Monty

Mixed Breed · Male

Monty was found on Pajorova street in Košice. After being caught, he was taken to a veterinary clinic due to suspicion of a physical problem with his limbs. Monty is rather introverted and sensitive puppy. Upon arrival, he was very scared and needed time to get used to the new environment and routine. Gradually, he calmed down and is now more confident, although he still needs a calm approach and space. In relation to people, he is careful and distrustful. With a familiar person, he can come closer, sniff the hand, and walk past without fear, but he does not seek contact on his own. He still doesn't dare take treats from the hand, but work is being done on that gradually. He accepts handling and petting, but remains watchful and carefully observes what will follow next. It is evident that he has previously experienced bad treatment. He walks nicely on a leash. Inside, he behaves politely, doesn't destroy things, and has good hygiene habits with regular walks. He doesn't get along with dogs, choosing female dogs according to sympathies. Monty needs a quiet and stable environment without pressure, with a patient person. HEALTH STATUS OF MONTY: After being caught, Monty was taken to a veterinary clinic due to suspicion of a physical problem with his limbs. Examinations revealed an old luxation of the elbow joint on the left front limb. Due to the prolonged duration of the injury and significant muscle contracture, it is not possible to successfully repair the limb with a simple procedure and the condition is being treated conservatively with regular monitoring. At the same time, he had damaged teeth - he underwent extraction of broken and loose teeth, the wounds are treated. Monty is looking for a home in an apartment, ideally in a house with full access inside, where he will have a quiet and predictable environment. It is suitable for patient, loving and experienced people who have a feeling for working with a shy dog and will not put pressure on him. It is not suitable for households with small children or a busy environment. With the right approach, Monty has the potential to form a relationship with his person and progress gradually.

Monty sa našiel na ulici Pajorova v Košiciach. Po odchyte bol prevezený na veterinárnu kliniku pre podozrenie na zdravotný problém s končatinami. Monty je skôr introvertný a citlivý psík. Po príchode bol veľmi vystrašený a potreboval čas, aby si zvykol na nové prostredie a režim. Postupne sa upokojil a teraz je istejší, aj keď stále potrebuje pokojný prístup a priestor. Vo vzťahu k ľuďom je opatrný a nedôverčivý. Pri známom človeku už dokáže prísť bližšie, ovoňať ruku a prejsť popri nej bez strachu, no kontakt zatiaľ sám nevyhľadáva. Piškóty z ruky si ešte netrúfa brať, no postupne sa na tom pracuje. Manipuláciu a pohladenie akceptuje, no zostáva v strehu a pozorne sleduje, čo bude nasledovať. Je zjavné, že si v minulosti prešiel zlým zaobchádzaním. Na vodítku chodí pekne. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne, veci neničí a hygienické návyky má pri pravidelnom venčení zvládnuté. So psami nevychádza, fenky si vyberá podľa sympatií. Monty potrebuje pokojné a stabilné prostredie bez tlaku, u trpezlivého človeka. ZDRAVOTNÝ STAV MONTYHO: Po odchyte bol Monty prevezený na veterinárnu kliniku pre podozrenie na zdravotný problém s končatinami. Vyšetreniami bola zistená staršia luxácia lakťového kĺbu na ľavej hrudnej končatine. Z dôvodu dlhšieho trvania zranenia a výraznej svalovej kontraktúry nie je možné končatinu úspešne napraviť jednoduchým zákrokom a stav sa rieši konzervatívne s pravidelným sledovaním. Zároveň mal poškodené zuby – absolvoval extrakciu zlomených a uvoľnených zubov, rany sú ošetrené. Monty hľadá domov v byte, ideálne však v dome s úplným prístupom dovnútra, kde bude mať pokojné a predvídateľné prostredie. Vhodný je pre trpezlivých, láskavých a skúsených ľudí, ktorí majú cit pre prácu s plachým psom a nebudú na neho vytvárať tlak. Nie je vhodný do domácnosti s malými deťmi ani do rušného prostredia. Pri správnom prístupe má Monty potenciál vytvoriť si vzťah so svojím človekom a postupne napredovať.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a small 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 Monty, answered.

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