How do I contact the shelter about Kubko?

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

Can I adopt Kubko 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 Kubko 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 Kubko 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 Kubko 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.

Kubko

Mixed Breed · Male

Kubko was rescued in a village, where they brought him to us with the help of others, asking for help. He had a rope embedded deep in his neck, which caused extensive and painful injuries. He was immediately taken to a veterinary clinic, where he underwent a difficult treatment and was hospitalized for several weeks. He had a deep wound around the entire area - the tissue was necrotic, inflamed and smelt. The doctors had to regularly remove dead tissue, clean the wound, apply treatment and sutures, to stop the spread of infection and promote healing. Kubko was under constant supervision, received antibiotics, infusions and necessary care, which allowed him to recover. Today, his neck is nicely healed and nothing prevents him from finally enjoying life fully. Kubko is a young, active and cheerful puppy. At first, he was very afraid of other dogs, but gradually got used to them and now likes to play, chase and wrestle with them. He likes toys and games with dog friends. His beginning of life was not easy, but despite that, he kept his cheerful and friendly nature. Kubek will be a great buddy for walks, trips and everyday shared moments. He loves the company of people and their attention - with a family that gives him love and exercise, he will be happy and satisfied. Handling is trouble-free with him. He behaves politely, doesn't destroy things, if he has enough movement and stimulation. Hygiene habits still need to be perfected, but with proper guidance, he will learn them quickly. Kubko is suitable for first-time dog owners, active people or a family with children. He is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with full access for the dog.

Kubko bol zachránený v osade, kde nám ho pri pomoci iným psíkom priniesli s prosbou o pomoc. Mal vrastenú šnúrku hlboko do krku, ktorá mu spôsobila rozsiahle a bolestivé poranenie. Okamžite bol prevezený na veterinárnu kliniku, kde podstúpil náročnú liečbu a bol hospitalizovaný niekoľko týždňov. Na krku mal hlbokú ranu, ktorá obopínala celú oblasť – tkanivo bolo nekrotické, zapálené a rana zapáchala. Lekári museli pravidelne odstraňovať odumreté tkanivo, čistiť ranu, aplikovať liečbu a šitie, aby sa zastavilo šírenie infekcie a podporilo hojenie. Kubko bol dlhodobo pod dohľadom, dostával antibiotiká, infúzie a potrebnú starostlivosť, vďaka čomu sa mu podarilo uzdraviť. Teraz je už jeho krk pekne zahojený a nič mu nebráni v tom, aby si konečne užíval život naplno. Kubko je mladý, aktívny a veselý psík. Zo začiatku sa veľmi bál iných psíkov, no postupne si zvykol a dnes sa s nimi rád šantí, naháňa a hrá. Má rád hračky a spoločné hry so psími kamošmi. Jeho začiatok života nebol jednoduchý, ale napriek tomu si zachoval veselú a priateľskú povahu. Z Kubka bude skvelý parťák na prechádzky, výlety aj každodenné spoločné chvíle. Miluje spoločnosť ľudí a ich pozornosť – s rodinou, ktorá mu dopraje lásku a pohyb, bude spokojný a šťastný. Manipulácia je s ním bezproblémová. Dnu sa správa slušne, veci neničí, ak má dostatok pohybu a podnetov. Hygienické návyky ešte potrebuje doladiť, no pri správnom vedení sa ich rýchlo naučí. Kubko je vhodný aj pre prvopsíčkarov, aktívnych ľudí či rodinku s deťmi. Domov si hľadá v byte alebo v dome s úplným prístupom dnu.

About Kubko

What life with Kubko looks like

Kubko is a large 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. 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.
