How do I contact the shelter about Lewis?

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

Can I adopt Lewis 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 Lewis 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 Lewis 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 Lewis 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.

Lewis

Mixed Breed · Male

Lewis is one of four brothers who were cruelly discarded in a box in the village of Drienovec – Kláštor. At the time they were found, they weighed only approximately 850 grams. Although the beginning of his life was marked by human irresponsibility, he now has a chance to find a family that will love him for the rest of his life. Lewis is a typical puppy – playful, curious and full of energy. He discovers the world with joy and typical puppy curiosity. He loves playing with his dog friends, playing with toys and enjoying the attention of people with the same joy. He is a cheerful little dog with a nice personality who fully enjoys puppyhood. He is not lacking in courage to discover new places, a desire to learn and, of course, he likes to rest after a good game. Since he is still just a little puppy, he is waiting for a period of socialization, learning hygiene habits and getting to know everything that life brings by his side. Lewis is looking for a home in an apartment or a family house with indoor access. We are looking for a responsible family for him, who knows that the puppy will not become a well-bred dog overnight, but that he will need time, patience and loving guidance. We believe that after a difficult start in life, he is waiting for a beautiful future by the side of people who will love him as a member of their family. Transport across the border is currently not possible due to ongoing veterinary procedures. VACCINATION: ongoing – expected completion 18.08. 2026

Lewis je jedným zo štyroch bračekov, ktorých niekto bezcitne vyhodil v krabici v obci Drienovec – Kláštor. V čase, keď sa našli, vážili približne len 850 gramov. Hoci začiatok jeho života poznačila ľudská nezodpovednosť, teraz má šancu nájsť rodinu, ktorá ho bude milovať po celý život. Lewis je typické šteniatko – hravé, zvedavé a plné energie. Svet objavuje s radosťou a typickou šteňacou zvedavosťou. Miluje spoločné hry so svojimi psími kamarátmi, rád sa hrá s hračkami a s rovnakou radosťou si užíva aj pozornosť ľudí. Je to veselý psí chlapček s milou povahou, ktorý si naplno užíva šteňacie obdobie. Nechýba mu odvaha objavovať nové miesta, chuť učiť sa a po poriadnej hre si samozrejme rád oddýchne. Keďže je ešte len malé šteniatko, čaká ho obdobie socializácie, učenia hygienických návykov a spoznávania všetkého, čo život po boku svojej rodiny prináša. Lewis si hľadá domov v byte alebo v rodinnom dome s prístupom dovnútra. Hľadáme pre neho zodpovednú rodinu, ktorá vie, že zo šteniatka nevyrastie vychovaný psík zo dňa na deň, ale že bude potrebovať čas, trpezlivosť a láskavé vedenie. Veríme, že po náročnom začiatku života ho už čaká len krásna budúcnosť po boku ľudí, ktorí ho budú milovať ako člena svojej rodiny. Prevoz cez hranice momentálne nie je možný z dôvodu prebiehajúcich veterinárnych úkonov. OČKOVANIE: prebieha – predpokladané ukončenie 18.08. 2026

About Lewis

What life with Lewis looks like

Lewis 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.
