How do I contact the shelter about Freya?

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

Can I adopt Freya 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 Freya 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 Freya 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 Freya 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.

Freya

Mixed Breed · Female

Freya was found wandering in the village of Dvorníky after New Year's. She lay on the same street for three days, but was very cautious and afraid to approach people. One lady managed to lure her into the yard. Nobody in the village knew her, she had no chip and nobody claimed her. Freya is a very loyal female dog. When she forms trust with a person, she sticks to them like a shadow and their presence gives her a sense of security. She now enjoys people and likes human contact. At first she was more shy around new people and needed more time to get used to them. However, she has made great progress - she is now allowed to be walked by strangers and feels much more secure in the presence of a person. She handles handling well, we can easily put a collar and muzzle on her. Initially she was very scared and panicked on a leash, but she gradually got used to walking on a leash and it no longer causes her problems. She currently shows little interest in toys. She prefers to walk calmly next to a person or lie down at her spot and relax. She has good hygiene habits with regular walks and behaves politely, not destroying things. She gets along with dogs according to her preferences and does not get along with female dogs yet, but this may change over time. Freya is looking for a home in a house with a well-insulated shelter, ideally with calmer people who will give her time, stability and a safe environment. Ideally without small children. She would be a great companion for someone who appreciates her gentle nature and gives her a chance to finally live a peaceful life without fear.

Freya sa našla po Silvestri túlať v obci Dvorníky. Tri dni ležala na tej istej ulici, no bola veľmi opatrná a k ľuďom sa bála priblížiť. Až jednej pani sa ju podarilo nalákať na dvor. V obci ju nikto nepoznal, nemala čip a nikto sa k nej neprihlásil. Freya je veľmi oddaná fenočka. Keď si k človeku vytvorí dôveru, drží sa ho ako tieň a jeho prítomnosť jej dáva pocit istoty. Ľuďom sa teraz už teší a kontakt s človekom si užíva. Na začiatku bola pri nových ľuďoch plachšia a potrebovala viac času, aby si zvykla. Postupne však spravila veľké pokroky – dnes sa už nechá venčiť aj cudzími ľuďmi a v prítomnosti človeka sa cíti oveľa istejšie. Manipuláciu zvláda, bez problémov jej vieme nasadiť obojok aj náhubok. Zo začiatku bola na vodítku veľmi vystrašená a panikárila, no postupne si na chôdzu na vodítku zvykla a už jej nerobí problém. O hračky zatiaľ veľmi záujem nejaví. Najradšej sa pokojne prejde vedľa človeka alebo si ľahne na svoje miestečko a oddychuje. Hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení a správa sa slušne, veci neničí. So psami vychádza podľa sympatií a s fenkami zatiaľ nevychádza, no môže sa to časom zmeniť. Freya hľadá domov v dome s kvalitnou zateplenou búdou, ideálne u pokojnejších ľudí, ktorí jej doprajú čas, stabilitu a bezpečné prostredie. Ideálne bez menších detí. Bude skvelou spoločníčkou pre niekoho, kto ocení jej jemnú povahu a dá jej šancu konečne žiť pokojný život bez strachu.

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is a small 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.
