Our dogs are grateful for every walk and caress. However, they are also vulnerable, so it is necessary to take a responsible approach to walking them and respect the rules and instructions of the caretakers. In the shelter, we mostly have medium-sized to large dogs. In order to be able to go hiking with us, you need to get a hiking permit. Registration is required before the first visit to the shelter. Please fill out our online registration form in advance. You will then receive a confirmation email. The one-time administrative fee for issuing a pass is 5 euros, it is paid at the reception of our shelter. We have leads available. Come dressed comfortably, rather sporty and in things that can withstand a little dirt, because the dogs can be muddy from the paddocks or from a walk in the forest. If you are not 18 years old, it is necessary to bring a written consent from a parent, also with his signature. A dog on a lead can only be led by a child older than 13 years.
You can come for a walk on any day.We walk daily from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. Outside of these hours, the shelter cleans its premises and feeds the animals. There is usually a lot of interest in dog walking on weekends, at this time we have enough walkers. Therefore, if you have the opportunity, visit us during the week. Our shelter is located in Bratislava at Polianki, Pod brehmi 1/A.
The rules for walking dogs in our shelter are as follows:
1, You may only go outside during the reserved time from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. The dog must be returned to the shelter on time. It’s for his own good.
2, Carry your hiking license with you and hand it to the attendants before hiking.
3, ask the groomer about the dog’s temperament. Let the dog sniff you and get to know you. Keep in mind that it may be an abused animal. She can be shy and, based on bad experiences with people, mistrustful. The groomer decides on a suitable dog for walking.
