Goro

Husky · Male · Senior · 10 years

Goro is a dog who has been at the shelter for more than 2 years. He waits every day, sits in his kennel and believes that one day happiness will smile on him - on an older 10-year-old dog who would most like to spend his retirement in a loving family and a garden where he could run around and finally feel love. Gorko has just one problem. His previous owner has been training him since a very young age to bark at strangers and guard his space. Gorko, as a obedient dog, listened and does this. But once taken out of the kennel, he becomes a completely different dog. He wags his tail, is happy and would most like to lick you to death with kisses. He is a friendly family dog, probably a husky mix and NO. He is a grateful friend, a loyal companion for long walks, a lover of other dogs and children. Will he also get a chance at the home he has been dreaming of for so long?

SK·Show original

Goro je psík, ktorý v útulku trávi už viac ako 2 roky. Denne čaká, sedí na svojej búde a verí, že aj na neho sa raz usmeje šťastie – na staršieho 10-ročného psíka, ktorý by najradšej svoj dôchodok strávil v milujúcej rodine a v záhrade, kde by sa mohol vybehať, kde by konečne pocítil lásku. Gorko má však jediný problém. Jeho predošlá majiteľka mu už od útleho veku vštepovala, že má na cudzích ľudí brechať a má si strážiť svoj priestor. Gorko ju ako poslušný psík počúvol a robí to. Ale po vybratí z koterca sa z neho stane úplne iný psík. Vrtí chvostíkom, teší sa a pusinkami by vás najradšej ulízal až k smrti. Je to priateľský rodinný psík, pravdepodobne mix huskyho a NO. Je to vďačný priateľ, verný spoločník na dlhé prechádzky, milovník iných psíkov a detí. Dostane aj on šancu na domov, o ktorom už tak dlho sníva?

About Goro

What life with Goro looks like

Goro is a senior husky dog waiting at Mestský útulok Poprad in Poprad.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇸🇰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 Goro, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Goro?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mestský útulok Poprad handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Goro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Goro if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mestský útulok Poprad 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 Goro 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 Goro 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 Mestský útulok Poprad early rather than rehoming privately; they know Goro 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.
