How do I contact the shelter about Kurt?

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

Can I adopt Kurt 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 Kurt 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 Kurt 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 Kurt 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.

Kurt

Mixed Breed · Male

Kurt was found on Jazmínová street in Košice. Upon arrival at the shelter, he was very scared, thin, had fleas and initially showed a tendency to defend himself due to strong stress. However, this was just initial stress from a new situation - now he is completely different dog. Kurt is an active, playful and energetic dog with a love for life. He has energy to spare, loves fetching and stuffed toys, which he can play with even alone. He is social and really enjoys the presence of people, showing his joy constantly by wagging his tail. Handling him is trouble-free. Inside the premises, he behaves politely, doesn't destroy things and has good hygiene habits. Kurt gets along well with female dogs, he chooses his companions - as long as they leave him alone, he is fine with them. Kurt is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with access inside, peacefully even with a family with children. He is suitable for people who will give him enough exercise, attention and will enjoy his cheerful, playful nature.

Kurt sa našiel na ulici Jazmínová v Košiciach. Po príchode do útulku bol veľmi vyplašený, chudý, mal blchy a v dôsledku silného stresu mal spočiatku aj snahu brániť sa. Išlo však len o počiatočný stres z novej situácie – teraz je to už úplne iný psík. Kurt je aktívny, hravý a energický psík s chuťou do života. Má energie na rozdávanie, miluje aportovanie a plyšové hračky, s ktorými sa vie zahrať aj sám. Je spoločenský a veľmi si užíva prítomnosť ľudí, svoju radosť dáva najavo neustále vrtiacim chvostíkom. Manipulácia je s ním bezproblémová. Vo vnútornom priestore sa správa slušne, veci neničí a hygienické návyky má zvládnuté. S fenkami vychádza bez problémov, so psami si vyberá – pokiaľ mu dajú pokoj, je s nimi v poriadku. Kurt hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dovnútra, pokojne aj k rodine s deťmi. Je vhodný pre ľudí, ktorí mu doprajú dostatok pohybu, pozornosti a budú si užívať jeho veselú, hravú povahu.

About Kurt

What life with Kurt looks like

Kurt 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.
