Adopt Opi

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 6 years

Imagine a dog who will love you with his whole heart. Who looks at you with devoted eyes and just waits for your word, your smile, your touch. That is Opi. No one ever loved Opiho as Opi needed. The owner got him, someone who long ago had no time, strength or energy for a dog of his needs. He was angry at Opiho for being the way he was. No one ever fulfilled Opiho's needs, his soul and body suffered. The shelter was in a certain sense his life's victory. We respected his needs, fulfilled them, allowed his potential to grow. He became the most relaxed dog in the shelter's daily routine. Reliable, safe, joyful. What a person gives Opiho, Opi returns to the person. Yet he has been spending days in the shelter for a long time and still keeps looking for someone who will take him home. While he could be the best companion you can imagine. Active, smart and loyal. He loves movement, long walks, games and working with a person. But what does he love the most? Being with you. Why will you fall in love with Opiho? He will be your shadow and best friend - he wants to be part of your life, whether you go on a trip to the mountains or just sit on the couch and relax together. He is smart and eager to learn - like a mixed breed border collie, he has intelligence and a desire to cooperate. Just give him a chance and he will show you how much he wants to please you. He has a heart full of love - even though he has been waiting in the shelter for a long time, he hasn't lost his trust in people. He still believes that one day someone will choose him and give him a real home. Who is he looking for? An active person who won't let him idle. He learns incredibly quickly, eagerly and with enthusiasm, so it's enough if the person wants to and isn't afraid of the necessary work with the dog. Any dog sport is welcome, hiking is a must, and the rest will show with time. A home without children, cats or other dogs. Opus needs a calm, stable, balanced, patient owner. Someone who will give him love, but also clear rules, so he can be happy and content. Opi is clean, doesn't destroy anything, so he fits into life in an apartment or house. A person who knows the basics of positive reinforcement, consent-based care and who wants to further develop with Opus in the dog world. Opi may not be a puppy, he may have had some experiences. But one thing is certain - he will love you with his whole heart. Come and see him, and let him convince you himself. Maybe you are exactly the one he has been waiting for all this time. Opus is vaccinated, treated against external and internal parasites and microchipped. Neutering after acclimatization in the new home is a condition of adoption. If you are interested in adopting this unique Opiho, we will ask you to send an email to . In the email, write basic information about yourself, your family, other animals, background and experience with dogs. Simply a pet resume, so we have an idea of what life you offer him. We will respond to the email, call you and arrange the first meeting visit. Thank you very much to Radim Havlíček for the energetic photos ♥ vividfoto.cz ♥ Temperament:

Představte si psa, který vás bude milovat celým svým srdcem. Který se na vás podívá oddanýma očima a bude jen čekat na vaše slovo, váš úsměv, váš dotek. To je Opi. Opiho nikdo nikdy neměl rád tak, jak Opi potřeboval. Pořídil si ho pán, který dávno neměl na psa jeho potřeb věk, sílu ani energii. Zlobil se na Opiho za to, jaký byl. Opiho potřeby nikdo nenaplňoval, jeho duše i tělo strádaly. Útulek byl v jistém slova smyslu jeho životní výhra. Respektovaly jsme jeho potřeby, naplňovaly je, nechaly vyrůst jeho potenciál. Stal se na běžný provoz nejpohodovějším psem útulku. Spolehlivý, bezpečný, radostný. Co Opimu člověk dává, to člověku Opi vrací. Přesto už dlouho tráví dny v útulku a stále vyhlíží někoho, kdo ho vezme domů. Přitom by mohl být tím nejlepším parťákem, jakého si lze představit. Aktivní, chytrý a věrný. Miluje pohyb, dlouhé procházky, hry i práci s člověkem. Ale co miluje nejvíc? Být s vámi. Proč si zamilujete Opiho? Bude váš stín i nejlepší kamarád – Chce být součástí vašeho života, ať už se vydáte na výlet do hor, nebo si jen sednete na gauč a budete spolu odpočívat. Je chytrý a učenlivý – Jako kříženec border kolie má v sobě inteligenci a touhu spolupracovat. Stačí mu dát šanci a ukáže vám, jak moc vás chce potěšit. Má srdce plné lásky – I když v útulku čeká dlouho, neztratil důvěru v lidi. Pořád věří, že jednoho dne si ho někdo vybere a dá mu opravdový domov. Koho hledá? Aktivního člověka, který ho nenechá zahálet. Učí se neuvěřitelně rád, rychle a s nadšením, tedy bude stačit, když člověk bude chtít a nebude se bát potřebné práce se psem. Každý psí sport je vítán, turistika je nutný základ a zbytek ukáže čas. Domov bez dětí, koček a jiných psů. Opus potřebuje majitele klidné, stabilní, vyrovnané, trpělivé. Někoho, kdo mu dá lásku, ale i jasná pravidla, aby byl šťastný a spokojený. Opi je čistotný, nic neničí, hodí se tedy do života v bytě či domě. Člověka, který zná podstatu pozitivního podmiňování, ošetření se souhlasem a který chce s Opim ještě dále pejskařsky růst. Opi možná není štěně, možná už něco zažil. Ale jedno je jisté – bude vás milovat celým svým srdcem. Přijďte se na něj podívat a nechte ho, ať vás přesvědčí sám. Možná právě vy jste ten, na koho tak dlouho čeká. Opus je očkovaný, ošetřený proti vnějším i vnitřním parazitům a označený mikročipem. Podmínkou adopce je kastrace po aklimatizaci v novém domově. V případě zájmu o adopci unikátního Opiho Vás poprosíme o zaslání e-mailu na . Do e-mailu napište základní informace o sobě, své rodině, dalších zvířatech, zázemí a zkušenostech se psy. Prostě takový zvířecí životopis, ať máme představu o tom, jaký život mu nabízíte. Na e-mail Vám odpovíme, zavoláme a domluvíme si první seznamovací návštěvu. Za energické focení patří naše poděkování Radku Havlíčkovi ♥ vividfoto.cz ♥ Povaha: energický, veselý, přátelský

About Opi

What life with Opi looks like

Opi is a medium-sized adult border collie dog waiting at Útulek Tábor in Czech Republic.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Opi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Opi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Útulek Tábor handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Opi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Opi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Tábor 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 Opi 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 Opi 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 Tábor early rather than rehoming privately; they know Opi 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.
