The continuation of successful cooperation between the Krka National Park and the Šibenik Paw Association
Abandoned animals deserve a chance at a better life
The Public Institute of Krka National Park and the Šibenik Paw Association will again sign a cooperation agreement this year, continuing their joint initiative to encourage the adoption of abandoned dogs and cats and promote a responsible attitude towards animals. The cooperation has been continuing for the third year in a row.
On the basis of the agreement, every person who adopts an animal cared for by the Šibenik Paws Association is entitled to a free one-year membership in the Friends of the Krka Club. Membership includes numerous benefits, including free entrance to the Krka National Park throughout the year, allowing adopters to enjoy the natural features of the Park in the company of their pets.
"This collaboration has proven to be extremely successful because it not only encourages the adoption of animals, but also raises awareness of the need for their protection. We are proud that through joint actions we are contributing to creating better conditions for abandoned dogs and cats," emphasised Nella Slavica, director of the Krka National Park.
On the occasion of World Animal Protection Day, which is celebrated on 4 October, the Krka National Park and the Šibenik Paws Association are organising a joint event on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 10 am to 1 pm on the green area in front of the Azimut Club in Šibenik.
The programme is designed to educate, entertain, and encourage citizens, especially children, to think about the importance of protecting animals and nature in general.
Employees of the Krka National Park will hold a workshop for children, with a creative table featuring educational materials (children's leaflets, coloring sheets) and an information desk about the Park. Visitors will be able to learn more about the natural features of the Krka, while treats will be prepared for their dogs. The Šibenik Paws Association is organising a quiz for children on the topic of animal protection, and the most successful participants will receive suitable gifts.
The joint activities of the Krka National Park and the Šibenik Paws Association continues the successful example of cooperation between state institutions and the civil sector in promoting animal protection. This initiative invites citizens to become involved and provide a home for abandoned animals, thus contributing to the creation of a more humane society — while enjoying the natural beauty of the Krka National Park as members of the Friends of the Krka Club.
