Negra needs a home!

Published in About Animals

Beautiful, intelligent, good-natured and lively, Negra will bring joy to the right owner.

Negra is three years old and will be four in November 2023. Her mother is a Balkan hound, reddish-black in colour, while her father is an English setter, black and white. Negra is a beautiful very deep chocolate brown colour, almost black, with a smooth glossy coat.

She spent a little time with Eco Hvar a couple of years ago, during which she responded extremely well to obedience training from Sara Radonić, our qualified dog-groomer. In no time at all she had mastered basic commands and also learned several clever 'tricks'. She evidently enjoyed the attention and the challenges!

Later on, she proved to be less amenable to learning her role as a hunting dog, so she is now looking for the right owner who can provide her with plenty of exercise, affection and, of course, the right form of obedience training suited to her new life.

Negra is now in the Animal Centrum Shelter in Kaštel Sućurac, where she is receiving all the necessary medical and social care she needs prior to re-homing. If you are interested in meeting Negra and perhaps eventually offering her a good home, please contact the Shelter by email at: This email address is being protected from spambots.

UPDATE: Happy news, Negra has found a loving new home in Germany!

  • Fumes, rats and maggots: peer urges Environment Agency to clear illegal dump in Wigan

    Shas Sheehan challenges refusal to remove 25,000 tonnes of waste causing ‘grave environmental hazard’ near school

    A 25,000-tonne illegal waste dump next to a primary school in Wigan presents “a grave environmental hazard” and should be cleared, the chair of the Lords environment committee has told the government.

    Shas Sheehan challenged the refusal of the Environment Agency to clean up an illegal waste dump in Bolton House Road in the Greater Manchester town, given the agency was spending millions clearing up illegal waste deposited in Kidlington, Oxfordshire.

  • ‘Hope and relief’ as seaside town’s last youth centre saved

    Charity praises effort to stop Ramsgate’s Pie Factory Music closing but calls for more youth services in coastal towns

    The last remaining youth centre in one of England’s most deprived coastal places has been saved from being sold after a long campaign by the charity that has for 13 years called it home.

    In November the Guardian revealed how the centre in Ramsgate on the Kent coast was facing being auctioned off by Kent county council, despite an independent report that estimated the centre was saving the council more than £500,000 a year in costs, including for services in mental health, youth justice and social care.

  • Airlines should tell UK customers the carbon impact of flights, watchdog says

    CAA’s guidance also including booking sites aims to enable passengers to make ‘more informed travel decisions’

    Airlines and booking firms should give UK customers information about the environmental impact of their flights, the regulator has said.

    The Civil Aviation Authority urged booking sites to enable passengers to make “more informed travel decisions” by setting out estimates for carbon emissions for flights landing or taking off from British airports.

  • Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn

    States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

    Flawed economic models mean the accelerating impact of the climate crisis could lead to a global financial crash, experts warn.

    Recovery would be far harder than after the 2008 financial crash, they said, as “we can’t bail out the Earth like we did the banks”.

  • The Green surge shows British politics has reached a turning point - and it has surprisingly little to do with Zack Polanski | Aditya Chakrabortty

    At a party event in a school hall in Lewisham, people told me how disillusionment with Labour has led to this moment

    “How many?”

    On the end of the phone is a nice press officer for the Greens, head full from a long day in Gorton, Manchester, showing off their would-be MP. And now, as Friday’s sky turns indigo, I’m calling about reports from Lewisham, south London, that tomorrow they’re expecting a flood of 500 Green activists. This comes as a surprise to the party’s own news machine.

  • Anger over Scottish salmon farm inspections amid 35m unexpected fish deaths

    Animal Equality says two surprise inspections in three years suggests ‘embarrassingly poor’ level of scrutiny

    Scottish salmon farmers recorded more than 35m unexpected salmon deaths in just under three years but there were only two unannounced inspections of facilities over the same period.

    In December, the Scottish government’s secretary for rural affairs, Mairi Gougeon, said that there was “a really robust regulatory regime when it comes to fin-fish aquaculture” but animal welfare campaigners say the figures call that claim into question.

  • ‘We can learn from the old’: how architects are returning to the earth to build homes for the future

    Rammed earth sourced from, or near, the grounds of a proposed building site is attracting attention as an eco-friendly construction material

    From afar, the low-rise homestead perched in the Wiltshire countryside may look like any other rural outpost, but step closer and the texture of the walls reveal something distinct from the usual facade of cement, brick and steel.

    The Rammed Earth House in Cranborne Chase is one of the few projects in the UK that has been made by unstabilised rammed earth – a building material that consists entirely of compacted earth and which has been used as far back as the Neolithic period.

  • Postcard-pretty … and filled with pollution: how Brazil’s fishers are reviving Rio de Janeiro’s famous bay

    A mangrove conservation project in Guanabara Bay has shown how a dying ecosystem can be transformed into a thriving sanctuary

    With deep blue waters flanked by dramatic peaks, Guanabara Bay is the postcard view of Rio de Janeiro – but it is also one of Brazil’s most polluted coastal environments. Raw sewage and solid waste flow into the bay from surrounding cities, home to more than 8 million people. Cargo ships and oil platforms chug in and out of commercial ports, while dozens of abandoned vessels lie rotting in the water.

    But at the head of the bay, between the cities of Itaboraí and Magé, the environment feels different. The air is purer, the waters are empty but for small fishing canoes, and flocks of birds soar overhead.

  • Feeling chirpy: how listening to birdsong can boost your wellbeing

    Paying attention to the calls of our avian neighbours can reduce stress, find scientists in Germany

    Feeling stressed? Try a dose of birdsong to lift the spirits. A new study shows that paying attention to the treetop melodies of our feathered friends can boost wellbeing and bring down stress levels.

    Previous research has shown that people feel better in bird-rich environments, but Christoph Randler, from the University of Tübingen, and colleagues wanted to see if that warm fuzzy feeling translated into measurable physiological changes. They rigged up a park with loudspeakers playing the songs of rare birds and measured the blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol levels (a marker of stress) of volunteers before and after taking a 30-minute walk through the park. Some volunteers experienced the birdsong-enriched environment, some heard just natural birdsong, and some wore noise-cancelling headphones and heard no birdsong. Half of the recruits were asked to pay attention to the birdsong.

  • Landslides on one side, floods on the other: the Costa Rican village desperate to escape the climate crisis

    With government action stalled and living in ‘inhumane’ conditions, families in San José are making plans to relocate

    In Emilio Peña Delgado’s home, several photos hang on the wall. One shows him standing in front of a statue with his wife and oldest son in the centre of San José and smiling. In another, his two sons sit in front of caricatures from the film Cars. For him, the photos capture moments of joy that feel distant when he returns home to La Carpio, a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Costa Rica’s capital.

    Delgado migrated with his family from Nicaragua to Costa Rica when he was 10, as his parents sought greater stability. When he started a family of his own, his greatest hope was to give his children the security he had lacked. But now, that hope is often interrupted by the threat of extreme weather events.
