Adopt Bobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Bobby is looking for a new home! Bobby was reported as seriously injured, he was bitten by other dogs. He had bad wounds on his neck and elbows, but they have already healed and Bobby is now enjoying a happy and peaceful life in the shelter, but he would like his own home. Despite the bad experience, Bobby is non-confrontational with other dogs, whether female dogs or other males. Sometimes he is shy in new situations. When he gets used to it, he is a sweetie who likes to be petted, he would just lie on the couch or in bed all day. Bobby is an older dog, we are looking for a calmer home for him, he also has joint problems, so he no longer requires long walks, just a quick walk and back home, he will need joint nutrition for the rest of his life, but this does not limit him in any way. For Bobby, we are looking for a home without small children, he might be able to live with a cat. Suitable for an apartment, he is clean.

Bobby hľadá nový domov! Bobby bol nahlásený ako ťažko zranený, dohrýzli ho druhé psy. Mal škaredé rany na krku a lakti, ale tie sa už zahojili a Bobby si užíva šťastný a pokojný život v útulku, avšak už by rád svoj vlastný domov. Aj napriek zlej skúsenosti je Bobby s ostatnými psami nekonfliktný, či už s fenkami alebo aj s druhými samcami. Niekedy ešte v nových situáciách býva bojazlivý. Keď si zvykne je to maznáčik, ktorý sa rád hladká, celé dni by len lebedil na gauči či v posteli. Bobby je už starší psík, hľadáme pre neho kľudnejší domov, má aj problémy s kĺbami, takže už nevyžaduje dlhé prechádzky, len rýchlo vyvenčiť a späť dnu, bude potrebovať doživorne kĺbovú výživu, ale nijak ho to neobmedzuje. Pre Bobbyho pokoj hľadáme domov bez malých detí, možno by zvládol žiť s mačičkou. Vhodný aj do bytu, je čistotný.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo in Slovakia.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇸🇰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 Bobby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bobby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bobby if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo 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 Bobby 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 Bobby 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 OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bobby 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.
