Adopt Svata

Male · Senior · 13 years

AGE: 12-13 years We are looking for a new home for an older dog who came to us neglected, painful, sad and because of that was a bit grumpy. At the beginning he didn't even want to be put on a leash. But now he is completely different - he copes with normal handling, he doesn't let himself be scared by everyone, but he has opened up beautifully with us - suddenly there is life in his eyes. ❤️ After dental treatment he felt much better, thanks to movement he lost weight and started really enjoying life. He likes to fetch and enjoys every little thing. He is low-maintenance, he is satisfied with shorter walks and will most appreciate a calm, relaxed routine. Due to his age, we are looking for a calmer household - without small children and if possible without a large number of stairs. He had elevated liver tests, so it would be advisable in the future to feed a liver diet. Right now he doesn't have it, because due to his teeth we were glad he ate something at all - often we even cooked for him. The compatibility with other dogs can be tested with us, depending on mutual sympathy. He is now a cheerful, grateful dog partner who is looking for his quiet home. If Sváťa has caught your attention, please fill out the adoption questionnaire and we will get back to you. Warning: The description of the dog is based on his behavior shortly after arriving at the shelter. We try to place dogs in the offer as soon as possible, so they can start looking for a new home as quickly as possible. However, the dog's behavior may change during his stay with us, so we try to update the information and labels continuously. However, our time options are limited, so the labels may not always immediately reflect the current state. Please also keep in mind that the dog's behavior may be different in a home environment than in the shelter.

Věk: 12-13 let Hledáme nový domov pro staršího pejska, který k nám přišel zanedbaný, bolestivý, smutný a díky tomu byl i trochu nevrlý. Dokonce se ze začátku nechtěl nechat ani připnout na vodítko. Dnes je z něj ale úplně jiný pejsek – běžnou manipulaci už zvládá, zatím se nenechá pochovat od každého, ale krásně se u nás otevřel – najednou má v očích život. ❤️ Po ošetření zoubků se mu výrazně ulevilo, díky pohybu u nás zhubnul a začal si život opravdu užívat. Rád aportuje a těší se z každé maličkosti. Je nenáročný, spokojí se s kratšími procházkami a nejvíc ocení klidný, pohodový režim. Vzhledem k věku pro něj hledáme spíše klidnější domácnost – bez malých dětí a pokud možno bez většího množství schodů. Měl zvýšené jaterní testy, proto by do budoucna bylo vhodné podávat jaterní dietu. Momentálně ji ale nemá, protože kvůli zoubkům jsme byli rádi, že vůbec něco sní – často jsme mu i vařili. Snašenlivost s ostatními pejsky je možné vyzkoušet u nás, záleží na vzájemné sympatii. Je to teď veselý, vděčný psí parťák, který hledá svůj klidný domov. Pokud vás Sváťa zaujal, prosíme o vyplnění adopčního dotazníku a my vás budeme zpětně kontaktovat. Upozornění: Popis psa vychází z jeho chování krátce po přijetí do útulku. Snažíme se psy co nejdříve zařazovat do nabídky, aby mohli co nejrychleji začít hledat nový domov. Chování psa se však může během pobytu u nás postupně měnit, proto se snažíme informace i popisky průběžně aktualizovat. Naše časové možnosti jsou však omezené, takže popisky nemusí vždy okamžitě odrážet aktuální stav. Mějte prosím také na paměti, že chování psa může být jiné v domácím prostředí než v útulku.

About Svata

What life with Svata looks like

Svata is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Útulek Dogsy in Czech Republic.

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 Svata, answered.

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