Sažetak
Dog has been a reliable companion from the time human first started to domesticate animals. During a last half of a decade, care for animal welfare has improved and evolved. To unify and standardize the indicators of good animal husbandry, Welfare Quality and AWIN projects were launched. Based on those two projects, in year 2014 the IZSAM Teramo debuted a Shelter Quality protocol for shelter dogs, making data collected in different nation shelters comparable and repeatable. General public and modern society require for abandoned and stray dogs to be captured and detained in shelters in most European countries. Although Slovenia has a high adoption rate, dogs can be confined in shelters for a long time due to no-kill policy many shelters carry out. There was little research done in Slovenia, regarding welfare in dog shelters. In 2015 Cvetič analyzed and compared two Slovenian shelters just by their compliance with the state law. According to that pilot study, Shelter quality protocol proved to be not only easy to implement but also provided systematic data which could identify welfare weak points in certain shelter.
