How do I contact the shelter about Arya?

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

Can I adopt Arya if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mestský útulok Poprad 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 Arya 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 Arya 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 Mestský útulok Poprad early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arya 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.

Adopt Arya

Female · Young · 1 year

NEW INFO (23.5.2016): We bring you new information about the beautiful dog Arya, who was found abandoned on the street with a broken hip joint that was over a month old. Exactly two months have passed since the operation she underwent Arya right after arriving at the shelter. She fought and today with pride and a beautiful feeling in her heart we can announce: ARYA IS A HEALTHY DOG. She enjoys every walk and above all loves to run. She uses all four legs. "Yes, you read correctly. After being sick and emaciated, the dog that had not used one leg for weeks is no longer even a trace. Arya is a perfect female dog and is waiting at the shelter for a loving home. One morning, the city police received a report about a dog that was running around on three legs on Kvetnica. They caught her and brought her to the shelter. Despite the full capacity, we had to take her in. Could we say no to such a case? Our hearts would not allow it. With all our strength, we tried to find a place for her. Fortunately, a few hours later, two female dogs left for a temporary foster home and thus freed up the office for Arya. It was destiny... it was love at first sight... With great fear for our beloved ARYA, we rushed to the veterinary clinic in Poprad. Specialist and excellent orthopedist MVDr. Bystrík Nahalka examined her and gave the diagnosis. Arya had to endure a month or more of severe pain. The fracture probably occurred after a strong collision with a car. She didn't eat from the pain, had no appetite or strength to look for food and thus became thinner and thinner. Arya has undergone a complicated operation at the mentioned clinic. Less than three weeks after the operation, she started using the leg.

NOVE INFO (23.5.2016): Prinášame Vám nové informácie o krásnej fenke Aryi, ktorá sa našla vyhodená na ulici s mesiac a pol starou zlomeninou bedrového kĺbu. Práve dnes ubehli dva mesiace od operácie,ktorú podstúpila Arya hneď po príchode do útulku. Zabojovala a dnes s hrdosťou a krásnym pocitom na duši môžeme prehlásiť:, ARYA JE ZDRAVÝ PES. UŽÍVA SI KAŽDÚ PRECHÁDZKU A NAJRADŠEJ ZO VŠETKÉHO SA NAHÁŇA. POUŽÍVA VŠETKY ŠTYRI LABKY . “ Áno čítate správne. Po chorom, vychudnutom psovi,kt. dlhé týždne nepoužíval jednu labku nie je ani stopy. Arya je povahovo dokonalá fenka a v útulku čaká na milujúci domov 🙂 Jedného rána dostala mestská polícia hlásenie o fenke, ktorá sa splašene ťahá o troch nohách po Kvetnici. Odchytili ju a doniesli do útulku. Aj napriek plnému stavu sme ju museli prijať. Povedať nie takémuto prípadu? Srdce by nám to nedovolilo. Za každých síl sme sa pre ňu snažili nájsť miesto. Chvalabohu o pár hodín neskôr odišli do dočasnej opatery dve fenky a tak uvoľnili kanceláriu pre Aryu. Bol to osud….bola to láska na prvý pohľad… S veľkým strachom o našu milovanú ARYU sme utekali na veterinárnu klinku v Poprade. Odborník a skvelý ortopéd MVDr. Bystrík Nahalka ju vyšetril a vyslovil diagnózu. Arya musela vo veľkých bolestiach prežívať mesiac a viac. Zlomenina nastala zrejme po silnej zrážke s autom. Od bolestí nejedla, nemala chuť a silu hľadať si potravu a tak chudla, chudla… Aryu má za sebou komplikovanú operáciu na spomínanej klinike. Po necelých troch týždňoch po operácii začala labu používať. Veríme, že všetko zvládne a o pár mesiacov po rehabilitácii bude zase pobehovať po štyroch labkách 🙂

About Arya

What life with Arya looks like

Arya is a large young adult dog waiting at Mestský útulok Poprad in Poprad.

An young 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.
