Berry

Mixed Breed · Male

Berry came into our care through the Košice Municipal Police following the death of his owner. He was a well-cared-for dog who was accustomed to living in a home environment. Berry is a young, playful, and active dog. He loves toys, stuffed animals, and balls, and enjoys participating in games and various activities. He’s a typical Chihuahua mix, and as such, he has quite a distinctive head shape. He’s not the kind of dog who becomes friends with everyone within minutes. He approaches new people more cautiously and builds trust gradually. However, once he warms up to someone, he forms a strong bond and allows them pretty much anything. Handling him is no problem—as long as he trusts the person. He’s intelligent, sensitive, and keenly aware of what’s going on around him. He needs an owner who respects his nature and doesn’t expect unconditional obedience from him. HEALTH STATUS: Berry underwent veterinary examinations due to mobility issues in his hind legs. He was diagnosed with bilateral hip luxation of grade 2 and a spinal condition. Currently, his health does not significantly limit him; he enjoys going for walks, playing, and functioning like any other young dog. In the future, it will be important to keep him in good physical condition and at a healthy weight. Veterinarians currently recommend conservative management without surgical intervention. He gets along very well with female dogs—he loves playing with them and encourages them to have fun. When walking, he meets other dogs calmly and without any problems. Indoors, he behaves nicely, doesn’t destroy things, and is used to apartment living. With regular walks, he has developed good hygiene habits. Berry is ideally looking for a home in an apartment or a house with indoor access. We’re seeking people who can provide him with plenty of exercise and activities while also respecting his personality. In return for their trust, he’ll repay them with loyalty and become a wonderful companion for many years to come.

Berry sa k nám dostal prostredníctvom Mestskej polície Košice po úmrtí svojho majiteľa. Bol to psík, o ktorého bolo dobre postarané a ktorý bol zvyknutý na život v domácnosti. Berry je mladý, hravý a aktívny psík. Má rád hračky, plyšáky aj loptičky a rád sa zapája do hier a rôznych aktivít. Je to typický kríženec čau-čau, a tak má aj svoju hlavu. Nie je to psík, ktorý sa spriatelí s každým za pár minút. K novým ľuďom pristupuje opatrnejšie a dôveru si buduje postupne. Keď si však človeka obľúbi, vytvorí si k nemu silné puto a dovolí mu prakticky všetko. Manipulácia je s ním bez problémov, pokiaľ človeku dôveruje. Je inteligentný, vnímavý a dobre si uvedomuje, čo sa okolo neho deje. Potrebuje človeka, ktorý bude rešpektovať jeho povahu a nebude od neho očakávať bezvýhradnú poslušnosť. ZDRAVOTNÝ STAV: Berry absolvoval veterinárne vyšetrenia pre problémy s pohybom zadných končatín. Bola u neho diagnostikovaná obojstranná luxácia jabĺčok 2. stupňa a zmena v oblasti chrbtice. Aktuálne ho zdravotný stav výrazne neobmedzuje, rád chodí na prechádzky, hrá sa a funguje ako bežný mladý psík. Do budúcna bude dôležité udržiavať ho v primeranej kondícii a hmotnosti. Veterinári momentálne odporučili konzervatívny manažment bez operačného riešenia. S fenkami vychádza veľmi dobre, rád sa s nimi hrá a vyzýva ich k šanteniu. So psami sa pri venčení stretáva pokojne a bez problémov. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne, veci neničí a je zvyknutý na život v byte. Pri pravidelnom venčení má hygienické návyky. Berry si hľadá domov ideálne v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dovnútra. Hľadáme pre neho ľudí, ktorí mu doprajú dostatok pohybu, aktivít a zároveň budú rešpektovať jeho povahu. Za svoju dôveru sa odvďačí vernosťou a bude skvelým spoločníkom na dlhé roky.

About Berry

What life with Berry looks like

Berry is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at ÚVP Košice in Slovakia.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Berry?
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 Berry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Berry 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 Berry 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 Berry 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 Berry 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.
