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 was found in the district of Šaca in the city of Košice – Záhradky. He was emaciated and had a large number of ticks. He is a young, active, and cheerful dog who enjoys living life to the fullest. He is very eager to discover new places, goes on walks, and takes an interest in everything that happens around him.

Ricky sa našiel v košickej mestskej časti Šaca – Záhradky. Bol vychudnutý a mal na sebe množstvo kliešťov. Je to mladý, aktívny a veselý psík, ktorý si rád užíva život naplno. Veľmi rád objavuje nové miesta, chodí na prechádzky a zaujíma sa o všetko, čo sa okolo neho deje. Veľkou motiváciou je pre neho jedlo, čo vzhľadom na jeho stav pri príchode nie je nič prekvapivé.

About Ricky

What life with Ricky looks like

Ricky is a medium-sized 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.
