How do I contact the shelter about Grif?

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

Can I adopt Grif 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 Grif 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 Grif 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 Grif 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.

Grif

Mixed Breed · Male

Grif was found on Krčméryho street in Košice. He came to the shelter together with Kody - he was neglected, thin and scared. He found the new environment difficult, was very shy and initially it was hard to handle him. He needed time, calmness and a sensitive approach to start trusting. Now he is a cheerful, active dog who loves attention, petting and scratching. With new people he may be more cautious, but with patience and a loving approach he will become a kind, grateful companion. Toys do not interest him much, sometimes he plays with his dog friends. He chooses his playmates, but he gets along best with Kody, with whom he came - they form a very well-matched pair. He gets along well with female dogs. Handling is trouble-free, but he is more nervous during veterinary procedures. He is afraid of sudden movements, so he needs a calm approach. He has good hygiene habits with regular walks, he behaves politely and does not destroy things. Grif is suitable for an apartment or house with access to a yard, for moderately active people who will approach him patiently and with love. It would be great if he found a home together with Kody, but it is not a requirement.

Grif sa našiel na ulici Krčméryho v Košiciach. Do útulku prišiel spolu s Kodym – bol zanedbaný, chudý a vystrašený. Nové prostredie znášal ťažšie, bol veľmi ustráchaný a spočiatku sa s ním nedalo dobre manipulovať. Potreboval čas, pokoj a citlivý prístup, aby začal dôverovať. Teraz je z neho veselý, aktívny psík, ktorý má rád pozornosť, hladkanie a škrabkanie. Pri nových ľuďoch môže byť opatrnejší, no s trpezlivosťou a láskavým prístupom sa z neho stane milý, vďačný mojkáč. Hračky ho veľmi nezaujímajú, občas sa pohrá so psími kamarátmi. Psov si vyberá, no najlepšie vychádza s Kodym, s ktorým prišiel – tvoria spolu veľmi zohratú dvojicu. S fenkami vychádza bez problémov. Manipulácia je bezproblémová, len pri veterinárnych úkonoch býva nervóznejší. Bojí sa prudkých pohybov, preto potrebuje pokojný prístup. Hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení, dnu sa správa slušne a veci neničí. Grif je vhodný do bytu alebo domu s prístupom dnu, ku priemerne aktívnym ľuďom, ktorí k nemu budú pristupovať trpezlivo a s láskou. Bolo by skvelé, ak by si našiel domov spolu s Kodym, no nie je to podmienka.

About Grif

What life with Grif looks like

Grif 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.
