How do I contact the shelter about Hugo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. OZ Priateľ pes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hugo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hugo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — OZ Priateľ pes 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 Hugo 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 Hugo 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 OZ Priateľ pes early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hugo 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.

Hugo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

date of birth: 9/2022 height: about 55 cm weight: about 23 kg Hugo is approximately 3.5 years old dog, who appeared on the streets in Štúrovo. He was very shy and distrustful - whenever someone approached him, he immediately ran away and could not be caught. We tried to catch him countless times, even prepared a capture cage, but Hugo was always more careful and did not enter the cage. Finally, help came by chance and good people. One morning, a young couple called us, who managed to safely hold him while walking their dog. And then a miracle happened - when Hugo crossed the shelter gate, all his fear fell off him. Today he is a nice, friendly and very gentle dog who loves human company. He often accompanies us like a shadow and enjoys every attention and petting. He walks beautifully on a leash, is clever, quick to learn and very cooperative. Hugo is a dog whose life has just begun. Despite the fact that people have disappointed him in the past, he has not lost the ability to trust. We are looking for a loving home for him, where he will finally be a family member. If you are looking for a faithful companion and you would be able to provide him a new home, write us a message or to.

dátum narodenia: 9/2022 výška: cca 55 cm váha: cca 23 kg Hugo je približne 3,5 ročný psík, ktorý sa objavil na uliciach v Štúrove. Bol veľmi plachý a nedôverčivý – vždy, keď sa k nemu niekto priblížil, okamžite utekal preč a nedal sa chytiť. Skúšali sme ho odchytiť nespočetnekrát, dokonca sme pripravili aj odchytovú klietku, no Hugo bol vždy opatrnejší a do klietky nevošiel. Nakoniec nám pomohla náhoda a dobrí ľudia. Jedného rána nám zavolal mladý pár, ktorému sa ho pri venčení ich psíka podarilo bezpečne zadržať. A vtedy sa stal zázrak – keď Hugo prešiel bránou útulku, akoby z neho všetok strach opadol. Dnes je z neho milý, priateľský a veľmi nežný psík, ktorý miluje spoločnosť ľudí. Často nás sprevádza ako tieň a užíva si každú pozornosť a pohladenie. Krásne chodí na vodítku, je šikovný, učenlivý a veľmi dobre spolupracuje. Hugo je pes, ktorému sa život v podstate ešte len začína. Napriek tomu, že ho ľudia v minulosti sklamali, nestratil schopnosť dôverovať. Hľadáme pre neho láskavý domov, kde bude konečne členom rodiny. Ak hľadáte verného spoločníka a vedeli by ste mu poskytnúť nový domov, napíšte nám do správy alebo na .

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at OZ Priateľ pes in Slovakia.

An young 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.
