Abstract

The aim was to assess the impact of missing dogs’ features on their recovery in the City of Zagreb. The features of 433 dogs reported lost by their owners in 2014 were obtained from the Suza Info Centre database.
Of these 433 dogs, 305 (70%) were found and returned to their owners. Dog recovery was significantly influenced by the following features: dog size and color (P<0.001), microchipping (P<0.01) and castration
(P<0.05).
