How do I contact the shelter about Nelson?

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

Can I adopt Nelson 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 Nelson 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 Nelson 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 Nelson 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.

Nelson

Mixed Breed · Male

Nelson was found on Mikovíni Street in Košice, lying near the containers. He probably came from Luník IX. Upon arriving at the shelter, he was very stressed and afraid of everything. He just needed time to get used to things and realize that no one wanted to hurt him. Now he is much more relaxed and cheerful dog, ready to find his real home. Nelson is nice, friendly, and very affectionate. He likes people regardless - he immediately becomes friends with everyone. He loves movement, chasing games, and playing, from which pure joy radiates. He likes to draw attention with barking and doesn't like being alone. He needs company, movement, and activities that keep his smart head occupied. He is sensitive and intelligent dog, who will be a great companion for trips, hiking, and everyday adventures. He gets along with other dogs according to his preferences and has no problems with female dogs. Handling is usually trouble-free, but it is necessary to use a muzzle during veterinary procedures. Nelson is ideal for an active family or individual who have space for a dog in their life - time, love, and patience. We are looking for a home for him ideally in a family house with access to the yard and a well-insulated kennel. However, he can also get used to living in an apartment with sufficient exercise.

Nelson sa našiel na ulici Mikovíniho v Košiciach, kde ležal pri kontajneroch. Pravdepodobne pochádzal z Luníka IX. Po príchode do útulku bol veľmi vystresovaný a všetkého sa bál. Potreboval len čas, aby si zvykol a pochopil, že mu už nikto nechce ublížiť. Teraz je z neho oveľa uvoľnenejší a veselší psík, pripravený nájsť si svoj skutočný domov. Nelson je milý, priateľský a veľmi prítulný. Ľudí má rád bez rozdielu – s každým sa hneď skamaráti. Miluje pohyb, naháňačky a bláznenie, pri ktorom z neho srší čistá radosť. Rád na seba upozorňuje štekaním a samotu nemá v láske. Potrebuje spoločnosť, pohyb a aktivity, ktoré zamestnajú jeho múdru hlavičku. Je to vnímavý a učenlivý psík, ktorý bude skvelým parťákom na výlety, turistiku aj každodenné dobrodružstvá. So psami vychádza podľa sympatií a s fenkami vychádza bez problémov. Manipulácia je v bežných situáciách bezproblémová, pri veterinárnych úkonoch je však potrebné použiť náhubok. Nelson je ideálny pre aktívnu rodinu alebo jednotlivca, ktorí majú vo svojom živote miesto pre psíka – čas, lásku a trpezlivosť. Domov mu hľadáme ideálne v rodinnom dome s prístupom dnu a kvalitnou zateplenou búdou. Pri dostatočnom pohybe si však zvykne aj na život v byte.

About Nelson

What life with Nelson looks like

Nelson 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.
