How do I contact the shelter about Apollo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Apollo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Apollo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Apollo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Apollo isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Apollo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (SK). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Apollo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Apollo is looking for a new home! This gentle giant is searching for a loving new family. Previously, he lived with fellow residents, but when he started running away, he ended up on a chain. He was even at risk of being put down! At first glance, this dog may seem intimidating, and he can be a bit shy upon initial contact—but once he gets used to someone, he becomes the sweetest little companion. Apollo actually thinks he’s a tiny puppy rather than a 45-kilogram giant. He’d happily jump all over your head with joy! He loves people and has even lived with children. He gets along with other dogs on an individual basis, but he doesn’t seek out conflicts; rather, he tends to get along well with female dogs, while his attitude toward male dogs depends on personal chemistry. Apollo is looking for a family that can provide him with plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation—and above all, lots of love. Due to his size, he’s best suited for a yard with indoor access—though he’s perfectly clean indoors and could easily adapt to living inside as well.

SK·Show original

Apollo hľadá nový domov! Tento nežný obor hľadá novú milujúcu rodinu, predtým žil u spoluobčanov a keď začal utekať, tak skončil na reťazi. Hrozilo mu dokonca utratenie! Tento pes vyzerá spočiatku hrozivo, pri prvom kontakte môže byť trochu bojazlivý, ale keď si na niekoho zvykne, je to najväčší miláčik. Apollo si totiž myslí, že je malinké šteniatko a nie 45 kilový obor. Od radosti by vám poskákal aj po hlave. Ľudí miluje, žil aj s deťmi. S druhými psami sa znáša individuálne, ale konflikty nevyhľadáva, skôr si rozumie so sučkami, samci podľa sympatií. Apollo hľadá rodinu, ktorá mu zabezpečí dostatok aktivity, aj psychického vyžitia a hlavne lásky. Kvôli veľkosti vhodný skôr na dvor, ale s prístupom dnu, vnútri je čistotný, takže kľudne aj vhodný dnu.

About Apollo

What life with Apollo looks like

Apollo is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo in Slovakia.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇸🇰Adopting from Slovakia

Slovak rescue groups coordinate cross-border transport with European partners. Animals are chipped and vaccinated; sterilization is often included for adults and arranged post-adoption for puppies/kittens.
