Leon

Mixed Breed · Male

Leon was found on the street Severné nábrežie in Košice. Leon is a wonderful young dog full of joy and life. Getting to know him takes literally seconds - right away he is the best companion. He is a playful and active teenager who loves cuddling, exploring the world around him and everything that moves. Always happy, always ready to enjoy the day to the fullest. He is smart and quick to learn, new things come to him quickly - an ideal dog for someone looking for a buddy not only for trips, but also for learning and discovering together. He will be a loyal companion whether moving or relaxing at home on the couch. Gets along very well with other dogs and female dogs, likes to play with them and if he had a dog friend in his new home, he would certainly welcome it. He has good hygiene habits, behaves politely in the yard and handling is problem-free - he is a well-behaved dog with a good heart. Leon is looking for a loving, active and responsible family, comfortably even with children or beginners - the main thing is that they have time for him and give him a place in their lives. He is looking for a home in an apartment or house with access to the yard, because he wants to be part of the family. YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH LEONKOM: 1. "Leon was an amazing traveler. He jumped into the car by himself and had no problems with traveling. On walks in the forest, he behaved very politely - he walked by our feet, constantly followed us and made sure not to get too far away. He didn't pull on the leash at all. When people or dogs passed by, he didn't react stressfully or reactively, not even in the case where one of the dogs barked at him. On another walk, where there were significantly more people, children and cyclists, he remained calm and composed. He didn't show any stress and focused only on us the whole time. Leon showed that he is a dog who can handle new environments with confidence and calmness. He will be a great partner for trips into nature, walks through the city, and also for quiet days by his person's side. All you need to do is give him a chance - and he will show you how balanced and devoted a companion he is."

Leon sa našiel na ulici Severné nábrežie v Košiciach. Leon je úžasný mladý psík plný radosti a života. Zoznámenie s ním trvá doslova sekundu – hneď je z neho ten najlepší kamarát. Je to hravý a aktívny pubertiačik, ktorý zbožňuje maznanie, objavovanie sveta okolo seba a všetko, čo sa hýbe. Vždy veselý, vždy pripravený užiť si deň naplno. Je bystrý a učenlivý, nové veci mu idú rýchlo – ideálny psík pre niekoho, kto hľadá parťáka nielen na výlety, ale aj na spoločné učenie a objavovanie. Bude verným spoločníkom v pohybe aj pri leňošení doma na gauči. S ostatnými psami aj fenkami vychádza veľmi dobre, rád sa s nimi hrá a ak by mal v novom domove psieho kamaráta, určite by to uvítal. Hygienické návyky má zvládnuté, dnu sa správa slušne a manipulácia je bezproblémová – je to poslušný psík s dobrým srdcom. Leon hľadá láskavú, aktívnu a zodpovednú rodinku, pokojne aj s deťmi či začiatočníkmi – hlavné je, aby naňho mali čas a dali mu miesto vo svojom živote. Domov si hľadá do bytu alebo domu s prístupom dnu, pretože chce byť súčasťou rodiny. VAŠA SKÚSENOSŤ S LEONKOM: 1. „Leon bol úžasný výletník. Do auta naskakoval sám a s cestovaním nemal vôbec žiadny problém. Na prechádzke v lese sa správal veľmi slušne – chodil pri nohách, stále nás sledoval a dával pozor, aby sa príliš nevzďaľoval. Na vodítku vôbec neťahal. Keď okolo prechádzali ľudia alebo psy, nereagoval stresovo ani reaktívne, a to ani v prípade, že na neho niektorý psík štekal. Na ďalšej prechádzke, kde bolo výrazne viac ľudí, detí aj cyklistov, zostal pokojný a vyrovnaný. Nepôsobil v strese a po celý čas sa sústredil len na nás. Leon ukázal, že je z neho psík, ktorý zvláda nové prostredie s prehľadom a pokojom. Bude skvelým parťákom na výlety do prírody, prechádzky mestom, ale aj na pokojné dni po boku svojho človeka. Stačí mu dať šancu – a on vám ukáže, aký vyrovnaný a oddaný spoločník v ňom je.“

About Leon

What life with Leon looks like

Leon 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Leon, answered.

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