Boris

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

DSH, männlich, kastriertAlter: geb. ca. 1.4. 2017 Video: Borisz1, Borisz2 Update 20.Oktober: Boris zeigt sich im Tierheim als sehr lieber und menschenbezogener Hund. Er hätte es so sehr verdient, endlich ein richtiges Zuhause zu finden. Er war Modell für die Lidl-Aktion "Max & Mila" und es sind tolle Fotos entstanden. Diese wurden uns von Lidl Deutschland zur Verfügung gestellt. Er ist auch auf der Startseite (unter dem Notfell) im Video von Lidl zu sehen. Boris stammt aus Ungarn und ist seit dem 6.9. im Dillenburger Tierheim. Hier ist der Text und die Infos aus Ungarn / von TiN: Boris wurde im Jahr 2021 bei einer Roma Familie beschlagnahmt, da er immer wieder im Dorf herumgelaufen ist und es viel Ärger gab. Die Polizei holte ihn ab und brachte ihn in die Tötungsstation von Dombovar. Seit dieser Zeit sitzt der Rüde dort und wartet auf ein neues Zuhause, also bereits 5 Jahre! Boris ist sehr menschenfreundlich und nett, er kann auch gut an der Leine laufen. Er könnte auch zu standhaften Kindern oder älteren Menschen die sich mit Hunden dieser Rasse auskennen. Die Hälfte seines Lebens verbracht er jetzt schon in der Station und seine Schnauze wurde auch schon grauer. Gerne kann er zu einer netten Hündin vermittelt werden. Wie er mit Rüden klar kommt ist nicht bekannt. Aber auch er wurde inzwischen ruhiger und zieht mehr die Ruhe als Streit vor. Schön wäre es, wenn er seine restlichen Jahre doch noch in liebevoller Obhut verbringen dürfte. Fotos oben: Lidl Deutschland

About Boris

What life with Boris looks like

Boris is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Dillenburg in Dillenburg.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Boris, answered.

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