How do I contact the shelter about Bubka?

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

Can I adopt Bubka 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 Bubka 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 Bubka 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 Bubka 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.

Bubka

Mixed Breed · Female

Bubka came to us from the district of Košice - Luník IX. She came neglected, with fleas, ticks and a huge fear in her eyes. At first, she was very afraid of any handling - when touched or lifted, she often shook with fear or even urinated. Now she is more courageous. She loves being brushed - then she completely relaxes and lets herself be petted. She is happy to see people, lets herself be petted, and carefully watches her surroundings... but sudden movements can still scare her. Each day, however, she makes small, yet beautiful progress. She gets along well with dogs and female dogs without problems. She likes to play with them, but often also happily rests in her bed. Handling is now completely problem-free. She has gotten used to collar and leash, but she may still shake when lifted - she will need a gentle approach and loving guidance. She has mastered hygiene habits with regular walks. During the day, she behaves politely and doesn't damage anything.

Bubka k nám prišla z mestskej časti Košíc – Luník IX. Prišla zanedbaná, s blchami, kliešťami a obrovským strachom v očiach. Zo začiatku sa veľmi bála akejkoľvek manipulácie – pri dotyku alebo zdvihnutí sa často zo strachu pocikala či dokonca pokakala. Teraz je už odvážnejšia. Hladkanie zbožňuje – vtedy sa úplne uvoľní a nechá sa mojkať. Človeku sa poteší, nechá sa pohladkať, zvedavo sleduje okolie… no prudké pohyby ju stále vedia vyľakať. Každým dňom však robí malé, no krásne pokroky. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov. Rada sa s nimi pohrá, ale často si tiež spokojne odpočinie v peliešku. Manipulácia je už celkom bezproblémová. Zvykla si na obojok aj vodítko, no stále sa môže pri zdvihnutí pocikať – bude potrebovať jemný prístup a láskavé vedenie. Má zvládnuté hygienické návyky pri pravidelnom venčení. Dnu sa správa slušne a nič neničí.

About Bubka

What life with Bubka looks like

Bubka is a extra-large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
