Adopt Kent

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Kent is a neutered mixed breed dog born in December 2016, who was seized together with 13 other dogs because the animals had to live under terrible conditions. He was taken in by the animal shelter of our Hungarian partner organization. Kent has never experienced what it means to be loved and cared for. He lived a sad life in a backyard, seeing people only when some food was thrown and water was given, and otherwise lived completely isolated with his companions. Because of this, he appears very shy and fearful, cannot be touched at the moment, and tries to escape whenever someone approaches him. If he sees no other way out, he bites. His re-socialization and training have already begun, but it will take a long time before he will be ready for adoption. Please indicate "for use with Kent" when using. The dog has a shoulder height of 52 cm and weighs approximately 22 kg.

Kent ist ein im Dezember 2016 geborener, kastrierter Mischlingsrüde, der gemeinsam mit 13 weiteren Hunden beschlagnahmt wurde, da die Tiere unter schrecklichen Bedingungen leben mussten. Er wurde im Tierheim unserer ungarischen Partnerorganisation aufgenommen. Kent durfte niemals erleben, was es bedeutet geliebt und umsorgt zu werden. Er fristete sein trauriges Leben in einem Hinterhof, bekam Menschen nur dann zu Gesicht, wenn ein wenig Futter hingeworfen und Wasser gegeben wurde und hauste ansonsten mit seinen Artgenossen völlig abgeschieden. Aus diesem Grund präsentiert er sich sehr scheu und ängstlich, lässt sich derzeit nicht berühren und versucht zu flüchten, sobald man sich ihm nähert. Sieht er keinen anderen Ausweg mehr, schnappt er.Seine Resozialisierung und Training mit ihm wurde begonnen, doch es wird längere Zeit dauern, bis er für eine Adoption bereit sein wird. Bitte geben Sie bei Verwendungszweck "Kent" an. Der Rüde hat eine Schulterhöhe von 52 cm und wiegt ca. 22 kg. Bankháza 1272340 Kiskunlacháza, ​

About Kent

What life with Kent looks like

Kent is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Care Hungary.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇭🇺Adopting from Hungary

Hungarian shelters operate at high capacity given the country's stray population. Animals leave sterilized, chipped, and with a passport. Many shelters coordinate transport to Germany, Austria, and the Nordics.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kent, answered.

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