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!

  • Regulator and government accused of colluding with water industry to dump potentially toxic waste without oversight

    An Environment Agency (EA) insider has broken ranks to expose what they describe as a “deliberate and ongoing cover-up” of the public health and environmental dangers of spreading sewage sludge on farmland.

    They accuse the regulator and government of colluding with water companies for years to facilitate the dumping of waste under the guise of soil enrichment – without oversight, transparency or testing.

  • Mass lobby in Westminster is kicked off with giant image on cliffs of Dover stating ‘89% of people want climate action’

    More than 5,000 people from across the UK arrived in Westminster on Wednesday to meet their MPs and demand urgent climate action to protect their communities.

    The mass lobby is one of the largest to date. The constituents, including parents and pensioners, doctors, teachers, farmers and youth campaigners, have arranged to lobby at least 500 MPs, about 80% of the total.

  • Heat caused 2,300 deaths across 12 cities, of which 1,500 were down to climate crisis, scientists say

    Planet-heating pollution tripled the death toll from the “quietly devastating” heatwave that seared Europe at the end of June, early analysis covering a dozen cities has found, as experts warned of a worsening health crisis that is being overlooked.

    Scientists estimate that high heat killed 2,300 people across 12 major cities as temperatures soared across Europe between 23 June and 2 July. They attributed 1,500 of the deaths to climate breakdown, which has heated the planet and made the worst extremes even hotter.

  • Dr Tim Gregory argues that nuclear power is safe, relatively cheap and the only realistic route to achieving net zero targets

    Dr Tim Gregory is a nuclear evangelist. A chemist who works in the labs of Sellafield, Britain’s oldest nuclear site, he argues that embracing nuclear energy is the only way to achieve net zero.

    He tells Helen Pidd it is an energy source long misunderstood – unfairly tainted by the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters. It is a safe technology, he says, and despite the billions it costs to build nuclear plants, it represents good value for money.

  • Exclusive: Defra warned three years ago of farmland contamination by water firms’ sewage-derived product

    Government ministers have ignored Environment Agency pleas to tighten rules on the use of sludge fertiliser for three years, despite the regulator having said that water company attitudes towards the substance are “akin to fly-tipping on to agricultural land”, it can be revealed.

    Sludge, sometimes referred to as biosolids, is a byproduct of the sewage treatment process that is sold by water companies to farmers as a low-cost fertiliser.

  • Thousands of people are killed each year by floods – and climate breakdown is making them more likely

    Deluges of water are washing away people, homes and livelihoods as extreme rains make rivers burst their banks and high seas help send storm tides surging over coastal walls. How dangerous is flooding – and what can we do to keep ourselves safe?

  • Sharpenhoe Clappers, Bedfordshire: The chimney sweeper moths are keeping a low profile, while others are putting on a display

    As we swelter through the meadow, our heat-loving companions bask on knapweed and field scabious, stirring every few seconds to chase off rivals or woo potential mates. The dark green fritillaries and feisty marbled whites command our attention with their dramatic and intricate wing markings, while small heaths, skippers, ringlets and meadow browns provide the butterfly chorus.

    Distracted by the razzle-dazzle, I’ve forgotten that we’re hunting for a sooty anomaly in the summer meadow. With its penchant for flying in bright sunshine, the chimney sweeper could be mistaken for a butterfly, but is, in fact, a day-flying moth. It’s one of about 130 macro-moths in the UK that take to the wing during daylight hours, more than twice the number of butterfly species. Many exhibit vivid colouration or striking patterns, such as the cinnabar, emperor, scarlet tiger or hornet moths. In contrast, the chimney sweeper has no patterning on its black body save for a white margin on the forewings, and it keeps a low profile, alighting on grass stems or making short flights around the white umbel flowers of pignut, its larval food plant. Today, its profile is so low that we fail to see it at all.

  • With less congestion, less carbon pollution, less accidents, could it be a model for other US cities? Six months in, environmentalists say yes

    It has faced threats and lawsuits and even had its death proclaimed by Donald Trump as he startlingly depicted himself as a king in a social media post. But New York City’s congestion charge scheme for cars has now survived its first six months, producing perhaps the fastest ever environmental improvement from any policy in US history.

    New York vaulted into a global group of cities – such as London, Singapore and Stockholm – that charge cars for entering their traffic-clogged metropolitan hearts but also ushered in a measure that was unknown to Americans and initially unpopular with commuters, and was confronted by a new Trump administration determined to tear it down.

  • Exploring the magical landscape that inspired Narnia and stars as a location in Game of Thrones – just an hour outside of Belfast

    Where is the finest mountain panorama in the UK? As a nine-year-old I was taken up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and told it was the best. Even in those days, it was a struggle to see much except the backs of other people. The following summer Scafell Pike got the same treatment and the next year we climbed Ben Nevis. I disagreed on all counts. For me, Thorpe Cloud in Dovedale was unbeatable, despite it being under a thousand feet tall. What convinced me was the diminutive Derbyshire peak’s shape: a proper pointy summit with clear space all around, plus grassy slopes that you could roll down. The champion trio could not compare.

    This panorama question is in my mind as I begin hiking up Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland’s highest peak (at 850 metres), but a mountain often forgotten by those listing their UK hiking achievements. And a proper peak it is too, with a great sweeping drop to the sea and loads of space all around, guaranteeing, I reckon, a view to beat its more famous rivals.

  • Shanxi produces more coal than India. How will it survive in China’s clean energy future?

    Deep in the recesses of an underground cavern, covered in dust and soot, Xu Xiaobo wondered why, having recently graduated with a degree in mechanics, he was on his hands and knees sifting through layers of coal sludge. But there was no time to ponder the ancestral forces that had brought him down into one of his province’s oldest mines. There was coal to dig for.

    New to the job, keeping up with colleagues was challenging. As he tried to crawl at speed under a conveyor belt of coal, he landed badly and sprained his wrist. He still can’t rotate it properly.
