How do I contact the shelter about Finley?

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

Can I adopt Finley 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 Finley 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 Finley 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 Finley 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.

Finley

Mixed Breed · Male

Finley was found on Luník IX with his neck and front paw bandaged with duct tape. After removing the tape, veterinarians discovered extensive injuries to his front paw and severely injured ear. He underwent hospitalization, regular wound care, and weeks of treatment. Veterinarians believed that his injuries may have been caused by burns, but we still don't know what exactly happened to him. Now everything is different. Finley is healthy, his skin has healed, and the little patient has become a happy young dog ready to find his home. Finley is an energetic, joyful, and eager-to-live puppy. He loves playing, exploring new things, and chasing after his canine friends. He is initially cautious around strangers and tends to snub them. However, this is not a sign of aggression, but rather uncertainty. It only takes him a short moment, a calm approach, and some treats for him to become the best friend out of a stranger. He gets along with both male and female dogs and loves playing with them. Handling is no problem. He has good hygiene habits with regular walks outside, and he behaves well indoors. Finley is looking for a home in an apartment or house with full indoor access. Given his shorter legs, he probably won't be the perfect partner for all-day mountain hikes, but he will enjoy walks, trips suitable to his abilities, and shared activities. Finley is looking for a home where he can be a full member of the family and live life exactly as he deserves.

Finley sa našiel na Luníku IX s obviazaným krkom a prednou labkou lepiacou páskou. Po jej odstránení veterinári odhalili rozsiahle poranenie prednej labky aj výrazne poranenú ušnicu. Nasledovala hospitalizácia, pravidelné ošetrovanie rán a dlhé týždne liečby. Veterinári sa domnievali, že jeho zranenia mohli vzniknúť následkom popálenín, no dodnes nevieme, čo sa mu presne stalo. Teraz je však všetko inak. Finley je zdravý, jeho koža je zahojená a z malého pacienta sa stal veselý mladý psík pripravený nájsť si svoj domov. Finley je odrastené šteniatko plné energie, radosti a chuti do života. Je hravý, zvedavý a rád objavuje nové veci. Miluje spoločné hry, rád sa hrá s hračkami a ešte radšej sa naháňa so psími kamarátmi. K cudzím ľuďom je spočiatku opatrnejší a zvykne ich oštekať. Nie je to však prejav agresivity, ale skôr neistoty. Stačí mu krátka chvíľka, pokojný prístup a pár maškŕt a z neznámeho človeka je razom najlepší kamarát. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov a veľmi rád sa s nimi hrá. Manipulácia je bezproblémová. Hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení a vo vnútri sa správa slušne. Finley si hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s úplným prístupom dovnútra. Vzhľadom na svoje kratšie nožičky z neho pravdepodobne nebude parťák na celodenné horské túry, no prechádzky, výlety primerané jeho možnostiam a spoločné aktivity si bude veľmi užívať. Finley hľadá domov, kde bude plnohodnotným členom rodiny a kde si bude môcť užívať život presne tak, ako si zaslúži.

About Finley

What life with Finley looks like

Finley 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.
