Francis

Mixed Breed · Male

Francis is one of ten puppies that arrived at our shelter on September 20, 2026, along with his mother Fidorkka from Floriánska Street in Košice. His siblings are the female puppies Ferbi, Fee, and Falone, and the male puppies Farel, Florin, Flanco, Figaro, Frank, and Fino. Francis is still a tiny puppy, gradually discovering the world around him. He is waiting for a period of games, exploration, and learning everything he will need to adulthood. It is important that he gains positive experiences with people, new environments, and various situations from an early age. Like any puppy, he will need patient and responsible owners who will devote themselves to him, teach him hygiene habits, basic obedience, and provide him with proper socialization. You should also expect typical puppy mischief, biting things, and a lot of energy. Francis is suitable for an apartment or a family home with full indoor access. He needs to grow up close to his family, be part of everyday life, and have plenty of attention, care, and shared activities. We are looking for a loving and responsible family for Francis, who realizes that adopting a puppy is a lifelong commitment. We are looking for people who will give him a safe home, patient upbringing, and everything he needs to grow into a happy and balanced dog.

Francis je jedným z desiatich zachránených šteniatok, ktoré sa 20. septembra 2026 dostali do nášho útulku spolu so svojou mamou Fidorkou z Floriánskej ulice v Košiciach. Jeho súrodencami sú fenky Ferbi, Fee a Falone a psíkovia Farel, Florin, Flanco, Figaro, Frank a Fino. Francis je ešte maličké šteniatko, ktoré postupne spoznáva svet okolo seba. Čaká ho obdobie hier, objavovania a učenia sa všetkého, čo bude potrebovať do dospelosti. Je dôležité, aby od malička získaval pozitívne skúsenosti s ľuďmi, novým prostredím a rôznymi situáciami. Ako každé šteniatko bude potrebovať trpezlivých a zodpovedných majiteľov, ktorí sa mu budú venovať, naučia ho hygienickým návykom, základom poslušnosti a doprajú mu správnu socializáciu. Treba počítať aj s typickými šteňacími nezbednosťami, hryzením vecí a množstvom energie. Francis je vhodný do bytu alebo rodinného domu s úplným prístupom dovnútra. Potrebuje vyrastať v blízkosti svojej rodiny, byť súčasťou každodenného života a mať dostatok pozornosti, starostlivosti a spoločných aktivít. Pre Francisa hľadáme milujúcu a zodpovednú rodinu, ktorá si uvedomuje, že adopcia šteniatka je záväzok na celý jeho život. Hľadáme ľudí, ktorí mu doprajú bezpečný domov, trpezlivú výchovu a všetko potrebné na to, aby z neho vyrástol spokojný a vyrovnaný psík.

About Francis

What life with Francis looks like

Francis is an 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 Francis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Francis?: 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 Francis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Francis 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Francis 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 Francis 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 Francis 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.
