How do I contact the shelter about Forest?

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

Can I adopt Forest 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 Forest 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 Forest 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 Forest 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.

Forest

Mixed Breed · Male

Forest was found on Slanecká street in Košice. He came to us very frightened and had no socialization whatsoever. Out of fear, he would tremble in all directions, and was extremely scared at any hint of touch. It took us a very long time until we found a common way and now it's much better. As we wrote in the beginning, Forest came to us shy and unsocialized - not used to human touch, collar and basic things. Forest is still initially shy with new people and gets a bit stiff and waits, but there's no sign of fearful aggression anymore! Patience and a kind approach are what he needs and then he becomes a fantastic dog! Forest needs an experienced, patient owner who knows how to react properly, how to proceed and together they will find the right way. When the fear and uncertainty pass, Forest will become a wonderful, loving and faithful dog. He is a little golden treasure that wants to cuddle and will fulfill everything you want. Forest has an otherwise perfect temperament. He is active just enough and adapts well. When it's time to rest, he will calmly lie down, when it's time to move, he will go with you to the end of the world. With dogs and female dogs he is absolutely non-conflicting and has a more submissive nature, but also enjoys playing with them, especially with females. It would definitely be a big plus if Forest had a balanced canine companion in the house. He has good hygiene habits, behaves politely and interaction with a person he is already used to is trouble-free. Forest is not the type of dog that will run to you and jump around and cheer, but as the saying goes "patience brings roses", in this case it will bring you a faithful and loving four-legged friend.

Forest sa našiel na ulici Slanecká v Košiciach. Prišiel ku nám veľmi vystrašený a chýbala mu akákoľvek socializácia. Zo strachu kusal na všetky strany, pri akomkoľvek náznaku dotyku bol extrémne vystrašený. Trvalo veľmi dlho pokiaľ sme si našli spoločnú cestu a teraz je to už oveľa lepšie. Tak ako sme v úvode napísali Forest k nám prišiel plachý a nesocializovaný – nezvyknutý na ľudský dotyk, obojok a úplne základne veci. Forest je ešte stále k novým ľuďom spočiatku plachý a trošku pri nich stuhne a čaká, ale už žiadny náznak strachovej agresivity! Trpezlivosť a láskavý prístup je to čo potrebuje a potom sa z neho stane fantastický psík! Forest potrebuje skúseného, trpezlivého majiteľa, ktorý vie ako správne reagovať, ako postupovať a spolu nájdu správnu cestu. Keď pominie strach a neistota Forest sa zmení na úžasného, milujucého a verného psíka. Je to zlatíčko, ktoré sa chce maznať a splní Vám všetko čo budete chcieť. Forest má inak perfektnú povahu. Aktívny je tak akurát a prispôsobí sa. Keď je čas na oddych, bude pokojne ležať, keď je čas na pohyb pôjde s Vami aj na koniec sveta. So psami a fenkami je absolútne nekonfliktný a má skôr submisívnu povahu, ale aj rád sa s nimi pohrá, hlavne s fenočkami. Určite by bolo veľké plus ak by v domove mal Forest vyrovnaného psieho kamaráta. Hygienické návyky má, dnu sa správa slušne a manipulácia pri človeku na ktorého už je zvyknutý je bezproblémová. Forest nie je typ psíka, ktorý ku Vám pribehne a začne po Vás skákať a tešiť sa, ale ako sa hovorí “Trpezlivosť ruže prináša” tak v tomto prípade Vám prinesie verného a milujúceho štvornohého priateľa.

About Forest

What life with Forest looks like

Forest 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.
