How do I contact the shelter about Blacky?

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

Can I adopt Blacky 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 Blacky 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 Blacky 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 Blacky 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.

Blacky

Mixed Breed · Male

Blacky was found on the street Námestie Jána Mathého in Košice. Blacky is active, playful and a cheerful puppy who always enjoys the company of people. He likes to move around and especially enjoys running and playing with his dog friends. Toys do not attract him much, he enjoys interaction and shared activities much more. He is friendly towards people, likes to welcome visitors and gets along well with children. With dogs - males according to his preferences, but with female dogs he is a great companion. If he finds a suitable dog friend, he can play nicely with him. Handling is problem-free with him. He has good hygiene habits with regular walks. He behaves politely during the day - sometimes he may chew on things from the bed, but nothing is destroyed and he quickly calms down. Blacky is suitable for an apartment or a house with full access to the yard. He will be a great companion for active people or a family that can give him enough movement, attention and shared moments. YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH BLACKY: 1. "Blacky was with us on a trip. During the trip he was calm, immediately lay down in the carrier and managed the entire ride without problems. On walks he behaved balanced and calmly - the puppy either ignored other dogs or behaved friendly. We met children who could pet him without any problems, contact with people did not cause him any problems. He was curious about everything around him, but did not pull and quickly understood how the flexi leash works. He responded well to his name and calling and enjoyed the walk fully - whether in the forest or on the housing estate. In internal spaces he behaved politely. At first he was a bit afraid of the elevator, but on the second time he entered without hesitation and even stood on his hind legs to look into the mirror. With the home dog he behaved nicely, did not bother her, sometimes they even played. Although the trip did not go exactly as planned and we had to drive more by car, Blacky was patient and calm - even when loading the things he patiently waited by the car. During walks we also heard fireworks, which scared him for a moment, but he did not react to them in any way. Overall, he seemed like a balanced young puppy who can handle longer trips, but also knows how to enjoy a quiet lying on the couch."

Blacky sa našiel na ulici Námestie Jána Mathého v Košiciach. Blacky je aktívny, hravý a veselý psík, ktorý sa vždy poteší spoločnosti ľudí. Má rád pohyb, šantenie a najradšej je, keď môže behať a naháňať sa so psími kamarátmi. Hračky ho veľmi nelákajú, oveľa viac si užíva interakciu a spoločnú aktivitu. Je priateľský k ľuďom, rád víta návštevy a bez problémov si rozumie aj s deťmi. So psami – samcami vychádza podľa sympatií, ale s fenkami je veľký kamarát. Keď si však nájde vhodného psieho kamaráta, dokáže sa s ním krásne pohrať. Manipulácia je s ním bezproblémová. Hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení. Dnu sa správa slušne – občas si síce povyťahuje veci z pelieška, no nič neničí a rýchlo sa upokojí. Blacky je vhodný do bytu alebo do domu s úplným prístupom dnu. Bude skvelým spoločníkom pre aktívnych ľudí alebo rodinu, ktorá mu dopraje dostatok pohybu, pozornosti a spoločných chvíľ. VAŠA SKÚSENOSŤ S BLACKYM: 1. „Blacky bol s nami na výlete. Počas cesty bol pokojný, hneď si ľahol do prepravky a celú jazdu zvládol bez problémov. Na prechádzke pôsobil vyrovnane a kľudne – psíkov buď ignoroval, alebo sa správal priateľsky. Stretli sme aj deti, ktoré ho mohli bez problémov pohladkať, kontakt s ľuďmi mu nerobil žiadny problém. Bol zvedavý na všetko okolo seba, no neťahal a veľmi rýchlo pochopil, ako funguje flexi vodítko. Pekne reagoval na meno aj na privolanie a prechádzku si naplno užíval – či už v lese, alebo na sídlisku. Vo vnútorných priestoroch sa správal slušne. Výťahu sa spočiatku trošku bál, no na druhý raz už vošiel bez zaváhania a dokonca sa postavil na zadné labky, aby sa mohol pozrieť do zrkadla. S domácou fenkou sa správal pekne, neotravoval ju, chvíľami sa aj pohrali. Hoci nám výlet nevyšiel úplne podľa plánu a museli sme viac cestovať autom, Blacky bol trpezlivý a pokojný – aj pri vykladaní vecí pekne čakal pri aute. Počas prechádzky sme počuli aj petardy, ktoré ho síce na chvíľu vyľakali, no nijako ich neriešil. Celkovo pôsobil ako vyrovnaný mladý psík, ktorý zvládne dlhšie výlety, ale rovnako si vie užiť aj pokojné leňošenie na gauči.“
