How do I contact the shelter about Lester?

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

Can I adopt Lester 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 Lester 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 Lester 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 Lester 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.

Lester

Mixed Breed · Male

Lester came to us together with Lou and Lizzie after being rescued by the Košice City Police from inappropriate conditions at Luník IX, where the dogs first lived on the balcony and later in the basement. The first days were difficult for everyone and the dogs seemed scared, but after a short period of rest, patience and proper approach, they quickly calmed down and started making great progress. Lester is a nice, active and playful puppy who loves to discover new things and the environment. Contact with people makes him happy, he enjoys being petted and never says no to treats. He is curious and sensitive, new stimuli interest him and he explores the world around him with enthusiasm. He still needs some work on the leash, as due to his curiosity and excitement he sometimes pulls. Handling is trouble-free with him. Hygiene habits are managed with regular walks. He is just getting to know toys, but he has a desire to play. Inside he behaves politely, doesn't destroy things and seems more balanced every day. He has not yet been tested with other dogs or female dogs - we will update this information soon. Looking for a home in an apartment or house with access inside, with people who give him a calm, loving approach and time to adapt. Lester will be a pleasant and loyal family companion.

Lester k nám prišiel spolu s Louom a Lizzie po odchyte Mestskej polície Košice z nevhodných podmienok na Luníku IX, kde psíky najprv žili na balkóne a neskôr v pivnici. Prvé dni boli pre všetkých náročné a psíky pôsobili vystrašene, no po krátkom čase pokoja, trpezlivosti a správneho prístupu sa rýchlo upokojili a začali robiť veľké pokroky. Lester je milý, aktívny a hravý psík, ktorý rád spoznáva nové veci a prostredie. Kontakt s človekom mu robí radosť, hladkanie si užíva a na pamlsky nikdy nepovie nie. Je zvedavý a vnímavý, nové podnety ho zaujímajú a svet okolo seba objavuje s chuťou. Na vodítku je ešte potrebné popracovať, keďže zo zvedavosti a nadšenia občas ťahá. Manipulácia je s ním bezproblémová. Hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení zvládnuté. S hračkami sa ešte len zoznamuje, no má snahu sa hrať. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne, veci neničí a pôsobí vyrovnanejšie každým dňom. S inými psami ani fenkami zatiaľ nebol odskúšaný – túto informáciu budeme ešte aktualizovať. Hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dovnútra, u ľudí, ktorí mu doprajú pokojný, láskavý prístup a čas na adaptáciu. Lester bude príjemným a oddaným rodinným spoločníkom.

About Lester

What life with Lester looks like

Lester 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.
