Weight: 10 kg

Castration: Yes

Description: The female was rescued from very bad breeding conditions along with two others, they all were unsocial, basically haven't had any human touch, extremely timid. The two females already got adopted and Maja stayed alone. She still doesn't trust humans, will need a lot of time and patience to reach positive behavioral change. Unfortunately, we have no time and resources to work with her individually, she'd deserve a foster care and someone patient who would be willing to work with her. Outside she's very quick and active, suitable as a second dog that would help her socialize faster.

Castration: Yes

Description: Batido was thrown out by a gypsy family on Hričkova street in Piešťany. Kids who found him reached to us saying that the chain was tied tightly around his neck and was all sore. We came to pick him up and went straight to the vet - the wound was treated and Batido got medication for proper healing. He was distrustful and aggressive for a while, he must have suffered a lot. The wound is now healed and he just loves when we come to see him, enjoying cuddles and fetching toy balls. He became a completely different dog, started enjoying walks with visitors as well. He’s a bit picky about his dog-friends, not all of them are sympathetic to him. Video: https://www.facebook.com/UtulokPiestany/videos/744608339500132/

Height: 70 cm

Weight: 33 kg

Castration: Yes

Description: A big wolfhound was found in Chtelnica village without a tag. He’s intelligent a fast learner, but comes off as dominant. He needs someone experienced and a lot of space to run around in. He’s got a lot of energy and is a great guard. The only negative thing is the aggression towards other dogs. He is able to fight the dog without any provocation. He likes to pursuit runners or cyclists and always should be taken for a walk only with a muzzle. He soundly moves near the leg, listens to commands and loves to be taken on a car ride. He would be suitable for a home without any dogs or small kids. He is not a type of dog to take on a vacation or a run, mainly because of his aggression towards other dogs and the surroundings. A small farm or a house with a big property would be ideal for him.

He is making progress though; he has learned to walk on a leash and play with the handlers. He grew into a silly, playful pup but he is a robust dog, heavy enough to take a person down to the ground when playing. He needs an experienced owner and he will be a great guard dog.

Description: Jimbo was reported by the town hall in Drahovce after he had been wandering around the village for a longer time. He turned out to be very cheerful and passionate. Jimbo is a good guard and he can get along with female dogs, however, he dislikes other male dogs. He is suitable for the yard and he has a hunting instinct in himself, so it is better not to have him near chickens. Jimbo would more enjoy the company of mature children. He has been waiting unnoticed in our dog shelter for years and, unfortunately, he is not the only one. Jimbo refuses to take pictures of himself and he is afraid of the camera – in those situations, regardless of his size, he would fit even into a mouse hole.
