How do I contact the shelter about Arthur?

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

Can I adopt Arthur if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ÚVP Košice 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 Arthur 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 Arthur 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 ÚVP Košice early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arthur 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.

Arthur

Mixed Breed · Male

Arthur was found in the village of Nováčany. He is an active and playful puppy, a little perpetual motion machine full of energy and curiosity. He really likes people and is immediately a companion to everyone. He has to be everywhere, see and examine everything - nothing escapes him! With Arthur you will experience many beautiful moments and fun adventures. He has a calm, but very lively character. He is always ready for any activity and will be a great buddy in the car or the basket. He loves walks, fetching, movement and everything where he can get enough exercise. Ideal candidate for digging work and treasure hunting in your garden! For Arthur to be happy and content, he needs enough physical and mental stimulation. Trips into nature, swimming in streams and active days with his family will be something he will love. Inside he is quiet - mostly just sleeping or resting, so he can also enjoy moments of peace and relaxation. He gets along with dogs according to his preferences, and has no problem with female dogs. However, he is not suitable for cats or other small animals. He has good hygiene habits and handling him is trouble-free. Arthur is looking for a home with active people - ideally in a house with access inside, but he can also manage an apartment if he has enough movement. He is also suitable for children and responsible first-time dog owners. YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ARTHUR: 1. "Today we had the opportunity to take a trip with Arthur from your shelter and I have to say that you are doing an amazing job. Arthur is a great puppy - obedient and loves children, which we confirmed with our two-year-old son. When the older children came home, he was excited to see them as if he had been with us all along, and we spent just a few hours together. We wish he could be part of our family, but the conditions currently don't allow it. However, we are happy that we can be with the dogs at least during walks or take them on a trip. Arthur is so obedient, amazing and calm! You can see that he has good hygiene habits - when he was at our home, he never had an accident, and when we took him out, he immediately did his business :). We were amazed at how beautifully the "shelter pup" himself went into the carrier intended for him. He was amazing and we had a great day with him today. We will definitely repeat the trip with him - and of course with other lovelies." 2. "Good day, yesterday we came to the shelter with the intention of taking a dog for a short trip. We couldn't decide who to choose, so we left it to chance. We were pleasantly surprised with the dog we got... his name is Arthur. Arthur is very smart, active, playful, curious and affectionate. He really likes to jump on people and start licking them, and also listens to commands. He perfectly masters the commands he has learned." 3. "Arthur was with us on a trip. He got into the car without any problems and was calm during the ride. He got along well with our female dog, and also reacted nicely to the children. He seemed like a very easygoing dog who doesn't pay much attention to anyone or anything and handles everything calmly. Outside, everything around him interested him, especially holes in the ground, which he examined with great enthusiasm. He is a calm dog who really enjoys scratching and human attention. Whoever adopts him will certainly not regret it. On the way back, he peacefully slept in the car."

Arthur sa túlal v obci Nováčany. Je to aktívny a hravý psík, také malé perpetuum mobile plné energie a zvedavosti. Ľudí má veľmi rád, s každým je hneď kamarát. Všade musí byť, všetko vidieť a preskúmať – nič mu neunikne! S Arthurom zažijete veľa pekných chvíľ a veselých dobrodružstiev. Má vyrovnanú, no veľmi živú povahu. Je stále pripravený na akúkoľvek aktivitu a bude skvelý parťák do voza aj do koča. Miluje prechádzky, aportovanie, pohyb a všetko, kde sa môže dosýta vyšantiť. Ideálny adept na výkopové práce a hľadanie pokladu vo vašej záhrade! Aby bol Arthur spokojný a šťastný, potrebuje dostatok fyzickej aj psychickej stimulácie. Výlety do prírody, kúpanie v potokoch a aktívne dni so svojou rodinou bude zbožňovať. Vo vnútri je však pokojný – väčšinou len spinká alebo oddychuje, takže si vie užiť aj chvíle pokoja a relaxu. So psami vychádza podľa sympatií, s fenkami nemá problém. Nie je však vhodný k mačkám ani iným menším zvieratkám. Hygienické návyky má zvládnuté a manipulácia s ním je bezproblémová. Arthur si hľadá domov u aktívnych ľudí – ideálne do domu s prístupom dovnútra, no zvládne aj byt, ak bude mať dostatok pohybu. Je vhodný aj k deťom a zvládnu ho aj zodpovední prvopsíčkari. VAŠA SKÚSENOSŤ S ARTHUROM: 1. “Dnes sme mali možnosť urobiť si výlet s Arthurkom z vášho útulku a musím povedať, že odvádzate úžasnú prácu. Arthurko je skvelý psík – poslušný a miluje deti, o čom sme sa presvedčili pri našom 2-ročnom synovi. Keď prišli staršie deti domov, tešil sa im, akoby bol s nami odjakživa, a to sme spolu strávili len pár hodín. Kiežby mohol byť súčasťou našej rodiny, no momentálne nám to podmienky neumožňujú. Sme však radi, že môžeme byť so psíkmi aspoň počas venčenia u vás alebo si ich vziať na výlet. Arthurko je taký poslušný, úžasný a pokojný! Je vidieť, že má hygienické návyky – keď bol u nás doma, ani raz sa nevycikal, a keď sme s ním išli von, okamžite sa vycikal :). Ostali sme v nemom úžase, ako krásne si „útulkáčik“ sám vošiel do prepravky určenej pre neho. Bol úžasný a my sme si s ním dnes užili krásny deň. Určite si výlet s ním ešte zopakujeme – a samozrejme aj s inými láskami.” 2. “Dobrý deň, včera sme prišli do útulku s tým, že si vezmeme psíka na menší výletík. Akurát sme sa nevedeli rozhodnúť, koho by sme si vybrali, tak sme to nechali na náhodu. Boli sme príjemne prekvapení, akého psíka sme dostali… jeho meno je Arthur. Artur je veľmi múdry, aktívny, hravý, zvedavý a láskavý. Veľmi rád skočí na človeka a začne ho olizovať, a tiež počúva na slovo. Povely, ktoré sa naučil, zvláda perfektne.” 3. “Arthur bol s nami na výlete. Do auta nastúpil úplne bez problémov a počas jazdy bol pokojný. S našou fenkou vychádzal bez problémov, rovnako pekne reagoval aj na deti. Pôsobil ako veľmi bezproblémový psík, ktorý si nikoho a nič zvlášť nevšíma a všetko zvláda pokojne. Vonku ho zaujímalo všetko okolo, najmä diery v zemi, ktoré s veľkým nadšením skúmal. Je to kľudný psík, ktorý si veľmi užíva škrabkanie a pozornosť človeka. Ten, kto si ho adoptuje, určite nebude ľutovať. Cestou späť si v aute spokojne pospinkal.”
