Tinka

Mixed Breed · Female

Tinka was found in the bushes right next to the shelter. We don't know how she got there or what she experienced before. Now she is safe and looking for her new home. Tinka is a young female puppy, with a personality that matches her age. She is cheerful, playful, curious and active. She enjoys exploring her surroundings, is interested in new things and enjoys human company. She has a lot of energy and a desire to explore the world. She needs regular walks, games and activities, but also time devoted to her upbringing. She is still young and still learning many things, so it will be important to continue socialization and gradually introduce her to different situations and environments. Handling is problem-free. She still needs to refine her hygiene habits, which is natural given her age. With a regular routine and walking, she will gradually learn them. Tinka is looking for more active people who will give her enough exercise, joint activities and also devote themselves to her upbringing. She is a young female puppy who has her whole adolescence ahead of her and needs people who will guide her through it correctly. She is looking for a home in an apartment or a family house with full access inside. Tinka is waiting for a family with whom she can explore the world, enjoy joint trips and walks and, above all, be a beloved part of her daily life.

Tinka sa našla v kríkoch priamo pri útulku. Ako sa tam dostala a čo zažila predtým, nevieme. Teraz je už v bezpečí a hľadá si svoj nový domov. Tinka je mladá fenočka, povahou presne zodpovedajúca svojmu veku. Je veselá, hravá, zvedavá a aktívna. Rada objavuje svoje okolie, zaujíma sa o nové veci a užíva si spoločnosť človeka. Má ešte množstvo energie a chuti spoznávať svet. Potrebuje pravidelné prechádzky, hry a aktivity, ale zároveň aj čas venovaný výchove. Je stále mladá a veľa vecí sa ešte len učí, preto bude dôležité pokračovať v socializácii a postupne ju zoznamovať s rôznymi situáciami a prostrediami. Manipulácia je bezproblémová. Hygienické návyky ešte potrebuje doladiť, čo je vzhľadom na jej vek prirodzené. Pri pravidelnom režime a venčení sa ich bude postupne učiť. Tinka si hľadá aktívnejších ľudí, ktorí jej doprajú dostatok pohybu, spoločných aktivít a zároveň sa jej budú venovať aj po stránke výchovy. Je to mladá fenočka, ktorá má pred sebou ešte celé dospievanie a potrebuje ľudí, ktorí ju ním správne prevedú. Domov si hľadá v byte alebo v rodinnom dome s úplným prístupom dovnútra. Tinka čaká na rodinu, s ktorou bude môcť objavovať svet, užívať si spoločné výlety a prechádzky a predovšetkým byť milovanou súčasťou jej každodenného života.

About Tinka

What life with Tinka looks like

Tinka 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 Tinka, answered.

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