How do I contact the shelter about Max?

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 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 — 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 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 ÚVP Košice 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 (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.

Adopt Max

Mixed Breed · Male

Max came from owners who are no longer able to care for him due to a change in their life situation. This change was very difficult for Max and in the first days he was distrustful and didn't want to let us near him. Slowly we got close to him, fed him by hand and with a sensitive approach he began to trust us. His heart is broken and he needs a new home and a loving family to heal. Max is still initially cautious around strangers and it takes him some time. Delicious treats help a lot during the introduction, because love goes through the stomach. In case of interest, we prefer or recommend initial visits to the shelter for introduction, once he gets used to a person, he is a lovely and friendly dog and will return your efforts a thousandfold. Max is currently quite a loner and the loss of his home and his family has affected him, which is also reflected in his behavior. He does nothing wrong, it's just that you can see he still hopes... Max has a calm but just active nature. He will enjoy trips into nature, but also rest with his family. He likes fetching and spending time together. Max is a modest dog - he just needs a pile of love, a full belly and time spent with the family. He gets along well with other dogs and female dogs, he has a non-conflictive nature. Inside he behaves politely, doesn't destroy anything and has 100% hygienic habits. Handling is problem-free once he knows a person, but with strangers he may panic. Max is looking for a loving family or individual. A buddy for life and for spending time together. He is ideally looking for a home with a house with a well-insulated kennel and access to the yard, he can easily adapt even to an apartment.

Max prišiel od majiteľov, ktorí už nie sú schopní sa o neho postarať z dôvodu zmeny životnej situácie. Táto zmena bola pre Maxa veľmi náročná a prvé dni bol nedôverčivý a nechcel nás k sebe pustiť. Pomaličky sme sa k nemu dostali, kŕmili sme ho z ruky a citlivým prístupom nám začal dôverovať. Jeho srdiečko je zlomené a potrebuje nový domov a láskavú rodinu, aby sa uzdravilo. Max je stále/zatiaľ spočiatku k cudzím ľuďom opatrný a chvíľku mu to trvá. Pri zoznamovaní veľmi pomáhajú chutné pamlsky, veď láska ide cez žalúdok. V prípade záujmu preferujeme, alebo odporúčame spočiatku návštevy v útulku na zoznámenie, keď si na človeka zvykne tak je to milý a priateľský psík a všetku snahu, ktorú musíte vynaložiť na zoznámenie s ním Vám tisícnásobne vráti. Max je u nás zatiaľ taký samotár a to že stratil domov a svoju rodinu ho zasiahlo a odzrkadľuje sa to aj jeho správaní. Nerobí nič zlé, len vidno že stále dúfa… Max má pokojnú, tak akurát aktívnu povahu. Bude sa tešiť výletom v prírode, ale aj oddychu pri svojej rodinke. Má rád aportovanie a spoločné strávené chvíle. Max je skromný psík – ku šťastiu mu stačí kopec lásky a plné bruško a spoločný strávený čas s rodinou. So psami a s fenkami vychádza bez problémov, má nekonfliktnú povahu. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne, veci neničí a má 100% hygienické návyky. Manipulácia je bezproblémová ak už človeka pozná, pri cudzích môže panikáriť. Max si hľadá láskavú rodinu, alebo jednotlivca. Parťáka do života a na spoločne strávene chvíle. Domov si hľadá ideálne ku domčeku s kvalitnou zateplenou búdkou a prístupom dnu, bez problémov si zvykne aj na byt.

About Max

What life with Max looks like

Max 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.
