Adopt Mertin

Mixed Breed · Male

Mertin was found tied to a tree in a forest about five years ago and came to our partner shelter, where it then found a home in Hungary very quickly. Unfortunately, the owner has passed away and has left Mertin behind. It seems that his master was not able to take good care of Mertin recently, as he was in poor condition. Mertin is like a big, friendly bear 🙂 He is friendly with all people. We wish for Mertin a loving family that would like to give him a permanent, loving home, so that he does not have to lose his home again. Preferably in a house with a garden. Contact:

Mertin ist bereits vor etwa fünf Jahren an einem Baum gekettet in einem Wald gefunden worden, kam in unser Partnertierheim und hat dann sehr schnell ein Zuhause in Ungarn gefunden. Leider ist der Besitzer gestorben und ließ Mertin nun zurück. Scheinbar konnte sein Herrchen sich in letzter Zeit nicht mehr gut um Mertin kümmern, da er in keinem guten Zustand war. Mertin ist wie ein großer, lieber Bär 🙂 Er ist mit allen Menschen freundlich. Wir wünschen uns für Mertin eine liebe Familie, die ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause auf Lebenszeit schenken möchten, denn nochmal soll er sein Zuhause nicht verlieren müssen. Gern in einem Haus mit Garten. Kontakt: Marion Sonnenberg → WhatsApp oder

About Mertin

What life with Mertin looks like

Mertin is a large adult mixed breed 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Mertin, answered.

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