How do I contact the shelter about Finley?

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

Can I adopt Finley if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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 Finley 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 Finley 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Finley 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 (DE). 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.

Finley

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Born: ca. 2017/2018 Breed: Great mixed breed, ca. 60 cm Compatibility with others: Would like to be a single dog Currently located: animal shelter Hajdúböszörmény, Hungary Surrender reason: Was caught by dog catchers on the street Finley – YouTube Finley is a very temperamental and active male dog who has plenty of strength on the leash. He is very loyal and absolutely true to his trusted people. He does not tolerate other dogs, at least not in the stressful shelter situation. He is very friendly to people, kind, and shows himself to be quite cuddly once he realizes that you mean him no harm. An ideal home would be a single household where he can enjoy all the attention of his owners. Children should already be in a young age. An enclosed garden would of course be ideal for him, where he can run to his heart's content. We appreciate his nature, that he will be very loyal and vigilant towards his owners. Experience in dealing with dogs should be present.

Geboren: ca. 2017/2018 Rasse: Großer Mischling, ca. 60 cm Verträglichkeit: Möchte Einzelhund sein Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Hajdúböszörmény, Ungarn Abgabegrund: Wurde von Hundefängern auf der Straße gefangen Einzelhund Finley – YouTube Finley ist ein sehr temperamentvoller und aktiver Rüde, der dazu an der Leine ordentlich Kraft hat. Er verhält sich seinen Bezugspersonen gegenüber sehr loyal und absolut treu. Andere Hunde duldet er nicht, zumindest in der stressigen Tierheimsituation nicht. Zu Menschen ist er sehr lieb, freundlich und zeigt sich durchaus verschmust wenn er einmal gemerkt hat, dass man es gut mit ihm meint. Ideal wäre ein Einzelzuhause wo er die ganze Aufmerksamkeit seiner Besitzer genießen darf. Kinder sollten in jedem Fall schon im jugendlichen Alter sein. Ein eingezäunter Garten wäre natürlich ideal für ihn, wo er nach Herzenslust toben kann. Vom Wesen schätzen wir ihn ein dass er sich seinen Besitzern gegenüber als sehr loyal und wachsam verhalten wird. Erfahrung im Umgang mit Hunden sollte vorhanden sein.

About Finley

What life with Finley looks like

Finley is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
