Theodor

Mixed Breed · Male

Theodor was found in the Košice city district Luník IX. He was very stressed, full of ticks and reacted to people with great distrust. After a few days in safety, he started to get used to his surroundings and showed what a grateful dog he actually is. Now he is a friendly and contactable dog who likes attention, petting and human company. He is still startled by sudden movements, but is gradually learning that he doesn't have to be afraid anymore. He loves fetching, enjoys playing and really likes water - he is a buddy you will definitely not get bored with. He gets along with dogs and female dogs, but guards his food bowl in front of them - he needs space where he can eat in peace. Handling is trouble-free, he behaves politely and doesn't destroy things. His hygiene habits still need refinement, but with regularity and proper guidance it will definitely work out. Theodor is looking for active and understanding people who will give him time, space and patience to get used to them and feel safe. He is looking for a home in an apartment or a house with access to a yard.

Theodor sa našiel v košickej mestskej časti Luník IX. Bol veľmi vystresovaný, plný kliešťov a na ľudí reagoval s veľkou nedôverou. Po pár dňoch v bezpečí si však začal zvykať a ukázal, aký vďačný psík v ňom vlastne je. Teraz je z neho priateľský a kontaktný psík, ktorý má rád pozornosť, hladkanie a spoločnosť človeka. Ešte stále sa zľakne prudkých pohybov, no postupne sa učí, že sa už nemusí báť. Obľubuje aportovanie, rád sa hrá a veľmi si užíva vodu – je to parťák, s ktorým sa určite nudiť nebudete. So psami aj fenkami vychádza, no misku s jedlom si pred nimi stráži – potrebuje priestor, kde bude môcť v pokoji papať. Manipulácia je bez problémov, dnu sa správa slušne a veci neničí. Hygienické návyky ešte potrebuje doladiť, ale s pravidelnosťou a správnym vedením to určite pôjde. Theodor si hľadá aktívnych a chápavých ľudí, ktorí mu dajú čas, priestor a trpezlivosť, aby si na nich zvykol a cítil sa v bezpečí. Domov si hľadá v byte alebo v dome s prístupom dnu.

About Theodor

What life with Theodor looks like

Theodor 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 Theodor, answered.

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