How do I contact the shelter about Dragan?

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 Dragan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dragan 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 Dragan 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 Dragan 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 Dragan and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Dragan

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Origin Country: Hungary The charming dog senior Dragan arrived in Kecskemét from the village of Pilis at our area on November 10, 2025, at the animal shelter Menhely. His owner has passed away, and there was no one in the family or among his relatives who wanted or could offer Dragan a new home. Unfortunately, his path led him to the shelter in his old age. Dragan the poor wet-nosed senior probably had other plans for his twilight years. We hope that Menhely is only a short stop for Dragan and that he will soon be able to solve his ticket to a new home and enjoy a worthy twilight. Our fingers are crossed. Old, male, black, and large, all adjectives that make it not entirely easy for Dragan to find a loving home quickly. People are needed who have a big heart for old dogs and see what a great dog Dragan is, because with the following adjectives, he can really make a point: open, friendly, beautiful, lovable, modest, grateful, loyal, and with his heart in the right place. Dragan has no big demands, although he is still quite lively and adventurous, but he should be allowed to spend his twilight years with dignity and loved, perhaps even for the first time in his life, feeling that he is worth something and that there are people who care about him and take care of and protect him. Dragan gets along well with his fellow animals. For our dearest Dragan, we are urgently seeking a loving home (or a foster home) where he can go on beautiful walks, where he is not exposed to the cold and heat, where he has a soft bed to rest, where he no longer has to suffer from hunger and thirst, where he is spoiled with lots of cuddles, where he receives a lot of love and care, and where he is lovingly and forever accepted into a family. Dragan still wants to experience and discover the big world out there. Whom can Dragan give his heart to? On December 17, 2025, a voluntary, Hungarian helper writes: "Dragan arrived in the care of the animal shelter in October 2025. In December, he had the opportunity to go for a walk with his mentor on a mentor day. His mentor said that Dragan is a very loving and cheerful dog. A real explorer who sniffed everything carefully. He enjoyed every moment of the walk, the new scents, and the interesting impressions. During the first walk, Dragan and his mentor became good friends. He gladly accepted cuddles and pampering. Dragan also likes to play ball. He lives with a dog buddy in a run. Together they also went for walks. Dragan is accustomed to an already existing dog. He is well led on a leash." Dragan is no longer neutered due to his age. Dragan is travel-ready. Dragan is sponsored by Veronika Posch and Thomas Michel. Many thanks!. This animal was abandoned.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Der bezaubernde Hundesenior Dragan kam am 10.11.2025 aus der Ortschaft Pilis nach Kecskemét ins Menhely. Sein Besitzer ist verstorben, und aus der Familie und Verwandtschaft gab es niemanden, der Dragan ein neues Zuhause schenken wollte oder konnte. So führte ihn sein Weg auf seine alten Tage leider noch ins Tierheim. Dragan, der arme Tropf, hat sich seinen Lebensabend bestimmt anders vorgestellt. Wir hoffen, dass das Menhely für ihn nur eine kurze Zwischenstation ist und er bald sein Ticket in ein neues Zuhause lösen und einen würdigen Lebensabend geniessen darf. Unsere Daumen sind fest gedrückt. Alt, männlich, schwarz und gross, alles Merkmale, die es nicht ganz einfach machen, für Dragan schnell ein liebevolles Zuhause zu finden. Da sind Menschen gefragt, die ein ganz grosses Herz für alte Hunde haben und sehen, was für ein toller Hund Dragan ist, denn mit folgenden Adjektiven kann er wirklich punkten: aufgeschlossen, freundlich, hübsch, liebenswert, bescheiden, dankbar, treu und das Herz am richtigen Fleck. Dragan hat keine grossen Ansprüche, obwohl er noch recht munter und unternehmungslustig ist. Er sollte seinen Lebensabend in Würde und geliebt verbringen dürfen und vielleicht zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben spüren, dass er etwas wert ist und es Menschen gibt, denen er etwas bedeutet und die ihn umsorgen und beschützen. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht sich Dragan gut. Für unseren allerliebsten Dragan suchen wir ganz dringend ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, wo man mit ihm schöne Spaziergänge unternimmt, wo er weder Kälte noch Hitze ausgesetzt ist, wo er ein weiches Bettchen zum Ausruhen hat, nie mehr Hunger und Durst leiden muss, mit vielen Streicheleinheiten verwöhnt wird, viel Liebe und Fürsorge bekommt und für immer in der Familie aufgenommen wird. Dragan möchte noch etwas erleben und die grosse Welt da draussen entdecken. Update vom 20.07.2026: An den Mentortagen erleben wir Dragan auf dem Spielplatz und auf Spaziergängen, und schon beim ersten Mal wird er mit seinem Mentor rasch zum Freund. Er ist ein richtiger Entdecker, schnuppert alles genau ab und geniesst jeden Moment draussen, die neuen Gerüche und Eindrücke. Für sein Alter ist er erstaunlich aktiv, munter und motiviert im Kontakt mit Menschen, oft läuft er mit einem Ball im Maul über den Platz und bittet zugleich um Aufmerksamkeit und Beschäftigung. Streicheleinheiten und Zuwendung nimmt er mit Freude an, auch Kinder mag er. An der Leine lässt er sich gut führen. Er teilt sich den Zwinger mit einem Hundekumpel. Dragan wird aufgrund seines Alters nicht mehr kastriert. Dragan ist reisefertig. Dragan erhält eine Patenschaft von Veronika Posch und Thomas Michel. Herzlichen Dank!

About Dragan

What life with Dragan looks like

Dragan 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.
