How do I contact the shelter about Shelly?

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

Can I adopt Shelly 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 Shelly 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 Shelly 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 Shelly 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.

Shelly

Mixed Breed · Female

Shelly was found in the municipal part of Košice called Šaca. When she arrived at the shelter, she was emaciated, full of sores and scratches, and had a roughly 30-centimeter rope around her neck. Despite all of this, she is a very sweet, friendly, and cheerful female dog. She loves people and fully enjoys their company. She seeks attention from people and genuinely looks forward to every encounter. Shelly is a young and active female dog who likes to discover new places and explore her surroundings. She is very social and looks forward to every opportunity for a shared activity. She will be a great buddy for walks, outings, and a regular daily life. She gets along well with other dogs, including female dogs, and has no problems functioning in a group of dogs. Handling is completely problem-free. Inside, she is well-behaved, and she does not damage things. When eating, she watches her bowl towards other dogs but does not show any unwanted behavior towards people and can manipulate the bowl without problems. Shelly is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with indoor access. She is suitable for a family with children who will provide her with enough movement, shared activities, and will consider her a full-fledged member of the family. Shelly is a happy young female dog who, despite her past, has maintained her trust in people. Now she just waits for someone to show her what a beautiful life can be in a real home.

Shelly sa našla v košickej mestskej časti Šaca. Keď prišla do útulku, bola vychudnutá, plná bĺch a kliešťov a na krku mala približne 30-centimetrovú šnúrku. Napriek tomu všetkému je z nej veľmi milá, priateľská a veselá fenočka. Ľudí má veľmi rada a ich spoločnosť si naplno užíva. Pozornosť človeka vyhľadáva a z každého stretnutia sa úprimne teší. Shelly je mladá a aktívna fenka, ktorá rada objavuje nové miesta a skúma svoje okolie. Veľmi rada aportuje a teší sa každej príležitosti na spoločnú aktivitu. Bude skvelou parťáčkou na prechádzky, výlety aj bežný každodenný život. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov. Rada je v ich spoločnosti a nemá problém fungovať v skupinke psov. Manipulácia je úplne bezproblémová. Vo vnútri sa správa slušne a veci neničí. Pri kŕmení si stráži svoju misku voči iným psom, voči ľuďom však neprejavuje žiadne neželané správanie a s miskou je možné bez problémov manipulovať. Shelly si hľadá domov v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dovnútra. Je vhodná aj do rodiny s deťmi, ktorá jej dopraje dostatok pohybu, spoločných aktivít a bude ju brať ako plnohodnotného člena rodiny. Shelly je veselá mladá fenočka, ktorá si napriek svojej minulosti zachovala dôveru v ľudí. Teraz už len čaká na niekoho, kto jej ukáže, aký krásny môže byť život v skutočnom domove.

About Shelly

What life with Shelly looks like

Shelly 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.
