Iris

Mixed Breed · Female

Iris sa k nám dostala po tom, čo jej majiteľ zomrel. Spolu s ďalšími psíkmi žila na mieste, ktoré slúžilo jej majiteľovi ako provizórne bývanie. Po jeho smrti zostali psíky bez starostlivosti. Iris odchytila a priviezla Mestská polícia Košice. Postupne sa na tomto mieste podarilo odchytiť aj ďalších psíkov, medzi nimi Astona a Ivy, ktorí sa tiež dostali do nášho útulku. Po príchode do útulku mala Iris množstvo bĺch a kliešťov, ktorých sme ju zbavili. Prvé dni bola Iris vystrašená a väčšinu času len prespala. Hoci sa bála, nikdy neprejavovala agresivitu. Potrebovala len trochu času, aby si zvykla na nové prostredie a ľudí okolo seba. Postupne sa osmelila, začala nám dôverovať a dnes je z nej milá, veselá a priateľská fenka. Iris má veľmi príjemnú povahu. Je hravá, spoločenská a najviac zo všetkého si užíva ľudskú spoločnosť. Rada trávi čas v blízkosti človeka, teší sa z pozornosti a spoločných chvíľ. Veľkú radosť jej robí aj dobré jedlo a pohodlný, teplý peliešok, v ktorom si môže spokojne oddýchnuť. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov a ich spoločnosť má rada. Hoci o hračky zatiaľ nejaví záujem, veľmi rada sa hrá a šantí so svojimi psími kamarátmi. Manipulácia s ňou je bezproblémová. Iris je vhodná do bytu alebo rodinného domu s úplným prístupom dovnútra. Hľadáme pre ňu milujúcu rodinu, kde bude mať svoje miesto, dostatok pozornosti a možnosť tráviť čas so svojimi ľuďmi. Vhodná bude aj do rodiny so staršími deťmi. Iris nepotrebuje nič výnimočné, aby bola spokojná. Stačí jej ľudská spoločnosť, pravidelné prechádzky, dobré jedlo a teplý peliešok. Bude skvelou spoločníčkou na spoločné chvíle doma, oddych na gauči, ale aj veselé chvíle so psími kamarátmi.

About Iris

What life with Iris looks like

Iris 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Iris, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Iris?
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 Iris on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Iris 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 Iris 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 Iris 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 Iris 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.
