Adopt Kentucky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

This truly magnificent pesko was found in a nearby village. Someone had abandoned him near the settlement, where he didn't want to stay and was looking for help at nearby homes. But we assume he is also from the settlement, just a different one. We've already seen many times that settlers have taken a dog from another settlement. There's even a level of getting rid of one's own dogs. 😔 Kentucky had extensive demodex all over his body. Bloody wounds that were painful and he kept scratching them even more. But now he's out of the worst condition and now just needs to find the best home. 🙂 KENTUCKY is a big kid. Happy, always well-adjusted, a little ball of life, and he's the biggest star. 😀 Kentucky has a very clean and good heart. He gets along very well with other dogs, wants to play with them and tug on a toy. But he definitely won't let you skip a headfirst dive. He's very energetic, can't sit still on walks, everything interests him. He's definitely suitable only for another equally crazy master. He would be a great buddy for a hike. He needs to work and keep his head busy. He handles hygiene well. He's a very smart and nice little pup. He learns quickly, but also likes to show what he can do. 😀 With him, you'll never get bored. Happy, energetic, fun, and very friendly dog. Kentucky has only known evil and suffering so far. He deserves a chance at a better life. Are you the one? Who will give him that? Suitable for an apartment or a home with year-round access. Goes to a new home vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. Found in the our shelter in Švábovci near Poprad.

Tento naozaj prenádherný pesko sa našiel v neďalekej obci. Niekto ho vyhodil pri osade, kde on ostať nechcel a hľadal pomoc v okolitých domoch. No predpokladáme, že je tiež z osady. Len inej. Už sme zažili veľakrát, že osadníci vyviezli psa pred inú osadu. Už je tu aj takýto level zbavovania sa svojich psov. 🙁 Kentucky mal po tele rozsiahli demodex. Krvavé rany, ktoré ho boleli a ešte viac si ich rozškrabával. No už je z najhoršieho vonku a teraz už len nájsť ten najlepší domov. 🙂 KENTUCKY je veľké dieťa. Veselý, vždy dobre naladený, život gombička a on najväčšia hviezda. 😀 Kentucky má veľmi čisté a dobré srdiečko. Aj so psíkmi sa znáša veľmi dobre, chce sa s nimi vkuse hrať a naťahovať o hračku. Ale po hlave si určite skákať nenechá. Je veľmi energický, na prechádzkach nevie čo skôr, všetko ho zaujíma. Určite je vhodný len pre rovnako bláznivého pánička. Bol by z neho skvelý parťák na turistiku. On potrebuje pracovať a zamestnať svoju hlavu. Hygienu zvláda dobre. Je to veľmi šikovný a milý psík. Rýchlo sa učí, ale aj dosť špekuluje, čo by mohol vyviesť. 😀 S ním sa nikdy nudiť nebudete. Veselý, energický, zábavný a veľmi priateľský pes. Kentucky doteraz poznal len zlo a utrpenie. Zaslúži si dostať šancu na lepší život. Si to práve ty? Kto mu to dopraje? Vhodný je do bytu alebo domu s celoročným prístupom dnu. Do nového domova pôjde očkovaný, čipovaný aj kastrovaný. Nachádza sa v útulku vo Švábovciach pri Poprade. Podmienkou adopcie je úspešný adopčný proces a následné podpísanie adopčnej zmluvy a uhradenie adopčného poplatku.

About Kentucky

What life with Kentucky looks like

Kentucky is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cesta za domovom in Slovakia.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Kentucky, answered.

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