How do I contact the shelter about Max?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Útulek Zlín-Vršava handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Max on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Max if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Zlín-Vršava 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 Max 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 Max 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 Útulek Zlín-Vršava early rather than rehoming privately; they know Max 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 (CS). 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.

Max

Male · Senior · 11 years

I would like to draw attention to Max, because he has been at the shelter for 4 years!!! This request is mainly addressed to people who know the breed of Slovakian shepherd. Max would be suitable for one person (maximum couple), in a family home. He is now 6 years old. At the shelter we have observed that he bonds with one person, he likes that person and tends to protect them. His behavior is not easy, therefore we definitely recommend handling him with a muzzle at the beginning. Although he bit a volunteer without reason 14 days ago, one of the caretakers is trying to spend time with him, let him into the area, take him to the yard, take him on short walks into the forest. We hope that a responsible and experienced person will be found who can get more information at the shelter during a personal meeting. Upon arrival: Max came to the shelter after attacking and biting his owner several times. He originally lived on a village in a family house in the garden. He is only suitable for an experienced person who understands him, will spend time with him and will teach him obedience. He is not suitable for a family with children. He does not tolerate other animals. March 2018 – Watch a video of our happy Max, who has made great progress in behavior at the shelter, since a volunteer spends time with him every day. He is a three-year-old Slovakian shepherd and we are looking for a new master who will continue to spend time with him and continue his socialization. We hope that someone reasonable will be found... Max receives preventive joint nutrition at the shelter.

I na Maxe bychom rádi upozornili, protože čeká na útulku 4 roky !!! Tato prosba hlavně směřuje k lidem, co plemeno slovenské čuvače znají. Max by byl vhodný k jednomu člověku (max. páru), do rodinného domu. Nyní je mu 6 let. Na útulku máme vysledované, že se naváže na jednoho člověka, toho má rád a toho má tendenci chránit. Jeho chování není jednoduché, tudíž rozhodně zpočátku doporučujeme manipulaci s náhubkem. I když před 14 dny bezdůvodně pokousal brigádníci, snaží se jedna z ošetřovatelek se mu věnovat, pouštět do areálu, vodit do výběhu, vodit na krátké vycházky do lesa. Doufáme, že se najde pro něho zodpovědný a zkušený člověk, který více informací může získat na útulku při osobním setkání. Při příjmu : Max se dostal do útulku poté, co několikrát napadl a pokousal svého majitele. Žil původně na vesnici u rodinného domu na zahradě. Je vhodný jen ke zkušenému člověku, který mu porozumí, bude se mu věnovat a naučí ho poslušnosti. Do rodiny k dětem se nehodí. Nesnese ostatní zvířata. březen 2018 – Podívejte se na video našeho šťastného Maxe, který na útulku udělal veliký pokrok v chování, jelikož se mu denně věnuje dobrovolník. Je to tříletý slovenský čuvač a hledáme mu nového pána, který se mu bude nadále věnovat a pokračovat v jeho socializaci. Doufáme, že se někdo rozumný najde… Max dostává na útulku preventivně kloubní výživu.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max is a senior dog waiting at Útulek Zlín-Vršava in Zlín-Zlín 12.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.
