Giorgo

Dachshund · Male

George simply walked into a house and then came to our Hungarian partner animal shelter. He had no chip, although he was in good condition. George looks like a big dachshund, is very sweet, friendly and lively. He can already walk on a leash, also gets along very well with the other dogs at the shelter and loves to play with them.

Giorgo ist einfach in ein Haus gelaufen und kam dann in unser ungarisches Partnertierheim. Er hatte keinen Chip, obwohl in einem guten Zustand war. Giorgo sieht wie ein großer Dackel aus, ist sehr lieb, freundlich und temperamentvoll. Er kann bereits an der Leine laufen, kommt auch mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheim sehr gut aus und tobt sehr gerne mit ihnen.

About Giorgo

What life with Giorgo looks like

Giorgo is a large adult dachshund dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

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. 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 Giorgo, answered.

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