How do I contact the shelter about Betty?

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 Betty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Betty 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 Betty 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 Betty 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 Betty 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.

Betty

Mixed Breed · Female

Betty was found on Dvorkinova street in Košice. The first days with us she was scared and shy, but now she is a completely different dog. During the veterinary examination, several sores were found on her body, an old scar on the nose and scales. Betty is a big golden retriever, kind and extremely loyal female dog. She is still a bit shy, but this is probably a result of her previous life. She is afraid of sudden movements and loud sounds, but NEVER shows aggression. She likes people and strangers, really enjoys attention and can't get enough of being petted. Betty is calm and active just right. She will be a perfect companion for walks, but also for relaxing with her family. She prefers a comfortable bed rather than "running around". You will definitely appreciate her sensible and calm nature. Betty gets along with dogs and female dogs, but she does not specifically seek their company. Handling is trouble-free once she knows the person, she has hygiene habits and behaves politely.

Betty sa našla na ulici Dvorkinova v Košiciach. Prvé dni u nás bola vyplašená a bojazlivá, ale teraz je z nej úplne iný psík. Pri veterinárnej prehliadke boli zistené viaceré chrasty po tele, stará jazva na nose a šupiny. Betty je veľké zlatíčko, milá a neskutočne oddaná fenočka. Stále je trošku plachšia, ale to je pravdepodobne následok jej predchádzajúceho života. Bojí sa prudkých pohybov a výrazných zvukov, ale NIKDY sa neprejaví agresívne. Ľudí má rada aj cudzích, veľmi si užíva pozornosť a nevie sa nabažiť hladkania. Betty je pokojná a aktívna tak akurát. Bude perfektná parťáčka na prechádzkach, ale aj pri oddychu so svojou rodinkou. Skôr preferuje pohodlný peliešok ako “bláznenie”. Jej rozumnú a pokojnú povahu určite oceníte. Betty vychádza so psami aj s fenkami, ale ich spoločnosť vyslovene nevyhľadáva. Manipulácia je bezproblémová ak už človeka pozná, má hygienické návyky a dnu sa správa slušne.

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty 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.
