Franko

German Shepherd · Male

Franko kam mit zwei kleinen Hündinnen aus schlechter Haltung in unser Tierheim in Siofok (Ungarn). Er war bis auf die Knochen abgemagert und lebte dort an der Kette. Er ist ein zurückhaltender und unsicherer Rüde. Vermutlich hat er in seinem Leben noch nicht viel erleben können. Alles was Franko ist einfach Zeit, um zu lernen, dass das Leben auch viele positive Dinge für ihn bereit hält. Franko sucht ein Zuhause bei einer erfahrenen Familie, die über genug Zeit und Geduld verfügt, sich mit ihm und seiner Schüchternheit zu beschäftigen.

About Franko

What life with Franko looks like

Franko is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Hundehilfe Marika e.V. in Germany.

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. 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 Franko, answered.

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