Frodo-2

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Country of origin: Hungary. The sweet Frodo arrived at the shelter on June 16, 2026, together with Metin, as confiscated animals from a high-risk neighborhood in Kecskemét. Both dogs had definitely not enjoyed the sunny side of life until now. Frodo had cherry eye, which has since been surgically treated; he was covered in ticks and had neither a microchip nor rabies vaccination—both of which are mandatory in Hungary. Metin suffered from scabies, a skin disease caused by tiny mites that burrow into the top layer of the skin, laying their eggs there. The body reacts to this infestation with intense itching. Metin was almost completely bare; he’d lost all his fur, and it’s easy to imagine the ordeal he’d been through. He too received treatment, and his coat is already growing back beautifully. We’d rather not even talk about the conditions under which they were kept. Unfortunately, we can no longer change their past, but their future is very close to our hearts, and we hope their journey ahead will be nothing but positive. Frodo and Metin do not have to be adopted together. Frodo is a loving, friendly, and kind four-legged friend who was initially a bit shy but is now gaining more and more trust and becoming increasingly curious and open every day. However, he needs some time—understandably so, given his sad past—and the shelter environment is also taking its toll on him. Despite this, he gratefully accepts any attention and affection, though everything is new to him. His greatest wish is to be loved, to receive plenty of care and security, to have a safe, soft sleeping place, and to find people who will love him unconditionally, accept him just as he is, and to whom he can give his heart. Frodo still has some learning to do, and his future owners should enjoy teaching him everything he doesn’t yet know. He’s already doing great on the leash, though there’s certainly room for improvement. Given the right time, he’d surely be thrilled by both mental and physical stimulation. Perhaps he’d even enjoy learning a few tricks—but above all, the most important thing is that dog and human have a wonderful time together and grow into a fantastic team. Frodo gets along well with other dogs and lives in a two-dog household with Kolett. (As of July 9, 2026) For our charming Frodo, with his delightful little bite, we’re looking for a patient, dog-loving home where he can set his own pace at first and where no demands are placed on him. We’re seeking caring people who enjoy spending lots of time outdoors in nature, appreciate the company of a four-legged friend, can provide Frodo with appropriate mental and physical stimulation, offer him guidance and security, spoil him with lots of cuddles, love, warmth, care, and give him 100% family integration—all things that have been denied to him until now and that should really be a matter of course. Frodo-2 will be able to travel to Switzerland in mid-August 2026 and will be placed through Ms. Edith Bruhin. Please do not send any questionnaires to animal-happyend. If you’re interested, feel free to contact Ms. Edith Bruhin or write to her via email:

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Der herzige Frodo, kam am 16.6.2026, zusammen mit Metin, als Beschlagnahmung aus einem Brennpunktviertel in Kecskemét, ins Menhely. Beide Hunde standen bisher definitiv nicht auf der Sonnenseite des Lebens. Frodo hatte ein Cherry-eye, welches mittlerweile operativ versorgt wurde, er war voll Zecken, sie hatten weder Chip noch Tollwutimpfung, welche in Ungarn obligatorisch sind. Metin hatte Krätze, eine Hautkrankheit, die durch winzige Krätzmilben ausgelöst wird. Die Milben graben sich in die oberste Hautschicht. Dort legen sie ihre Eier ab. Der Körper reagiert darauf mit starkem Juckreiz. Metin war fast nackt, hatte kein Fell mehr, man kann sich leicht vorstellen, was für einen Leidensweg er hinter sich hat. Auch er wurde behandelt und sein Fell wächst bereits schön nach. Über die Haltungsbedingungen möchten wir gar nicht sprechen. Ihre Vergangenheit können wir leider nicht mehr ändern, aber ihre Zukunft liegt uns sehr am Herzen und ihr weiterer Lebensweg soll nur noch positiv sein. Frodo und Metin müssen nicht zusammen vermittelt werden. Frodo ist ein lieber, freundlicher und netter Vierbeiner, welcher anfangs etwas schüchtern war, aber nun immer mehr Zutrauen fasst und täglich neugieriger und aufgeschlossener wird. Aber er braucht etwas Zeit, was mit seiner traurigen Vergangenheit nur zu verständlich ist., dazu kommt, dass ihm die Tierheimsituation etwas zu schaffen macht. Trotzdem nimmt er dankbar jede Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung an, jedoch ist dies alles neu für ihn. Sein grösster Wunsch ist es, geliebt zu werden, viel Fürsorge und Geborgenheit zu bekommen, einen sicheren, weichen Schlafplatz zu haben, Menschen, welche ihn uneingeschränkt lieben, ihn so akzeptieren wie er ist und denen er sein Herz schenken darf. Auch Frodo muss noch etwas die Schulbank drücken und seine Menschen sollten Freude daran haben, im alles notwendige beizubringen, was er noch nicht kennt. Das an der Leine laufen macht er schon ganz prima, ist aber sicherlich noch ausbaufähig. Über geistige wie körperliche Auslastung zu gegebener Zeit, würde er sich sicherlich begeistern lassen. Vielleicht macht es ihm auch Spass noch einige Tricks zu lernen, Hauptsache ist aber, Hund und Menschen haben eine gute Zeit zusammen und wachsen zu einem tollen Team zusammen. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht sich Frodo und lebt mit Kolett in einer 2-er WG. (Stand 9.7.2026) Für unseren bezaubernden Frodo, mit dem charmanten Vorbiss, suchen wir ein geduldiges und hundebegeistertes Zuhause, wo er am Anfang sein Tempo selber bestimmen kann und keine Anforderungen an ihn gestellt werden. Bei lieben Menschen, welche gerne und viel in der Natur unterwegs sind, welche die Gesellschaft eines Vierbeiners schätzen, Frodo hundegerecht auslasten, ihm Führung und Sicherheit geben, ihn verwöhnen mit vielen Streicheleinheiten, Liebe, Geborgenheit, Fürsorge und ihm 100% Familienanschluss bieten. Alles was ihm bisher verwehrt wurde und eigentlich selbstverständlich sein sollte. Frodo-2 darf Mitte August 2026 in die Schweiz reisen und wird über Frau Edith Bruhin vermittelt: Bitte keinen Fragebogen an animal-happyend senden. Bei Interesse dürfen Sie sich gerne an Frau Edith Bruhin wenden. oder per E-Mail:

About Frodo-2

What life with Frodo-2 looks like

Frodo-2 is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Frodo-2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Frodo-2?
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 Frodo-2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Frodo-2 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 Frodo-2 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 Frodo-2 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 Frodo-2 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.
