for abandoned and handicapped animals
An integral part of the purpose-built facility is the city shelter for dogs, operated by the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The shelter offers refuge for stray and abandoned dogs from the cadastre of the city of České Budějovice. The shelter houses indoor and outdoor kennels, there is a veterinary surgery available, with permanent staff providing care of animals with often troubled history. As a time-honoured tradition, we have volunteers who come to help walk dogs.

Please contact the Municipal Police (156), who catch stray dogs and place them in the shelter.
If a dog has been lost outside the cadastral area of České Budějovice, we recommend contacting also Mr Kössl - Animal Rescue – mob. +420 777 214 680.
Please contact the Municipal Police (156), who will collect the lost dog from you.
In a vast majority of cases, the answer is NO! The exception is dogs left by their deceased owners, but even that situation has its rules. If there are any surviving relatives, they are obliged to look after the dog. If this is impossible, the dog can be admitted to the city shelter, but we will ask for a non-refundable one-off deposit in the amount of CZK 5,000, which will cover the costs associated with the stay of the dog in shelter.
Surprisingly, there are many people who get tired of their dogs and try to get rid of him/her for “objective” reasons. The public believes that they can drop their dogs in the shelter at their will, and after arrival at our shelter, they are often taken aback that we will not take their dogs from them. There are several reasons.
We are not equipped for cats. Currently, there is a municipal shelter for cats in Zavadilka, or you may contact the non-profit organization Kočky České Budějovice.
Our dogs will certainly be happy for your help. If you are interested, the following is a list of ideal gifts:
We have an overabundance of sponge biscuits (most dogs have never eaten them and have no desire for them), various dog coloured “sticks”, strap collars with plain plastic buckles (which break easily), supermarket dog food (many of the dogs entrusted to us suffer from digestive problems and find high grain food hard to digest), short leashes.
We are, of course, grateful for any help, but it would be a pity if such help remains unused for the reason that there is a surplus of such materials in our shelter.
