How do I contact the shelter about Timmy?

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

Can I adopt Timmy 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 Timmy 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 Timmy 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 Timmy 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.

Timmy

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 12 years

April 2024 - Timmy is much better in behavior, calmer, more obedient. He knows basic commands very well. He is very popular with people for walking. In the kennel run, he always demands attention from passersby. We often observe that as he ages, the dog calms down and the person no longer has to fear unexpected reactions. We think this is the case with Timmy. We would be very happy if someone gives him a chance to spend his old age in a home environment, he deserves it... has been at the shelter for 5 years!!! February 2021 - Timmy made great progress in training dogs at the shelter. Still, it is necessary to take into account that he will need some time to get used to his new owner. However, he is a clever dog and deserves another chance. Suitable for a house with a garden, which he will watch over for you. April 2019 – Timmy is a big mixed breed Labrador and was unfortunately returned to us after 2 years of foster care. Timmy seems to be a kind and friendly dog, but unfortunately, in some situations, he reacts unpredictably and attacks. It is highly likely that he will stay in the shelter for a long time, unless someone is found who can accept that he will have a dog that will be in the kennel run and every time he wants to let him off the leash, he must put a muzzle on him. It's not worth the risk. He would be suitable for a family home with a garden and preferably in a family without children.

Duben 2024 - Timmy už je v chování o moc lepší, klidnější, poslušnější. Zná velmi dobře základní povely. Hodně je u lidí oblíbený pro venčení. V kotci se vždy dožaduje pozornosti procházejícího. Často pozorujeme, že stářím se pes zklidní a už se člověk nemusí obávat nečekaných reakcí. A to si myslíme, že je i případ Timmyho. Budeme moc rádi, když mu na stáří někdo dá šanci na dožití v domácím prostředí, zasloužil by si to….na útulku čeká 5 let !!! únor 2021 - Timmy v rámci výcviku psů na útulku udělal velké pokroky. I tak je potřeba počítat s tím, že si na nového majitele bude chvilku zvykat. Je to ale šikovný pes a tak si zaslouží další šanci. Vhdoný do domku se zahradou, kterou vám ohlídá. Duben 2019 – Timmy je mohutný kříženec labradora a byl nám bohužel vrácen po 2 letech z pěstounské péče. Timmy se zdá být hodný a přátelský pes, ale bohužel v některých situacích reaguje nepředvídaně a zaútočí. Je vysoce pravděpodobné, že bude dlouho trčet v útulku, pokud by se tedy našel majitele, který se smíří s tím, že bude mít psa, kterého bude mít v kotci a vždy když ho bude chtít pustit na volno, musí mu nasadit košík. Nemá totiž cenu riskovat. Byl by vhodný do rodinného domu na zahradu a raději do rodiny bez dětí.

About Timmy

What life with Timmy looks like

Timmy is a senior labrador retriever 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.
