Welcome to Usko's Nest Animal Sanctuary in Bosnia and Herzegovina
A New Name, The Same Heart.
We are excited to share an important new step in our journey.
Usko’s Nest Dog Shelter will now continue under a new name: Usko’s Nest Animal Sanctuary.
Over the years, our mission has grown beyond helping only dogs. Today, Usko’s Nest is a safe haven for many different animals in need — including cats, ponies, donkeys, and other rescued animals who have nowhere else to go.
The new name better reflects who we are and what we stand for: a place of safety, healing, compassion, and lifelong care for animals who have experienced neglect, fear, and hardship.
While our name is changing, our mission remains exactly the same — to protect, care for, and give love to animals who deserve a second chance at life.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for continuing to support the animals of Usko’s Nest Animal Sanctuary.
The main goal of this website is to raise awareness about the difficult lives of stray animals in Bosnia and to share the important rescue work of animal rights activist and rescuer Dalida Kozlic.
Many of the animals at Usko’s Nest Animal Sanctuary have suffered from abuse, neglect, injuries, fear, and trauma before finding safety. Some arrive frightened and deeply hurt, both physically and emotionally.
At Usko’s Nest, Aniaml Sanctuary they are given a safe and loving haven where they can finally rest, recover, and heal at their own pace. With patience, care, and kindness, these animals are given the chance to feel safe, trusted, and loved again.
The second goal of this website is to find kind supporters who would like to virtually adopt one or more of the rescued animals at Usko’s Nest.
With regular monthly support, Dalida can continue providing food, medical care, shelter, and everything the animals need to live safe and healthy lives. Monthly sponsorships also help give stability to the sanctuary and ensure that Usko’s Nest can continue rescuing and caring for animals in need.
If you want to help by virtual adoption go to the page Available for virtual adoption.
