Miško

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Miško was found on Jarmočná Street in Košice - Juh district. He had a chip, which helped to find his owner, but he gave up the dog. He arrived at the shelter in a neglected state. He had very matted fur, chronic ear inflammation and a polyp in his right ear. At first, he was scared and distrustful and did not let everyone near him. He needed time to understand that he was safe. Miško underwent the necessary treatments, he was shaved and the polyp in his ear was removed. He gradually got used to us and started to trust people more. His teeth are in very bad condition, so he still needs dental treatment. However, he is still a dog who has his limits and will show when something is not pleasant for him. He handles normal handling, such as putting on a collar, leash or brushing, well. Lifting him up may not be pleasant depending on his mood and he needs a muzzle for veterinary procedures. However, Miško has shown that when he gets time and a person approaches him calmly and lovingly, he can gradually build trust. His boundaries can also shift over time and things that are not pleasant for him today can be handled much better. Miško is a senior dog with his own pace and moods. He does not expect great sports performances from him. However, he likes to take a quiet walk, enjoy good food and then sleep peacefully. He is looking for a person who will appreciate such a calm dog companion. He gets along with dogs and female dog according to their sympathies. He does not like very active and pushy dogs that do not respect his space. Calm dog company may suit him, but the potential dog friend will need to be introduced individually. He has hygiene habits with regular walking. He behaves well indoors and does not destroy things. Miško is looking for a quiet home in an apartment or a family house with full access inside. He will be more suitable for older or less active people who will give him peace, regular walks, a comfortable bed and will approach him with kindness and patience. At this age, he should not start another chapter of life in the shelter. Miško does not need much - his person, a quiet place to rest, good food, walks at his own pace and a home where he can spend his senior years in safety and peace.

Miško sa našiel na ulici Jarmočná v Košiciach – mestskej časti Juh. Mal čip, vďaka ktorému sa podarilo dohľadať jeho majiteľa, ten sa ho však vzdal. Do útulku prišiel v zanedbanom stave. Mal veľmi splstnatenú srsť, chronický zápal ucha a v pravom uchu polyp. Zo začiatku bol vystrašený a nedôverčivý a nie každého k sebe pustil. Potreboval predovšetkým čas, aby pochopil, že je v bezpečí. Miško absolvoval potrebné ošetrenia, podarilo sa ho ostrihať a polyp z ucha mu bol odstránený. Postupne si na nás zvykol a začal ľuďom viac dôverovať. Zuby má vo veľmi zlom stave, preto ho ešte čaká dentálne ošetrenie. Stále je to však psík, ktorý má svoje hranice a dá najavo, keď mu niečo nie je príjemné. Bežnú manipuláciu, ako nasadenie obojka, vodítka či česanie, zvláda dobre. Dvíhanie na ruky sa mu podľa nálady nemusí páčiť a pri veterinárnych úkonoch potrebuje náhubok. Miško však už ukázal, že keď dostane čas a človek k nemu pristupuje pokojne a láskavo, dokáže si postupne vybudovať dôveru. Aj jeho hranice sa tak môžu časom posúvať a veci, ktoré mu dnes ešte nie sú príjemné, môže postupne zvládať oveľa lepšie. Miško je psí senior so svojím tempom aj svojimi náladami. Veľké športové výkony už od neho čakať netreba. Rád sa však vyberie na pokojnú prechádzku, pochutí si na dobrom jedle a potom si spokojne pospí. Hľadáme pre neho človeka, ktorý práve takéhoto pokojnejšieho psieho spoločníka ocení. So psami aj fenkami vychádza podľa sympatií. Nevyhovujú mu najmä veľmi aktívni a dotieraví psíci, ktorí nerešpektujú jeho priestor. Pokojnejšia psia spoločnosť mu môže vyhovovať, prípadného psieho kamaráta však bude potrebné individuálne zoznámiť. Pri pravidelnom venčení má hygienické návyky. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne a veci neničí. Miško si hľadá pokojný domov v byte alebo v rodinnom dome s úplným prístupom dovnútra. Vhodný bude skôr k starším alebo menej aktívnym ľuďom, ktorí mu doprajú pokoj, pravidelné prechádzky, pohodlný peliešok a budú k nemu pristupovať s láskavosťou a trpezlivosťou. V tomto veku by už nemal začínať ďalšiu kapitolu života v útulku. Miško nepotrebuje veľa – svojho človeka, pokojné miesto na odpočinok, dobré jedlo, prechádzky vlastným tempom a domov, v ktorom bude môcť prežiť svoje seniorské roky v bezpečí a pokoji.

About Miško

What life with Miško looks like

Miško is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at ÚVP Košice in Slovakia.

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.

🇸🇰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 Miško, answered.

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