Pumpkin

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Pumpkin is looking for a new home! Pumpkin, or Tekvička, came to us from another quarantine station, where she didn't even know what problem was hidden in her. At first glance, she looked pregnant, but further examinations showed that she had unwanted foreign objects in her stomach. She had to have an urgent operation. Finally, she had more than 1.5 kg of garbage in her belly, various items or even shoelaces. We can only imagine how she must have lived, being forced to eat such waste. Today, Pumpkin is fine, she is cheerful, energetic, playful, but you just have to be careful what papá and of course the amount, since she tends to gain weight. She gets along quite well with other dogs, but with other female dogs individually. She is trouble-free with people, likes to be petted. Activities should be adjusted to her current condition, she will not be suitable for full-day tourism or agility, but she will not just lie on the couch all day either. Suitable for outside with access to the yard.

Pumpkin hľadá nový domov! Pumpkin, alebo Tekvička, k nám prišla z inej karanténnej stanice, kde ani nevedela aký problém sa v nej skrýva. na prvý pohľad vyzerala gravidná, avšak ďalšie vyšetrenia ukázali, že má v žalúdku nežiadúce cudzie predmety. Musela urgentne na operáciu. Nakoniec mala v brušku viac ako 1,5 kg smetí, rôznych handier či dokonca šnúrky od topánok. Môžeme si len predstaviť ako musela žiť, keď bola odkázaná jesť takýto odpad. Dnes je už Pumpkin v poriadku, je veselá, energická, hravá, len treba dávať pozor čo papá a samozrejme aj na množstvo, keďže má sklony k priberaniu. S druhými psami si celkom rozumie, s inými fenkami individuálne. K ľuďom bezproblémová, rada sa hladká. Aktivity treba prispôsobiť jej aktuálnemu stavu, nebude vhodná na celodennú turistiku, či agility, ale zas ani nepoleží celý deň na gauči. Vhodná von s prístupom dnu.

About Pumpkin

What life with Pumpkin looks like

Pumpkin is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at OZ Šťastné Labky Fiľakovo 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 Pumpkin, answered.

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