Zorka

Mixed Breed · Female

Zorka's story began when a woman contacted us with a request for help. The neighbor's house had been sold, and on the property remained the female dog, which the new owner showed no interest in. Upon arriving at the shelter, she was very frightened and distrustful. She didn't know what was happening, but after a few days, she mustered the courage, and today she is a confident and friendly female dog who enjoys the company of people and dog friends. With new people, she is initially a bit shy, but if you give her some time and a few treats, she quickly grows fond of you and becomes a loyal friend. She gets along completely without problems with dogs and female dogs and loves to play with them. Her small challenge is walking on a leash - apparently she didn't have much experience with it, but she is making great progress and will definitely learn it over time.

Zorkin príbeh začal, keď nás kontaktovala pani s prosbou o pomoc. Susedov dom sa predal a na pozemku ostala ona – fenočka, o ktorú nový majiteľ nejavil žiadny záujem. Po príchode do útulku bola veľmi vyplašená a nedôverčivá. Nevedela, čo sa deje, no po pár dňoch sa osmelila a dnes je z nej sebavedomá a priateľská fenočka, ktorá si užíva spoločnosť ľudí aj psích kamarátov. Pri nových ľuďoch je spočiatku trošku nesmelá, no ak jej dáte chvíľku času a pár pamlskov, rýchlo si Vás obľúbi a stane sa z nej verná kamarátka. So psíkmi aj fenkami vychádza úplne bez problémov a veľmi rada sa s nimi zahrá. Jej malou výzvou je ešte chôdza na vodítku – očividne s tým nemala veľa skúseností, no robí veľké pokroky a určite sa to časom naučí.

About Zorka

What life with Zorka looks like

Zorka 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 Zorka, answered.

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