Dió

Vizsla · Male · Adult · 4 years

Dió, a dog named after a walnut, is a very special dog with a lot of personality and a big heart. Once he has taken a person into his heart, he shows himself to be cheerful, playful, affectionate, and full of life. He especially loves water and is in his element when splashing around. He does not want to share his home with other dogs, but could get along with a suitable female dog. Since Dió chooses his people very carefully and builds trust at his own pace, a personal meeting in Füle is especially important. Whoever takes the time to get to know Dió and win his trust can expect a loyal, cheerful, and lovable companion by their side. Dió, whose name means "walnut," has not had much luck in his life so far. He was rescued from a neglected house where he had to live in a pigsty surrounded by trash. When his owner, the grandson of the family, moved away, Dió was left behind. He was no longer needed, and so Dió came to Füle. Despite this, Dió has retained his wonderful character. He is a large, imposing, and muscular male. He is incredibly intelligent and shows clearly that he was once intensively engaged with him. In the right hands, he can show what he has in him. Dió is self-confident and therefore needs people who give him security, clear boundaries, and confident leadership. He is not a beginner's dog, but is looking for an experienced person who is willing to work with him and finally give him the attention and appreciation he deserves. His behavior towards other dogs is different. His compatibility should therefore be tested in a calm and expert manner. Dió has gone through so much. Now his new life should finally begin. We wish him people who give him the chance to finally arrive. Location: Füle (Hungary).

19. 09. 2026 Mittlerweile haben wir Dió näher kennengelernt: Dió ist ein ganz besonderer Hund mit viel Persönlichkeit und einem großen Herz. Hat er einen Menschen erst einmal ins Herz geschlossen, zeigt er sich fröhlich, verspielt, verschmust und voller Lebensfreude. Besonders das Wasser hat es ihm angetan – beim Planschen ist Dió ganz in seinem Element. Mit anderen Rüden möchte Dió sein Zuhause nicht teilen; mit einer passenden Hündin könnte ein Zusammenleben möglich sein. Da Dió seine Menschen sehr bewusst auswählt und Vertrauen in seinem eigenen Tempo aufbaut, ist ein persönliches Kennenlernen in Füle besonders wichtig. Wer sich die Zeit nimmt, Dió kennenzulernen und sein Vertrauen zu gewinnen, darf einen loyalen, fröhlichen und liebenswerten Begleiter an seiner Seite erwarten. 13. 08. 2026 Dió – vom vergessenen Hund zum Herzenshund? Dió, dessen Name „Walnuss“ bedeutet, hat in seinem bisherigen Leben nicht viel Glück gehabt. Er wurde aus einem verwahrlosten Haus gerettet, wo er in einem Schweinestall, umgeben von Müll, leben musste. Als sein Besitzer – der Enkel der Familie – wegzog, blieb Dió einfach zurück. Er wurde nicht mehr gebraucht und so kam Dió nach Füle. Und trotzdem hat Dió sich seinen wunderbaren Charakter bewahrt. Er ist ein großer, imposanter und muskulöser Rüde. Er ist unglaublich intelligent und zeigt deutlich, dass sich früher einmal intensiv mit ihm beschäftigt wurde. In den richtigen Händen kann er zeigen, was in ihm steckt. Dió ist selbstbewusst und braucht deshalb Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit, klare Grenzen und souveräne Führung geben. Er ist kein Anfängerhund, sondern sucht einen erfahrenen Menschen, der bereit ist, mit ihm zu arbeiten und ihm endlich die Aufmerksamkeit und Wertschätzung zu schenken, die er verdient. Sein Verhalten gegenüber anderen Hunden ist unterschiedlich. Seine Verträglichkeit sollte daher fachkundig und in Ruhe getestet werden. Dió hat so viel durchgemacht. Jetzt soll endlich sein neues Leben beginnen. Wir wünschen uns für ihn Menschen, die ihm die Chance geben, endlich anzukommen. Aufenthaltsort: Füle (Ungarn).

About Dió

What life with Dió looks like

Dió is a large adult vizsla dog waiting at Vizsla in Not e.V. in Germany.

An 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dió, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dió?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Vizsla in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dió on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dió if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Vizsla in Not e.V. whether they will for Dió, what they require (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 Dió already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Vizsla in Not e.V. lists Dió as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Vizsla in Not e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Dió isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Vizsla in Not e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dió 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.
