Actor Goran Višnjić and wife Eva adopt rescued dog Lou after shelter return

A rescued dachshund named Lou, taken from the abusive conditions on Učka, was initially adopted by Lana Lourdes Rupić, the 19‑year‑old daughter of Croatian actor Goran Višnjić. After the dog allegedly attacked the family's cat, the Rijeka animal shelter returned Lou to its facility, sparking public criticism and comments from the animal‑rights group Prijatelji životinja.

The shelter announced that Lou would receive a new home, confirming that actor Goran Višnjić and his wife Eva have agreed to adopt the dog, preventing it from remaining in the shelter.

The case has drawn attention to animal‑welfare responsibilities and the role of public figures in adopting rescued pets.
