Grinch

Male

Grinch turned up one day at a school in a small Hungarian village. He stayed there for days, and the children played with him, giving him some of their breakfast. Of course, it couldn’t continue like that, so Grinch was brought to our partner shelter. Grinch is super nice and friendly with all people and also with the other dogs, although he can sometimes be a bit stormy, which is completely normal for his age. His ears and probably also his tail were cropped. We are looking for an experienced home for Grinch with people who can show him the beautiful sides of dog life, preferably in a quiet location with a garden for playing. Contact:

DE·Show original

Grinch ist eines Tages bei einer Schule in einem kleinen ungarischen Dorf aufgetaucht. Er blieb dort tagelang. Die Kinder spielten mit ihm und sie gaben ihm von ihrem Frühstück etwas ab. So konnte es natürlich nicht weitergehen, so dass Grinch in unser Partnertierheim gebracht wurde. Grinch ist superlieb, und freundlich mit allen Menschen und auch mit den anderen Hunden, nur manchmal ist er etwas stürmisch, was aber in seinem Alter völlig normal ist. Seine Ohren und wahrscheinlich auch seine Rute wurden abgeschnitten. Wir suchen für Grinch ein erfahrenes Zuhause mit Menschen, die ihm die schönen Seiten eines Hundelebens zeigen, gerne ruhig gelegen mit Garten zum Toben. Kontakt: Melanie Kulle → WhatsApp oder

About Grinch

What life with Grinch looks like

Grinch is a small adult 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. 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 Grinch, answered.

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