How do I contact the shelter about Marco?

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

Can I adopt Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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 Marco 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.

Marco

Dachshund · Male · Adult · 7 years

Marco is a mixed-breed dachshund born in July 2019, who was surrendered by his owner to the animal shelter of our Hungarian partner organization. He will be neutered before adoption. Marco has a friendly, people-oriented nature and is a real good-natured dog. He happily explores his surroundings, showing curiosity and attentiveness. With his trusting gaze, he quickly wins hearts and enjoys being petted. He is moderately active, an intelligent and eager-to-learn little fellow. Marco would be a lovable family dog who would also feel comfortable in families with older, understanding children. He generally gets along well with his own kind, but some male dogs may be a matter of personal preference. Therefore, we recommend him as a second dog to a female. It is not known how he reacts to cats. He is looking for loving people who have enough free time to spend with him, preferably living in the suburbs or countryside, and already have some experience in dog ownership. The male has a shoulder height of 27 cm and weighs 7 kg.

HU·Show original

Marco ist ein im Juli 2019 geborener Dackel Mischlingsrüde, der von seinem Besitzer im Tierheim unserer ungarischen Partnerorganisation abgegeben wurde. Vor seiner Adoption wird er noch kastriert werden. Er besitzt ein menschenorientiertes, freundliches Wesen und ist ein richtiger gute Laune Hund. Fröhlich durchstreift er die Umgebung, zeigt sich neugierig und aufmerksam. Mit seinem treuherzigen Blick gewinnt er schnell alle Herzen und genießt es, gestreichelt zu werden. Er ist durchschnittlich aktiv, ein intelligentes und lernfreudiges Kerlchen. Marco wäre ein liebenswerter Familienhund, der sich auch in Familien mit älteren, verständigen Kindern wohlfühlen würde. Er versteht sich im Allgemeinen mit seinen Artgenossen gut, bei manchen Rüden entscheidet dennoch die Sympathie. Als Zweithund empfehlen wir ihn daher zu einer Hündin. Wie er auf Katzen reagiert, ist nicht bekannt. Er wünscht sich liebevolle Menschen, die über ausreichend Freizeit verfügen, um sich mit ihm zu beschäftigen, bevorzugt am Stadtrand oder ländlich wohnen und bereits etwas Erfahrung in der Hundehaltung haben. Der Rüde hat eine Schulterhöhe von 27 cm und wiegt 7 kg.

About Marco

What life with Marco looks like

Marco is a small adult dachshund dog waiting at Animal Care Hungary.

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 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.
