A Little About Us

Adoption House ZaZa started in 2000 when one woman rescued a German Shepherd, ZaZa. Their 12 year relationship sparked a passion for dog rescue resulting in Tamara helping hundreds of dogs and over 150 being homed. Living in Niš, Serbia, Tamara found these dogs everywhere, abandoned on the streets, dumped, left to starve, abused, injured or disabled. She often had puppies left on her doorstep in a box or found them tied up in a rubbish bag, discarded out in the cold. Many of the dogs have medical problems that make them no longer worthy of a life in a loving home, either the owners cant afford treatment or don't value the dogs life, so its thrown out, alone, vulnerable and desperate. Abuse is also common, and yes sometimes its sexual. Blind and disabled dogs have also found themselves in her care, if she can help a dog, there is no bounds to how far she will go in giving it the chance of a happy loving home. It's the reward for her work, what drives her commitment, the unconditional love they give in return.
