Betsy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Easygoing Labrador-like family dog, 2 yrs., spayed. Betsy was born around April 2024, weighs about 23 kg and is a medium-sized dog. She comes from Slovakia, where she unfortunately did not have a very nice start in life. She lived in a village and had to fend for herself on the streets. Animal rescuers saved her and gave her the chance at a new, better life. Despite her past, Betsy is an exceptionally friendly, sweet and open dog. She enjoys human attention and is simply happy when someone spends time with her. She also gets along well with other dogs. Betsy is an easygoing dog who now finally wants to discover how wonderful a home of her own can be: a warm bed, regular walks, people who are there for her, and of course lots and lots of love. She is already used to a leash and harness, which gives her a good foundation for walks together. Attending dog school would be a great opportunity for Betsy to keep learning together with her people, to attune to each other perfectly and to grow together as a team. Betsy still has so much to catch up on. That is why we wish for people for her who will give her the time she needs to settle into her new life. People who will show her with patience and love how beautiful the world is, and who look forward to discovering many new things together with her. Betsy is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, spayed, veterinarian-examined and has an EU pet passport. We look forward to your inquiry via our adoption form: Or by phone at . Origin: Slovakia.

Unkompliziere Labrador ähnl. Familienhündin, 2J., kastriert Betsy ist ungefähr im April 2024 geboren, wiegt etwa 23 kg und ist eine mittelgroße Hündin. Sie stammt aus der Slowakei und hatte dort leider keinen besonders schönen Start ins Leben. Sie lebte in einem Dorf und musste sich auf der Straße durchschlagen. Tierschützer retteten sie und gaben ihr damit die Chance auf ein neues, besseres Leben. Trotz ihrer Vergangenheit ist Betsy eine ausgesprochen freundliche, liebe und aufgeschlossene Hündin. Sie genießt menschliche Aufmerksamkeit und freut sich einfach darüber, wenn jemand Zeit mit ihr verbringt. Auch mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich gut. Betsy ist eine unkomplizierte Hündin, die nun endlich entdecken möchte, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann: ein warmes Körbchen, regelmäßige Spaziergänge, Menschen, die für sie da sind, und natürlich ganz viel Liebe. An Leine und Geschirr ist sie bereits gewöhnt und bringt damit schon eine gute Grundlage für gemeinsame Spaziergänge mit. Ein Besuch in der Hundeschule wäre für Betsy eine schöne Möglichkeit, gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen weiterzulernen, sich optimal aufeinander einzustimmen und als Team zusammenzuwachsen. Betsy hat noch so viel nachzuholen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für sie Menschen, die ihr die nötige Zeit geben, in ihrem neuen Leben anzukommen. Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld und Liebe zeigen, wie schön die Welt ist und die Lust darauf haben, gemeinsam mit ihr viele neue Dinge zu entdecken. Betsy ist gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU Heimtierausweis. Wir freuen uns über deine Anfrage über unser Adoptionsformular: Oder telefonisch unter . Herkunft: Slowakei.

About Betsy

What life with Betsy looks like

Betsy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Betsy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Betsy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Betsy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Betsy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Südkreta 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Betsy 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 Betsy 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 Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Betsy 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.
