Bubo

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 4 years

Bubo sadly has not experienced much in his life and has not seen much. From a young age, he was constantly confined in a kennel run. When he came to us, he was afraid of everything, nothing was familiar. Gradually, he became brave and now knows human touch, play and chase. Bubo is learning to walk on a leash and hygiene. He would be ideal for a family where there is already a dog...

Bubo žiaľ za svoj život veľa toho nezažil a nevidel. Od malička bol nonstop zavretý v koterci. Keď prišiel k nám bál sa všetkého, nič nepoznal. Postupne sa osmelil a už pozná ľudsky dotyk, hru a naháňačky. Bubo sa učí chodiť na vodíku a aj hygiene. Ideálny by bol do rodiny kde už psík je...

About Bubo

What life with Bubo looks like

Bubo is a medium-sized adult border collie dog waiting at OZ Centrum nájdených zvierat in Ružomberok.

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 Bubo, answered.

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