How do I contact the shelter about Karla?

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

Can I adopt Karla 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 Karla 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 Karla 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 Karla 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.

Karla

Mixed Breed · Female

Karla was found tied up on Sofijská street in Košice. Upon arriving at the shelter, she was very scared and shy, but never showed any aggression - she just quietly waited to see what would happen. Today, she is a playful and friendly female dog who is quickly getting used to the new environment. She loves to explore and discover. Karla will be a great companion for active people - for trips into nature, long walks and shared relaxation time at home. Just give her a chance and she will show herself as loyal, cheerful and devoted buddy. She gets along well with dogs and female dogs - she tends to keep her distance at first and cautiously checks how she can slowly join in the game. She does not seem very interested in toys yet, but we believe that when she finds a family that gives her confidence and self-esteem, her cheerful personality will fully emerge. Handling her is completely trouble-free. She behaves politely indoors, she doesn't damage anything. She is looking for her new home in an apartment or a house with access inside.

SK·Show original

Karla bola nájdená priviazaná na ulici Sofijská v Košiciach. Po príchode do útulku bola veľmi vystrašená a plachá, no nikdy neprejavila agresiu – len ticho čakala, čo sa bude diať. Dnes je z nej hravá a priateľská fenočka, ktorá si rýchlo zvyká na nové prostredie. Všetko rada skúma a objavuje. Karla bude skvelou spoločníčkou pre aktívnych ľudí – na výlety do prírody, dlhé prechádzky aj spoločné oddychové chvíle doma. Stačí jej dať šancu a ukáže sa ako oddaná, veselá a verná parťáčka. So psami aj fenkami vychádza dobre – zatiaľ sa ich skôr stráni a opatrne zisťuje, ako sa s nimi môže pomaly zapojiť do hry. O hračky zatiaľ veľký záujem nejaví, no veríme, že keď nájde rodinu, ktorá jej dodá istotu a sebavedomie, naplno sa prejaví jej veselá povaha. Manipulácia je s ňou úplne bezproblémová. V interiéri sa správa slušne, nič neničí. Svoj nový domov si hľadá v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dovnútra.

About Karla

What life with Karla looks like

Karla 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.
