, we organized an educational gathering on the occasion of World Animal Day on Saturday, 7 October 2023. Photos of available dogs were displayed on easels, and visitors could get information about the work of the organizations and opportunities to support them at the stands set up for the occasion.

"The Krka National Park, as a protected region, is involved with nature, heritage, the people who visit us, and the animals we share our living space with. That's why we initiated and organized this event specifically on the occasion of 4 October, World Animal Day, so as to emphasize the importance of care and empathy for all living creatures. We have recognized and supported the work of the Šibenik Paws Association and decided to further motivate citizens to adopt dogs from that association with an annual membership in the Krka National Park", said the director of the Krka National Park, Nella Slavica, and added: "I thank everyone who joined us on Saturday, for both education and fun, and I once again invite all those who have the proper conditions to adopt a dog and visit the Krka National Park with it, on whose trails dogs are always welcome visitors."

A special guest on that occasion was Marko Aleksić, trainer and handler of the official dogs of the intervention police unit, head of the local branch of the Ghetto Dog School, who gave a lecture on training dogs and further demonstrated their training. The employees of the Krka National Park led a workshop on making sweet treats for dogs, and the participants also had the opportunity to learn how to make and paint fashion accessories for dogs from discarded materials such as old uniforms and jeans.
