Matti

Pug · Male

Matti was found alone in a village with his mother and siblings and brought to our Hungarian partner animal shelter. It is likely that the small dog family was abandoned there. Matti is still shy, reserved and sensitive. He will need to learn a lot to develop confidence and is now looking for patient people who can help him. Matti can travel with us at the earliest in October so his rabies vaccination is valid at border crossings. Contact: Ute Bachmann → WhatsApp or

DE·Show original

Matti wurde zusammen mit seiner Mutter und seinen Geschwistern in einem Dorf allein aufgefunden und in unser ungarisches Partnertierheim gebracht. Vermutlich wurde die kleine Hundefamilie dort ausgesetzt. Matti ist noch schüchtern, zurückhaltend und sensibel. Er wird noch viel lernen müssen, um Sicherheit zu entwickelt und sucht nun geduldige Menschen, die ihm dabei helfen möchten. Matti kann mit uns frühestens im Oktober ausreisen, damit seine Tollwutimpfung bei den Grenzübergängen seine Gültigkeit hat. Kontakt: Ute Bachmann → WhatsApp oder

About Matti

What life with Matti looks like

Matti is a small adult pug 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 Matti, answered.

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