How do I contact the shelter about Winnie?

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

Can I adopt Winnie 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 Winnie 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 Winnie 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 Winnie 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.

Winnie

Mixed Breed · Male

Winnie was found on the street Pri prachárni in the old Blšák building. He was exhausted, had his entire body covered with ticks and fleas, refused to eat, and was weak. Veterinary examinations revealed serious diagnoses - anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and borreliosis. Without treatment, these diseases are life-threatening, but Winnie received infusion therapy and the necessary medication and is still in treatment. Despite everything he has been through, Winnie is an incredible friendly and affectionate dog. At first contact, he may be a bit distrustful, but a few treats will quickly convince him that people can be good. He loves fetching and toys, and enjoys playing by himself. He gets along well with dogs and female dogs, and handling him is completely problem-free. Winnie is the ideal buddy - whether for walks in nature or lounging on the couch. He's looking for a home where he will be given love, care, and comfort, which he deserves so much. If you give him a chance, you will gain a loyal and grateful friend for life!

Winnie sa našiel na ulici Pri prachárni v objekte starého Blšáku. Bol vyčerpaný, mal celé telo pokryté kliešťami a blchami, odmietal jedlo a bol malátny. Veterinárne vyšetrenia odhalili vážne diagnózy – anaplazmózu, babeziózu a boreliózu. Bez liečby sú tieto ochorenia život ohrozujúce, no Winnie dostal infúznu terapiu a potrebné lieky a momentálne je stále v liečbe. Napriek všetkému, čím si prešiel, je Winnie neuveriteľne milý a priateľský psík. Pri prvom kontakte môže byť trošku nedôverčivý, ale pár piškótiek ho rýchlo presvedčí, že ľudia môžu byť dobrí. Miluje aportovanie a hračky, rád sa zabaví aj sám. So psami aj fenkami vychádza bez problémov a manipulácia s ním je úplne bezproblémová. Winnie je ideálny parťák – či už na prechádzky do prírody, alebo na leňošenie na gauči. Hľadá domov, kde mu doprajú lásku, starostlivosť a pohodlie, ktoré si tak veľmi zaslúži. Ak mu dáte šancu, získate verného a vďačného priateľa na celý život!

About Winnie

What life with Winnie looks like

Winnie is a medium-sized 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.
