How do I contact the shelter about FERDINAND?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenretter Ungarn handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw FERDINAND on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt FERDINAND if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenretter Ungarn 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 FERDINAND 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 FERDINAND 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 Pfotenretter Ungarn early rather than rehoming privately; they know FERDINAND 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.

FERDINAND

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Estimated birth date: September 2024 Brief info: friendly, people-oriented, attentive, cuddly, energetic, curious, playful The estimated September 2024-born FERDINAND was wandering around a company premises daily in September 2025. An employee began feeding the young, hungry male dog, who was in poor physical condition and had some scratches. After a few days, the man was able to catch the dog and took him home. He had the plan to find a home for FERDINAND. However, since the athletic FERDINAND could climb over fences, he escaped from the garden but returned to the company after one week. Thereafter, the man decided to take FERDINAND to the animal shelter. There, the handsome dogman is friendly, attentive, and people-oriented. He is very happy when he is taken out of the kennel for a small walk and enjoys the attention. Of course, he still needs to be taught all the important things of a dog's daily life, but with the right support, he will surely learn everything quickly. With the young female puppy Baby, the puppy also gets along well and plays very much (and wild) with her on the leash. So far, he has not been tested with other dogs, but this will be done soon. For the charming FERDINAND, we are looking for active people with dog experience who are willing to embark on the adventure of "puppy" – with everything that comes with it: playing, snuggling, toiling, but of course also a consistent and loving upbringing. The lively lad would also be thrilled to be a suitable companion for dog sports/mental stimulation. FERDINAND will move to a new home neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and with an EU pet passport. Would you like to offer this lovely young pup an appropriate and "colorful" life? Then we look forward to your message!. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Geschätztes Geburtsdatum: September 2024 Kurzinfo: freundlich, menschenbezogen, zugewandt, verschmust, bewegungsfreudig, neugierig, verspielt Der geschätzt im September 2024 geborene Ferdinand streunte im September 2025 täglich um ein Firmengelände herum. Ein Mitarbeiter begann, den jungen hungrigen Rüden, der in schlechter körperlicher Verfassung war und auch einige Schrammen hatte, zu füttern. Nach ein paar Tagen konnte der Mann den Hund einfangen und nahm ihn mit nach Hause. Er hatte den Plan, ein Zuhause für Ferdinand zu finden. Doch da der sportliche Ferdinand über Zäune klettern kann, entwischte er aus dem Garten, tauchte aber nach 1 Woche wieder bei der Firma auf. Daraufhin brachte der Mann Ferdinand dann doch lieber ins Tierheim. Dort zeigt sich der hübsche Hundemann freundlich, zugewandt und menschenbezogen. Er freut sich sehr, wenn er mal zu einem kleinen Spaziergang aus dem Zwinger geholt wird und genießt die Aufmerksamkeit. Selbstverständlich muss man ihm noch alle wichtigen Dinge eines Hundealltags beibringen, aber mit der richtigen Unterstützung wird er sicher bald alles schnell erlernen. Mit der Junghündin Baby kommt der Hundebub ebenfalls wunderbar aus und spielt sehr gerne (und wild) mit ihr im Auslauf. Mit anderen Hunden wurde er bislang noch nicht getestet – dies wird aber noch zeitnah nachgeholt. Für den bezaubernden Ferdinand suchen wir aktive Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die sich auf das Abenteuer “Junghund” einlassen möchten – mit allem was dazugehört: spielen, schmusen, toben aber natürlich auch eine konsequente und liebevolle Erziehung. Der aufgeweckte Bursche wäre bestimmt auch für eine/n passende/n Hundesport/-beschäftigung zu begeistern. Ferdinand zieht kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause. Möchten Sie diesem lieben Jungrüden ein artgerechtes und “buntes” Leben bieten. Dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Nachricht! Am besten können Sie hierfür gleich die Selbstauskunft nutzen (oder alternativ auch das Kontaktformular).

About FERDINAND

What life with FERDINAND looks like

FERDINAND is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenretter Ungarn in Pfotenretter.

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 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.
