How do I contact the shelter about Luigy?

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

Can I adopt Luigy 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 Luigy 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 Luigy 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 Luigy 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.

Luigy

Mixed Breed · Male

Luigy came to us from the Luník IX district in Košice together with Luis. The start of his life was probably not easy, but despite that, he has a chance for a completely different future than he had so far. Upon arrival, he was stressed and cautious, but gradually began to get used to things. With a patient approach and hand-feeding, we managed to build trust, and now he is a cheerful, active dog who enjoys human company. With new people, he may be more cautious at first, but with calmness, patience, and tasty treats, a person can quickly find their way to him - as the saying goes, love goes through the stomach. Each day he makes nice progress and gradually gains more confidence. He is sure-footed and self-assured, enjoys getting involved in everything happening around him. He likes toys, balls, and fetch, and enjoys playing. He is active, curious, and needs movement and stimulation. With dogs - males so far does not get along, with female dogs it depends on the individual. Handling is trouble-free in normal situations, but a muzzle is needed during veterinary procedures. On a leash, he still pulls and is getting used to it, so it will be necessary to continue his training. He has good hygiene habits with regular walks. During the day, he behaves politely and doesn't destroy anything, provided he has enough movement and activities. Luigy is suitable for more active people who will give him time, movement, and a patient approach. He is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with access inside, where he will have his place and security. Luigy needs someone who with patience will show him a completely different world than the one he knew so far. You may not gain his trust in five minutes, but the more faithful partner he will be to you when he realizes he is finally safe. It's enough to give him a chance to start over - this time by the side of the right person.

Luigy k nám prišiel z mestskej časti Luník IX v Košiciach spolu s Luisom. Začiatok jeho života asi nebol jednoduchý, no aj napriek tomu má šancu na úplne inú budúcnosť, než akú mal doteraz. Po príchode bol vystresovaný a opatrný, no postupne si začal zvykať. Trpezlivým prístupom a kŕmením z ruky sa nám podarilo vybudovať dôveru a Luigy je veselý, aktívny psík, ktorý si užíva prítomnosť človeka. Pri nových ľuďoch môže byť zo začiatku opatrnejší, no s pokojom, trpezlivosťou a chutnými pamlskami si k nemu človek vie rýchlo nájsť cestu – ako sa hovorí, láska ide cez žalúdok. Luigy je istý a sebavedomý, rád sa zapája do všetkého, čo sa okolo neho deje. Má rád hračky, loptičky aj aportovanie. Je aktívny, zvedavý a potrebuje dostatok pohybu a aktivít. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov. Psiu spoločnosť má rád, s ostatnými psíkmi sa rád hrá a užíva si spoločné šantenie. Môže tak nájsť domov aj po boku ďalšieho psíka. Manipulácia je bezproblémová, a to aj pri veterinárnom vyšetrení. Na vodítku chodí pekne a prechádzky si užíva. Pri pravidelnom venčení má hygienické návyky. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne a veci neničí, pokiaľ má dostatok pohybu a aktivít. Luigy je vhodný k aktívnejším ľuďom, ktorí mu doprajú pohyb, spoločnosť a dostatok času. Hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s úplným prístupom dovnútra, kde bude mať svoje miesto a istotu. Luigy potrebuje človeka, pri ktorom sa bude cítiť bezpečne a ktorému bude môcť dôverovať. Možno si pri prvom stretnutí nechá chvíľku na zoznámenie, no keď si človeka pustí k sebe, ukáže svoju veselú a priateľskú povahu. Teraz už potrebuje len dostať šancu začať odznova – po boku svojho človeka.

About Luigy

What life with Luigy looks like

Luigy 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.
