How do I contact the shelter about Ricky?

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

Can I adopt Ricky 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 Ricky 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 Ricky 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 Ricky 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.

Ricky

Mixed Breed · Male

Ricky found himself running alongside his brother Ronym during a trip in Košické Polianky. At first, they were both very stressed and unsure, but gradually they realized they were safe and now fully enjoy their puppy life. Ricky is a typical young puppy – playful, active, curious, and full of energy. He loves discovering new things, exploring the world around him, and enthusiastically joins in every fun activity. He enjoys playing with his canine friends and playing around is one of his favorite activities. Although he may still get scared during sudden movements, he becomes braver and more confident each day. He is a sweet and sensitive pup who needs a loving approach and patient guidance. He gets along well with other dogs, including female dogs. Since he is still very young, he is still learning proper hygiene habits. His new family awaits everything that puppy rearing entails – learning new things, patience, shared world exploration, and plenty of joy and beautiful experiences. Ricky is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with indoor access. He is seeking a responsible family that will give him enough time, love, patience, and help him grow into a great doggy buddy. Ricky is looking for a forever home – a home where he can grow up, explore the world, and be a beloved family member.

Ricky sa spolu so svojím bračekom Ronym našiel pobehovať pri ceste v Košickej Polianke. Na začiatku boli obaja veľmi vystresovaní a neistí, no postupne zistili, že sú v bezpečí a dnes si už naplno užívajú bezstarostný život šteniatka. Ricky je typické mladé šteniatko – hravý, aktívny, zvedavý a plný energie. Rád objavuje nové veci, spoznáva svet okolo seba a s nadšením sa zapája do každej zábavy. Veľmi rád sa hrá so svojimi psími kamarátmi a šantenie patrí medzi jeho najobľúbenejšie činnosti. Pri prudších pohyboch sa ešte občas zľakne, no každým dňom je odvážnejší a istejší. Je to milý a vnímavý psík, ktorý potrebuje láskavý prístup a trpezlivé vedenie. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov. Keďže je ešte veľmi mladý, hygienické návyky sa stále len učí. Jeho novú rodinu čaká všetko, čo k výchove šteniatka patrí – učenie nových vecí, trpezlivosť, spoločné objavovanie sveta, ale aj množstvo radosti a krásnych zážitkov. Ricky si hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dovnútra. Hľadá zodpovednú rodinu, ktorá mu dopraje dostatok času, lásky, trpezlivosti a pomôže mu vyrásť na skvelého psieho parťáka. Ricky hľadá domov navždy – domov, kde bude môcť vyrastať, objavovať svet a byť milovaným členom rodiny.

About Ricky

What life with Ricky looks like

Ricky 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.
