How do I contact the shelter about Marvin?

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

Can I adopt Marvin 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 Marvin 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 Marvin 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 Marvin 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.

Marvin

Mixed Breed · Male

Marvin was found near the Optima shopping center on Moldavska Street in Košice. According to available information, it comes from an area near a former flea market. Marvin is a young, playful and active dog with lots of energy and joy for life. It loves water, stuffed animals, knot games and any fun it can join. It's a cheerful crazy, who enjoys movement and human company. Handling it is trouble-free, it has good hygiene habits and behaves politely - it doesn't destroy things when it has enough stimulation. It doesn't get along with dogs, but it does understand some female dogs - especially those that are calmer. Sometimes it tries to cover them, so introduction needs to be handled individually and with respect to both sides. Marvin is looking for an active home - in an apartment or a house with full access to the yard. It is suitable for older children who know how to behave around a dog. It has its own mind and needs loving but consistent guidance. It is a smart dog that would greatly benefit from working with a trainer or visiting a training class - not because it has behavioral problems, but so that it can fully utilize its potential.

SK·Show original

Marvin sa našiel pri nákupnom centre Optima na Moldavskej ceste v Košiciach. Podľa dostupných informácií pochádza z lokality v blízkosti bývalého blšáku. Marvin je mladý, hravý a aktívny psík, ktorý má veľa energie a radosti zo života. Miluje vodu, plyšáky, hry s uzlami a akúkoľvek zábavu, do ktorej sa môže zapojiť. Je to veselý šaľko, ktorý si rád užíva pohyb aj spoločnosť človeka. Manipulácia s ním je bezproblémová, má hygienické návyky a dnu sa správa slušne – veci neničí, keď má dostatok podnetov. So psami nevychádza, s niektorými fenkami si však rozumie – najmä s tými, ktoré sú pokojnejšie. Niekedy sa ich snaží nakrývať, takže zoznámenie treba riešiť individuálne a s rešpektom k obom stranám. Marvin hľadá aktívny domov – v byte alebo v dome s úplným prístupom dnu. Je vhodný ku starším deťom, ktoré vedia, ako sa pri psíkovi správať. Má svoju hlavu a potrebuje láskavé, ale dôsledné vedenie. Je to múdry psík, ktorému veľmi prospeje práca s trénerom alebo návšteva cvičáku – nie preto, že by mal problémové správanie, ale preto, aby naplno využil svoj potenciál.

About Marvin

What life with Marvin looks like

Marvin is a medium-sized 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.
