Sting was found tied to a lightning rod on Južná Street 42. He was lucky that the lady heard him barking and his fate was not indifferent to her. Sting is a nice and energetic young dog. He has a very playful and cheerful nature, he wants to play with everyone and everything right away. He is clever, fearless and cheerful. He is active and always comes up with something to entertain himself. He must be everywhere, see everything and explore everything. He enjoys petting, scratching and full attention. He likes toys and playing with dogs. He gets along well with dogs and female dogs, but also likes to provoke and bark at them. He has good hygiene habits with regular walks, he behaves politely and handling is problem-free. Sting will be a great buddy for hiking, dog sports or just lounging with his owner. He is a young dog who will be exactly like you raise him.

Sting sa našiel priviazaný o bleskozvod na ulici Južná trieda 42. Mal veľké šťastie, že ho počula pani štekať a jeho osud jej nebol ľahostajný. Sting je milý a energický mladý psík. Má veľmi hravú a veselú povahu, s každým a so všetkým sa chce hneď hrať. Je to šikovný, nebojácny a veselý psík. Je aktívny a stále niečo vymýšľa ako sa zabaviť. Všade musí byť, všetko musí vidieť a všetko preskúmať. Užíva si mojkanie, škrabkanie a plnú pozornosť. Má rád hračky a šálenie sa so psami. So psami a fenkami vychádza bez problémov, ale rád ich aj provokuje a oštekáva. Hygienické návyky má pri pravidlnom venčení, dnu sa správa slušne a manipulácia je bezproblémová. Sting bude skvelý parťák či už na turistiku, psie športy či len tak vylihovanie pri svojom páničkovi. Je to mladučký psík, ktorý bude presne taký, ako si ho vychováte.

About Sting

What life with Sting looks like

Sting 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sting, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sting?
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 Sting on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sting 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 Sting 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 Sting 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 Sting 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.
