Doguš

Mixed Breed · Male

Doguš was found on the street Kurtská 29 in Košice. It is a young, playful and energetic puppy who must see, smell and explore everything. It will thoroughly examine a new environment from the first to the last corner - always looking for something new to discover. When meeting unfamiliar people, it is initially cautious, but with a little patience and a few treats, Doguš quickly becomes a cheerful friend. Once it gets used to a person, it very much seeks their proximity - when alone in the exercise run, it tries to get behind the person, so in a new home it needs quality and safe fencing. It likes fetching, chasing, balls and various toys, simply put, it is an active young puppy that enjoys every day to the fullest. Handling it is trouble-free in normal situations. However, during veterinary procedures, it panics out of fear, so it needs a muzzle - it's a reaction of uncertainty, not aggression. It doesn't get along with dogs yet, it tends to act dominantly. With female dogs it is problem-free, it likes to play with them and is relaxed around them. It behaves politely during the day, doesn't destroy things and has good hygiene habits with regular walks. Doguš is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with full access to the yard, or possibly in a well-insulated kennel and a safely fenced yard. It is ideal for an active family that will give it enough exercise, work with it, teach it new things and set clear boundaries so that it grows up balanced and happy.

Doguš sa našiel na ulici Kurtská 29 v Košiciach. Je to mladý, hravý a energický psík, ktorý musí všetko vidieť, ovoňať a preskúmať. Nové prostredie si prejde dôkladne od prvého do posledného rohu – stále hľadá niečo nové, čo by mohol objavovať. Pri stretnutí s neznámymi ľuďmi býva najskôr opatrný, no stačí chvíľa trpezlivosti a pár pamls­kov a Doguš sa rýchlo zmení na veselého kamaráta. Ak si na človeka zvykne, veľmi vyhľadáva jeho blízkosť – keď je vo výbehu sám, snaží sa dostať za človekom, preto v novom domove potrebuje kvalitné a bezpečné oplotenie. Má rád aportovanie, naháňačky, loptičky aj rôzne hračky, jednoducho je to aktívny mladý psík, ktorý si rád užije každý deň naplno. Manipulácia je s ním v bežných situáciách bezproblémová. Pri veterinárnych úkonoch však zo strachu panikári, preto potrebuje náhubok – je to reakcia z neistoty, nie z agresivity. So psami zatiaľ nevychádza, má tendenciu pôsobiť dominantne. S fenkami je bezproblémový, rád sa s nimi hrá a je pri nich uvoľnený. Dnu sa správa slušne, veci neničí a hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení. Doguš si hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s úplným prístupom dnu, prípadne pri dobre zateplenej búdke a bezpečne oplotenom pozemku. Je ideálny pre aktívnu rodinu, ktorá mu dopraje dostatok pohybu, bude s ním pracovať, učiť ho novým veciam a nastaví mu jasné hranice, aby z neho vyrástol vyrovnaný a spokojný pes.

About Doguš

What life with Doguš looks like

Doguš 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 Doguš, answered.

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