How do I contact the shelter about Willy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mestský útulok Poprad handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Willy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Willy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mestský útulok Poprad 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 Willy 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 Willy 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 Mestský útulok Poprad early rather than rehoming privately; they know Willy 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.

Adopt Willy

Male · Adult · 4 years

Our little wolf Willy was found running around in one of the garden areas in our city. After several hours of chasing, the city police brought him to our shelter. The first days here were very hard for him. He was scared, did not come out of his kennel, avoided eye contact and resisted any close contact with us. Over time, he forgot all the bad things. His tail started wagging, his eyes sparkled, he started running and barking. We don't know what this beautiful dog must have gone through in his life, who left him... He will never experience anything bad again. We will make sure he finds a loving home as soon as possible, where he will forget his previous life. Willy is approximately 4 years old, medium-sized. He looks like a small wolf. He gets along with female dogs, but he chooses the puppies. With his wonderful appearance and great character, he will impress every visitor of our shelter. He dreams of a new home in an apartment, but also in a house. To his new owner, he will be loyal until the end of his life, will obey every command and will love him with all his heart. This is our Willy, an amazing family dog, who believes that somewhere there is his dreamed family waiting for him. Can we find it together?

Náš vĺčik Willy sa našiel pobehovať po jednej zo záhradkárskych oblastí v našom meste. Po niekoľko hodinovom odchyte ho mestská polícia doniesla do nášho útulku. Prvé dni u nás zvládal veľmi ťažko. Bál sa, nevychádzal z búdy, uhýbal pohľadom a bránil sa akémukoľvek bližšiemu kontaktu s nami. Postupom času zabudol na všetko zlé. Chvostík sa mu rozvrtel, očká rozžiarili, začal pobehovať a brechať. Nevieme, čo si tento krásny psík musel za svoj život prežiť, kto ho vyhodil … Nič zlé už nikdy nezažije. Postaráme sa o to, aby čo najskôr našiel milujúci domov, v ktorom zabudne na predošlý život. Willy má približne 4 roky, je stredného vzrastu. Vyzerá ako zmenšenina vlka. Znáša sa s fenkami, ale psíkov si vyberá. Svojím nádherným vzhľadom a skvelou povahou zaujme každého návštevníka nášho útulku. Sníva o novom domove v byte, ale aj v rodinnom domčeku. Novému majiteľovi bude oddaný až do konca svojho života, poslúchne každý jeden príkaz a bude ho milovať celým svojím srdcom. Takýto je náš Willy, úžasný rodinný psík, ktorý verí, že aj na neho niekde čaká jeho vysnívaná rodina. Nájdeme mu ju spolu?

About Willy

What life with Willy looks like

Willy is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Mestský útulok Poprad in Poprad.

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.
