Rocky

Unknown · Senior · 9 years

We have Rocky at the shelter since July 2022, when he was taken from his original owner due to inappropriate treatment. When he arrived, it was clear that he was not in good overall condition and his trust in people had been broken. A colleague who started working with him quickly built a relationship with him, and today we can offer you a Rottweiler who is manageable, but only for someone with experience with dogs, ideally Rottweilers, and willing to respect that you are taking a dog from the shelter (especially one with not completely ideal history). Rocky is not suitable for a family, but ideally for an individual. He is intelligent and will enjoy learning new things with you, but there is still a lot of work needed with him. He is neutered.

Rockyho v útulku máme od července 2022, kdy byl odebrán původnímu majiteli pro nevhodné zacházení. Při příjmu byl patrné, že není celkově dobré kondici a jeho důvěra k lidem byla nabouraná. Kolegyňka, která s ním začala pracovat, si s ním brzy navázala vztah, a dnes Vám můžeme nabídnout rotvajlera, který je zvládnutelný, ale jen pro člověka se zkušenostmi se psy, ideálně rotvajlery, a ochotou respektovat, že si bere psa z útulku (navíc s ne úplně ideální historií). Rocky není vhodný do rodiny, ale ideálně k jednotlivci. Je učenlivý, bude se s vámi rád učit novým věcem, je potřeba s ním opravdu ještě hodně pracovat. Je kastrovaný.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a large senior dog waiting at Útulek Zlín-Vršava in Zlín-Zlín 12.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇿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 Rocky, answered.

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