Moana

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Moana and her mother Mahima arrived at the shelter on May 28, 2026, along with their five siblings Nani, Mavis, Megara, Shenzi, and Jane. They were found in Méntelek, a town near Kecskemét, Hungary. It seems someone abandoned an entire dog family... out of sight, out of mind, left to their fate. The fact that none of the dogs had microchips is not surprising. It's just sad and it never ends... Unfortunately, the dogs were so fearful they had to be caught in live traps. We can only imagine how they must have lived before and what happened to them. Their past cannot be changed, but their future is very important to us. We are crossing our fingers that all family members will get a second chance soon and finally become happy. They do not necessarily need to be adopted together. Despite all the hardship, the siblings were lucky to grow up with their mother. Mahima was a caring and loving dog mom. The siblings are shy, insecure, fearful, and reserved, which is understandable given their history, and they must first learn that there are also kind and good people. They are being worked with, but they are still at the beginning of their journey, and the noisy and stressful shelter situation does not help. They all need patience and understanding to get closer to us two-legged creatures and trust us. Small progress can be seen. In their hearts, they are loving four-legged friends who long for love, acceptance, peace, and having their own people by their side who give them security and guidance. The puppies get along well with their fellow dogs. An experienced and calm second dog would be a great support for the siblings so that they can continue step by step into a new life. A life where they experience love, care, affection, and security and leave their past behind. Of course, they are still green behind the ears and when they have arrived in peace, they must go to school and learn everything from dog multiplication tables. Their humans should enjoy further promoting and challenging them at the pace they set. A garden and a quiet, rural environment would be important for them. For our very dear siblings, we are looking for an empathetic, patient, experienced, and loving home where one can also accept setbacks but always stands by their side and gives them love, security, care, safety, and understanding to give them a new, happy, and dog-friendly life. Nice people who do not initially have expectations of the six, but let them arrive and determine their own pace. We are sure that the sextet will soon make great progress if they are given the chance in their own home. It will be worth it and what could be more beautiful and valuable than a dog's trust and loyalty? Who believes in the six brave puppies and shows them how beautiful life can be? Currently, the siblings are still too young for neutering, which must be done by their new owners when they are old enough. Estimated final size of 46-56cm and weight of 15-22kg. Moana is 38cm and 7.5kg as of June 23, 2026. The siblings can travel from around the beginning of August 2026 if they have found a home or foster family.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Die bezaubernde Moana kam am 28.5.2026, zusammen mit ihrer Mama Mahima ins Menhely. Einen Tag zuvor bereits ihre fünf Geschwister Nani, Mavis, Megara, Shenzi und Jane. Gefunden wurden sie in Méntelek, einer Gemeinde neben Kecskemét. Da hat sich wohl jemand feige einer ganze Hundefamilie entledigt…. Aus den Augen, aus dem Sinn, ihrem Schicksal überlassen. Dass keiner der Hunde einen Chip hatte, muss eigentlich nicht extra erwähnt werden. Es ist einfach nur traurig und es nimmt kein Ende..... Leider waren die Hunde so ängstlich, dass sie mit der Lebendfalle eingefangen werden mussten. Wir möchten uns nicht vorstellen, wie sie bisher leben mussten und was ihnen wiederfahren ist. Ihre Vergangenheit können wir leider nicht mehr ändern, aber ihre Zukunft liegt uns sehr am Herzen. Wir drücken der Hundefamilie fest die Daumen, dass bald alle Familienmitglieder ihre 2. Chance bekommen und endlich glücklich werden dürfen. Sie müssen natürlich nicht zusammen vermittelt werden. Trotz allem Elend, hatten die Geschwister Glück und konnten an der Seite ihrer Mama aufwachsen. Mahima war eine fürsorgliche und liebevolle Hundemama. Die Geschwister sind von der schüchternen, unsicheren, ängstlichen und zurückhaltenden Sorte, was bei ihrer Geschichte auch verständlich ist und müssen erst lernen, dass es auch liebe und gute Menschen gibt. Es wird mit ihnen gearbeitet, doch sie stehen noch am Anfang ihre Reise und die lärmige und stressige Tierheimsituation ist auch nicht hilfreich. Sie alle benötigen Geduld und Verständnis, um sich weiter auf uns Zweibeiner einzulassen und uns zu vertrauen, kleine Fortschritte sind zu sehen. Im Herzen sind sie liebe Vierbeiner, welche sich nichts sehnlicher wünschen, als geliebt zu werden, anzukommen, Ruhe zu finden und eigene Menschen an ihrer Seite zu wissen, welche ihnen Sicherheit und Führung geben. Die Hundekinder verstehen sich gut mit ihren Artgenossen. Ein erfahrener und gelassener Zweithund wäre eine grosse Unterstützung für die Geschwister, damit sie weiter Schritt für Schritt in ein neues Leben gehen dürfen. In ein Leben wo sie Liebe, Fürsorge, Zuwendung und Geborgenheit erfahren dürfen und die Vergangenheit hinter sich lassen können. Natürlich sind sie noch ganz grün hinter den Ohren und müssen, wenn sie mal in Ruhe angekommen sind, die Schulbank drücken und noch alles vom Hundeeinmaleins lernen. Ihre Menschen sollten Freude daran haben, sie zu weiter zu fördern und zu fordern, in dem Tempo, welches sie vorgeben. Ein Garten und eine ruhige, ländliche Umgebung wäre wichtig für sie. Für unsere allerliebsten Geschwister suchen wir ein einfühlsames, geduldiges, erfahrenes und liebevolles Zuhause, wo man auch mal einen Rückschritt in Kauf nimmt, aber ihnen immer weiter hilfegebend zur Seite steht und ihnen mit viel Liebe, Geborgenheit, Fürsorge, Sicherheit und Verständnis ein neues, glückliches und hundegerechtes Leben schenkt. Nette Menschen, welche vorerst keine Erwartungen an die Sechs stellen, sondern sie ankommen und ihr Tempo selber bestimmen lassen. Wir sind sicher, das Sextett wird bald tolle Fortschritte machen, wenn man ihnen die Chance in einem eigenen Daheim gibt. Es wird sich lohnen und was gibt es schöneres und wertvolleres, als das Vertrauen und die Treue eines Hundes? Wer glaubt an die sechs tapferen Hundekinder und zeigt ihnen, wie schön das Leben sein kann? Aktuell sind die Geschwister noch zu jung für eine Kastration, die muss von ihren neuen Besitzern nachgeholt werden, wenn sie alt genug dafür sind. Endgrösse von 46-56cm und Endgewicht von 15-22kg sind nur geschätzt. Am 23.6.2026 ist Moana 38cm und 7,5kg Die Geschwister können ab ca. Anfang August 2026 reisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle gefunden haben.

About Moana

What life with Moana looks like

Moana is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Moana, answered.

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