Borko

Mixed Breed · Male

Borko was regularly wandering around the village of Valaliky, until he was finally found injured - he had a laceration on the inner thigh, which needed to be sutured under anesthesia. We provided veterinary care and since he had a chip, we contacted his owner. However, without hesitation, the owner decided to give up Borka, and now he is waiting for a new home where he will really be wanted and loved. At his age, he is still relatively active, but he also knows how to rest. He likes to be scratched, petted, and enjoys attention. When he has some time to himself, he happily lies in his bed and rests. He has no problems with people, is friendly, and handling him is completely problem-free. Inside, he behaves politely, doesn't destroy anything, and has good hygiene habits. He gets along with dogs according to his preferences and gets along well with female dogs.

Borko sa pravidelne túlal v obci Valaliky, až sa nakoniec našiel so zranením – mal tržnú ranu na vnútornom stehne, ktorú bolo potrebné zašiť v narkóze. Veterinárne ošetrenie sme mu zabezpečili a keďže mal čip, kontaktovali sme jeho majiteľa. Ten sa však bez rozmýšľania rozhodol Borka vzdať, a tak teraz čaká na nový domov, kde ho budú naozaj chcieť a milovať. Na svoj vek je stále pomerne aktívny, ale zároveň vie aj oddychovať. Rád sa nechá škrabkať, hladkať a užíva si pozornosť. Keď má chvíľu pre seba, spokojne si poleží vo svojom peliešku a odpočíva. S ľuďmi nemá žiadny problém, je priateľský a manipulácia s ním je úplne bezproblémová. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne, nič neničí a má hygienické návyky. So psami vychádza podľa sympatií a s fenkami vychádza bez problémov.

About Borko

What life with Borko looks like

Borko 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 Borko, answered.

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