How do I contact the shelter about Arny?

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

Can I adopt Arny if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Zlín-Vršava 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 Arny 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 Arny 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 Útulek Zlín-Vršava early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arny 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 (CS). 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.

Arny

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Arny returned to us after 9 months from his adoption. We were all quite surprised, especially the owner who had taken him in; they had been getting along very well during that time, going on long walks and runs together, and spending a trouble-free 9 months until he tripped and fell while walking. That's when Arny attacked him viciously (biting him multiple times). While fear could explain this at the time, the outburst against his owner continued even after several weeks in their home without any trigger... Moving back to the beginning of Arny's life, we know he was taken by a hunter but apparently only cared for him during the first year. He was then locked up in a driveway near the house for about 5 years with no walks; what exactly happened there is unknown. We mention this for the potential adopter's information. We don't know much, but these are crucial details. It's clear Arny needs an experienced owner, and it would probably be best to always use a muzzle when he goes outside his territory. Even during adoption, we recommend using a muzzle as much as possible; we don't know what triggers his outburst. Otherwise, he is a spirited dog, cheerful, but more complicated than meets the eye. Ideally, someone with experience in hunting dogs should take him...

Arny se nám bohužel po 9měsících vrátil zpět z adopce. Byli jsme všichni dost nemile překvapení, hlavně pán, který se Arnyho ujal, velmi hezky spolu celou tu dobu fungovali, chodili společně na dlouhé procházky, běhat a strávili spolu bez problémů celých 9měsíců, až do chvíle, kdy pán při proházce zakopl a upadl, tehdy se do něj Arny škaredě pustil (pokousal ho na více místech). Tehdy by se to dalo vysvětlit úlekem, ale výpad vůči majiteli se opakoval i po pár týdnech v domácím prostředí bez jakéhokoliv impulsu…. Pokud se přesuneme v čase na začátek Arnyho života, víme, že si jej pořídil pán – myslivec, ale věnoval se mu zřejmě jen v prvním roce života, následně byl asi 5let zavřený jen v průjezdu u domu, bez procházek, co se tam ale přesně odehrávalo, netušíme. Uvádíme to pro informaci pro případného zájemce. Víme toho málo, ale jsou to zásadní informace. Je jasné, že Arny potřebuje zkušeného chovatele, nejspíš by bylo nejlepší, aby byl vždy opatřen náhubkem, když půjde mimo své teritorium a i při osvojení doporučujeme využívat náhubek co nejvíce, nevíme, co je spouštěčem jeho amoku. Jinak je to temperementní pes, veselý, ale zřejmě složitější než se na první pohled zdá. Ideálně, kdyby se ho mohl ujmout někdo se zkušenostmi s loveckými psy….
