Adopt Dennis B

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

- waits at the animal shelter in Hungary - Dennis has been waiting for so long for his luck Dennis was born in September 2023, is about 53 cm tall and weighs around 18 kg. Based on his appearance, he may have some Mudi breed in him. He came into our care at just three months old. He was found alone near the small village of Furta – abandoned, left behind and overlooked. A kind woman initially took him in and eventually brought him to us. We suspect that he was the last puppy from an unwanted litter. The others were likely distributed or sold – Dennis, however, was left behind and simply forgotten. Since then, he has lived at the animal shelter. Here he grew up and spent his entire childhood. Out of the small, insecure puppy, he has become a lively, cheerful, and very loving dog. He plays with full energy, loves to run, jumps joyfully through the grass, and especially enjoys water. He gets along very well with other dogs. Dennis is a young dog full of initiative, joie de vivre, and hope. He desires nothing more than finally being seen and settling into his own home – with people who love his energy and share laughing, playing, and discovering the world with him. Dennis has been waiting for such a long time now and has received no inquiries yet. Perhaps because he is black. Perhaps because he is no longer a little puppy. All he wishes for is to be loved, belong, and finally become part of a family. Where are his people? A heartworm test conducted in May 2024 was negative. A Caniv-4D test will be carried out before travel arrangements are made. We are looking for people who seek a faithful, loyal companion to explore the world with and walk side by side through life. We are happy to answer further questions.

- wartet im Tierheim in Ungarn - Dennis wartet schon so lange auf sein Glück Dennis ist im September 2023 geboren, etwa 53 cm groß und wiegt rund 18 kg. Nach seinem Erscheinungsbild könnte in ihm ein Mudi-Anteil stecken.Er kam mit gerade einmal drei Monaten in unsere Obhut. Gefunden wurde er allein in der Nähe des kleinen Dorfs Furta – ausgesetzt, zurückgelassen und übersehen. Eine gutherzige Frau nahm ihn zunächst auf und brachte ihn schließlich zu uns. Wir vermuten, dass er der letzte Welpe eines ungewollten Wurfs war. Die anderen wurden vermutlich verteilt oder verkauft – Dennis jedoch blieb zurück und wurde einfach vergessen.Seitdem lebt er im Tierheim. Hier ist er aufgewachsen und hat seine gesamte Kindheit verbracht. Aus dem kleinen, unsicheren Welpen ist ein lebhafter, fröhlicher und sehr liebevoller Hund geworden. Er spielt voller Energie, liebt es zu rennen, springt ausgelassen durch das Gras und genießt besonders das Wasser. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich sehr gut.Dennis ist ein junger Hund voller Tatendrang, Lebensfreude und Hoffnung. Er wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher, als endlich gesehen zu werden und in einem eigenen Zuhause anzukommen – bei Menschen, die seine Energie lieben und mit ihm gemeinsam lachen, spielen und die Welt entdecken.Dennis wartet nun schon so lange und hatte bisher nicht eine einzige Anfrage. Vielleicht, weil er schwarz ist. Vielleicht, weil er kein kleiner Welpe mehr ist. Dabei wünscht er sich doch nur eines: geliebt zu werden, dazuzugehören und endlich Teil einer Familie zu sein.Wo sind seine Menschen? Ein im Mai 2024 durchgeführter Herzwurmtest war negativ. Ein Caniv-4D-Test wird vor Ausreise noch durchgeführt.Wir suchen Menschen, die einen treuen, loyalen Begleiter suchen, der gemeinsam mit ihnen die Welt entdeckt und Seite an Seite durchs Leben geht.Gerne beantworten wir weitere Fragen.

About Dennis B

What life with Dennis B looks like

Dennis B is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

An young 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 Dennis B, answered.

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