BORIS

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Borisko is such a nice short-legged dog. Companion with female dogs and cats, but still does not look at the puppies as the best friend. With strangers he always gives "majzla" (he is cautious) but this will change over time. Currently, during introduction, fear prevails more than courage, even though he tries to look tough, but it doesn't go well on his low body. Obviously, he is a fighter and short legs are no handicap. To not just be about bragging, we must note that he is really a golden puppy who is trying and definitely deserves a chance at life in a home. Under his Napoleonic demeanor, there is a big heart of a long-legged dog ????.

SK·Show original

Borisko je taká milá krátkonôžka. Kamarát s fenkami aj mačkami, no na psíkov ešte nepozerá ako na naj kamošou. Na cudzích ľudí si dáva stále "majzla" (je opatrný) ale to sa všetko časom mení. Momentálne pri zoznamovaní prevláda skôr strach ako odvaha ,aj keď sa snaží vyzerať drsne nejak mu to na tom nízkom podvozku nejde. ???? Samozrejme je to borec a krátke nohy nie sú žiadny hendikep. Aby to nebolo len o ohováraní musíme podotknúť ,že je to skutočne zlaté psíča ktoré sa snaží a určite si zaslúži šancu na život v domove. Pod tým jeho Napoleonskym vystupovaním sa schováva veľké srdce dlhonoheho psa ????

About BORIS

What life with BORIS looks like

BORIS is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Karanténna stanica Banská Bystrica (Zvolen) in Zvolen.

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 BORIS, answered.

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