How do I contact the shelter about Betyar-9?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Happyend handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Betyar-9 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Betyar-9 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Happyend 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 Betyar-9 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 Betyar-9 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 Animal Happyend early rather than rehoming privately; they know Betyar-9 and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Betyar-9

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Native Country: Hungary And the next senior dog, Betyar, who found himself in the shelter. Betyar was found homeless in the community of Pilis on November 14, 2025, and brought to the animal shelter in Kecskemét. During the microchip check, they struck gold, the owners were informed, but they never came to the shelter to take Betyar home, leaving him to wait in vain. Simply sad… But perhaps it’s better for Betyar, because he probably didn’t mean much to them, otherwise, they wouldn’t have left him so cowardly. We cross our fingers for Betyar that he will soon find people who take him seriously and give him a dignified old age. Betyar likely only lived as a farm dog and didn’t get to know much. His new people should therefore be ready to introduce him gradually to the everyday things of life, step by step, as he is actually curious about the world outside. It’s usually the case with older masters that the demands on physical activities are not as high, but the affectionate attention is enjoyed even more, and he has a lot of catching up to do and doesn’t want to miss cuddles ever again. Old, male, large, and with dark fur, all points that make it not easy to find Betyar a loving home quickly. People are needed who have a big heart for older dogs and see what a jackpot Betyar is, because he can really score with the following adjectives: friendly, beautiful, lovable, modest, optimistic, open, grateful, loyal, and with his heart in the right place. Betyar gets along well with his fellow animals and is currently (December 30, 2025) integrated into a mixed pack. We urgently seek enthusiastic dog lovers who also give a senior dog a chance. Betyar shouldn’t have to live in a kennel but should be able to call a soft dog bed his own, get lots of cuddles and snuggles, take beautiful walks through the woods and fields, and simply enjoy his life, knowing that he is loved and cared for, probably for the first time in his life. Whose heart can Betyar give? Betyar will not be neutered due to his age. Medical Update: February 23, 2026: Unfortunately, Betyar is positive for heartworm, and the slow kill therapy has begun. Betyar is ready for travel.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Und der nächste Hundesenior, den es ins Menhely verschlagen hat. Betyar wurde am 14.11.2025 in der Gemeinde Pilis herrenlos aufgefunden und ins Tierheim nach Kecskemét gebracht. Bei der Chipkontrolle wurde man sogar fündig, die Besitzer wurden informiert, doch sie kamen nie ins Menhely, um Betyar nach Hause zu holen, er wartete vergebens. Einfach nur traurig. Aber für Betyar vielleicht besser, denn viel kann er ihnen nicht bedeutet haben, sonst hätten sie ihn nicht so feige im Stich gelassen. Wir drücken Betyar fest die Daumen, dass er bald Menschen findet, die es ernst mit ihm meinen und ihm einen würdigen Lebensabend schenken. Betyar hat vermutlich nur als Hofhund gelebt und dadurch nicht viel kennenlernen dürfen. Seine neuen Menschen sollten daher bereit sein, ihn geduldig und einfühlsam an die alltäglichen Dinge des Lebens heranzuführen, Schritt für Schritt, wobei er durchaus neugierig auf das Leben da draussen ist. Bei den älteren Herrschaften ist es meistens so, dass die Ansprüche an körperliche Aktivitäten nicht mehr so hoch sind, die liebevollen Zuwendungen dafür umso mehr genossen werden, und da hat Betyar viel Nachholbedarf und möchte Streicheleinheiten nie mehr missen. Alt, männlich, gross und mit dunklem Fell, das sind alles Punkte, die es nicht ganz einfach machen, für Betyar schnell ein liebevolles Zuhause zu finden. Da sind Menschen gefragt, die ein grosses Herz für ältere Hunde haben und sehen, was für ein Jackpot Betyar ist, denn mit folgenden Adjektiven kann er wirklich punkten: freundlich, hübsch, liebenswert, bescheiden, optimistisch, aufgeschlossen, dankbar, treu und das Herz am rechten Fleck. Mit seinen Artgenossen kommt Betyar soweit gut klar und wird aktuell in ein gemischtes Rudel integriert. Wir suchen für unseren bezaubernden Betyar dringend begeisterte Hundefreunde, die auch einem Hundesenior eine Chance geben. Betyar sollte nicht in einem Zwinger leben müssen, sondern ein weiches Körbchen sein Eigen nennen, viel kuscheln und knuddeln, schöne Spaziergänge durch Wald und Flur unternehmen und einfach sein Leben geniessen dürfen, im Wissen, dass er geliebt und umsorgt wird, vermutlich zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben. Betyar wird aufgrund seines Alters nicht mehr kastriert. 20.07.2026: An den Mentortagen darf Betyar seinen Zwinger verlassen und mit seinen Mentoren spazieren gehen. Er ist ein sehr lieber, freundlicher und verschmuster Hund, dabei erstaunlich jugendlich: fröhlich und voller Freude erkundet er seine Umgebung. An der Leine läuft er sehr schön, ohne zu ziehen, und bittet man ihn stehen zu bleiben, macht er das zuverlässig. Seine Mentorin beschreibt ihn als gehorsam und aufmerksam. Für jede Fürsorge und jede Streicheleinheit zeigt er sich dankbar. Seinen Zwinger teilt er mit einem Hundekameraden, mit dem er gemeinsam zu den Spaziergängen geht und geduldig für Streicheleinheiten ansteht. Betyar ist reisefertig.

About Betyar-9

What life with Betyar-9 looks like

Betyar-9 is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.
