Bill

Dachshund · Male

Little Bill was caught with several dogs in a village in Hungary and brought to our partner animal shelter. He probably lived on a chain before since he knows the leash but not walking on it. In the area where he was found, dogs either live on the street or on a chain. Therefore Bill has not had a nice life so far, but he is still very friendly, sweet and calm. We are looking for loving people who want to give him a safe home, preferably in the countryside with a garden.

DE·Show original

Der kleine Bill wurde mit mehreren Hunden in einem Dorf in Ungarn eingefangen und in unser Partnertierheim gebracht. Vermutlich lebte er bisher an einer Kette, da er die Leine kennt, jedoch nicht das Gassi gehen. In der Gegend, in der er gefunden wurde, leben die Hunde entweder auf der Straße oder an der Kette. Demnach hat Bill bislang kein schönes Leben führen dürfen, aber er ist trotzdem sehr freundlich, lieb und ruhig. Wir suchen für Bill liebe Menschen, die ihm ein sicheres Zuhause geben möchten, gerne auf dem Land mit Garten. Kontakt: Anna Bachmann → WhatsApp oder

About Bill

What life with Bill looks like

Bill is a small adult dachshund dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bill, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bill?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bill on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bill if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Herz für Ungarnhunde 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 Bill 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 Bill 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 Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bill 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.
