How do I contact the shelter about Gotfrid?

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

Can I adopt Gotfrid 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 Gotfrid 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 Gotfrid 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 Gotfrid 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.

Gotfrid

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Country of origin: Hungary. The sweet Gotfrid was found wandering aimlessly and without an owner on July 2, 2026, in Kecskemét and reported to the shelter. Gotfrid was neither chipped nor had anyone reported him missing—yet again, an incomprehensible situation for us. His quarantine period is over, and Gotfrid is ready for a new, exciting life as a beloved family dog. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that he’ll soon get his ticket to happiness. Like all other shelter residents, he deserves to be surrounded by people rather than spending his days locked up in a kennel outside. Gotfrid is a loving, playful, curious, and friendly puppy—though sometimes shy in new situations. He’s a little gem who now needs to be lovingly shaped and guided, because Gotfrid knows nothing yet about the basics of dog life or the everyday routines of living. He’s still very much a greenhorn, but he’s eager to learn everything. Gotfrid has all the qualities needed to become a wonderful and loyal companion who will stick by his people through thick and thin. He craves lots of closeness and affection; he also thoroughly enjoys petting and human attention—there’s plenty of catching up to do in this area! Of course, his new two-legged companions should be aware that raising a young dog is both work-intensive and time-consuming—but it also brings immense fun and joy. Gotfrid gets along well with his fellow dogs, lives in a young-dog group, and loves playing and romping around with his canine friends. We’re looking for dog-loving, caring people who will warmly welcome our charming Gotfrid into their hearts. His daily routine should include varied and exciting walks, species-appropriate activities and mental stimulation (appropriate for his age), plenty of play and fun, lots of cuddling and snuggling, sufficient rest periods, and many wonderful shared experiences. Attending a puppy or young-dog school would certainly bring him great joy. In return, Gotfrid will bring lots of love and happiness to his new home. Who will discover the big, wide world together with Gotfrid? Currently, Gotfrid is still too young for neutering; his new owners will need to arrange this procedure when he’s old enough. His final height is estimated at 40–50 cm, and his final weight at 12–18 kg. As of July 30, 2026, Gotfrid measures 32 cm and weighs 8.2 kg. Gotfrid can travel from around early to mid-September 2026, once he’s found a permanent home or a foster placement.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Der herzige Gotfrid wurde am 2.7.2026 herrenlos umherirrend in Kecskemét gefunden und dem Menhely gemeldet. Gotfrid war weder gechipt, noch hat ihn jemand als vermisst gemeldet. Wie immer unverständlich für uns. Seine Quarantänezeit ist vorbei und Gotfrid ist bereit, auf ein neues, abwechslungsreiches Leben als geliebter Familienhund. Wir drücken ihm fest die Daumen, dass er bald sein Ticket ins Glück lösen darf. Er sollte, wie alle anderen Tierheimbewohner im Kreise seiner Menschen sein und nicht draussen, eingesperrt in einem Zwinger. Gotfrid ist ein liebes, verspieltes, neugieriges und nettes Hundekind, manchmal in neuen Situationen auch schüchtern. Ein kleines Juwel, welches nun liebevoll geformt werden muss, denn Gotfrid kennt noch nichts vom Hundeeinmaleins und von den alltäglichen Dingen des Lebens. Er ist noch ganz grün hinter den Ohren, jedoch gewillt, alles zu lernen. Gotfrid bringt alle Voraussetzungen mit, ein toller und loyaler Gefährte zu werden, welcher mit seinen Menschen durch dick und dünn gehen wird. Er braucht viel Nähe und Liebe, ebenso geniesst er Streicheleinheiten und menschliche Zuneigung, da hat er viel Nachholbedarf. Natürlich sollten sich seine neuen Zweibeiner im Klaren sein, dass ein junger Hund arbeits-und zeitintensiv ist, aber auch jede Menge Spass und Freude mit sich bringt. Mit seine Artgenossen versteht sich Gotfrid gut, lebt in einer Junghundegruppe und spielt und tobt gerne mit seinen Hundefreunden. Für unseren bezaubernden Gotfrid suchen wir hundebegeisterte und liebe Menschen, welche ihn fest in ihre Herzen schliessen. Auf dem täglichen Programm sollte stehen: abwechslungsreiche und spannende Spaziergänge, artgerechte Beschäftigung und Auslastung (dem Alter entsprechend), Spiel, Spass, viel schmusen und knuddeln, genügend Ruhephasen und viele tolle gemeinsame Erlebnisse. Der Besuch einer Welpen/Junghundeschule würde ihm bestimmt viel Vergnügen bereiten. Im Gegenzug bringt Gotfrid viel Liebe und Freude mit in sein neues Daheim. Wer entdeckt mit Gotfrid die grosse, weite Welt? Aktuell ist Gotfrid noch zu jung für eine Kastration, die muss von seinen neuen Menschen nachgeholt werden, wenn er alt genug ist. Endgrösse von 40-50cm und Endgewicht von 12-18kg sind nur geschätzt. Am 30.7.2026 ist Gotfrid 32cm und 8,2kg Gotfrid kann ab ca. Anfang/Mitte September 2026 reisen, wenn er ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle gefunden hat.

About Gotfrid

What life with Gotfrid looks like

Gotfrid is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭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.
