Marcus

Mixed Breed · Male

Marcus's story begins with a message from the finder: "Good day. I'm sending the promised photos of the dog I found abandoned near Hornád in Gyňov. We've been trying to catch him for a week, but he's very shy and runs away. He's obviously been left there for quite a long time and probably hasn't had a happy life so far. He was quite hurt as shown by his reactions. He's thin and limps on his right front paw. We've been going to see him every day for more than a week and feeding him. He's starting to get used to us and now approaches us during feeding. He's happy when we come. He's beginning to have a nice look and a spark in his eyes." That's how we found out about Marcus, and when we had space, he came to us. During the veterinary examination, a fracture of the finger on the left chest limb was discovered. Marcus is a very kind and active dog. At first, he has a shyer nature and needs to get to know a person a bit, but it's not extreme, a few treats and you have a new friend. When Marcus gets used to things, which doesn't take long, he's a big sweetheart and asks for pets. He likes to fetch, plays with stuffed animals, but above all, he enjoys when someone gives him attention and spends time with him. He has an active nature and will enjoy trips into nature, long walks and then a rest with his family. Marcus is a good companion and a dog for a cart or a carriage. He gets along well with other dogs and female dogs. He would definitely be happy if he had a canine companion in his new home, or a friend. Marcus has good hygiene habits, behaves politely in the house and handling is problem-free.

Marcusov príbeh začína správou od pani nálezkyne: “Dobrý deň. Posielam sľúbené fotky psíka, ktorého som našla pri prechádzke vyhodeného pri Hornáde v Gyňove. Už týždeň sa ho snažíme odchytiť, ale nedá sa, psík je veľmi plachý a uteká. Zjavne je tam vyhodený už dosť dlhú dobu a asi doteraz nemal šťastný život. Bolo mu dosť ublížené podľa jeho reakcií. Je vychudnutý a kríva na prednú pravú labku. Viac ako týždeň chodíme každý deň k nemu a kŕmime ho. Začal si na nás pomaly zvykať a už sa k nám aj priblíži pri kŕmení. Teší sa, keď dôjdeme. Začal mať milý pohľad a iskru v očkách.” Tak sme sa o Marcusovi dozvedeli a keď sa nám uvoľnilo miesto, prišiel k nám. Na veterinárnom vyšetrení sa zistila fraktúra prsta na ľavej hrudníkovej končatine. Marcus je veľmi milý a aktívny psík. Spočiatku má plachšiu povahu a človeka musí trošku spoznať, ale nie je to žiadny extrém, stačí pár piškotiek a máte nového kamaráta. Keď si Marcus zvykne, a netrvá to dlho, je to veľký maznáčik a pýta si pohladenie. Rád aportuje, hrá sa s plyšákmi, ale zo všetkého najviac si užíva, keď sa mu človek venuje a trávi s ním čas. Má aktívnu povahu, bude si užívať výlety v prírode, dlhé prechádzky a po nich odpočinok so svojou rodinkou. Marcus je pohoďák a psík do voza aj do koča. So psami a fenkami vychádza bez problémov, určite by bol šťastný, keby v novom domove mal psieho kamaráta, alebo kamarátku. Marcus má hygienické návyky, dnu sa správa slušne a manipulácia je bezproblémová.

About Marcus

What life with Marcus looks like

Marcus 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 Marcus, answered.

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