How do I contact the shelter about Nelda?

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

Can I adopt Nelda 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 Nelda 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 Nelda 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 Nelda 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.

Nelda

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Nelda is a charming, friendly, gentle and loving female dog who arrived in Kecskemét on June 15th, 2026 with her four puppies Niko, Nilas, Neelix and Niccolo from the town of Orgovany. Nelda's past remains a mystery - she was not microchipped and no one is looking for her. She is now safe in the shelter and we hope that this will only be a temporary stop before she finds her forever home. Nelda is a loving mother to her puppies, caring, patient and affectionate. We care deeply about her and wish for her to experience a life of happiness and love. Many petting sessions, a loving home, a soft bed, fine food, regular grooming, beautiful walks and unforgettable hours spent with her humans - this is what Nelda deserves - a life worthy of her name. She is curious about the world outside and wants to catch up on all she has missed out on. She gladly receives petting and affection from the caregivers as she has much need for it. Nelda longs for human companionship, people who love her unconditionally, perhaps even for the first time in her life feeling that she is worth something and that there are people who care about her and protect her. She gets along well with other dogs but currently lives alone with her puppies in a kennel. (As of July 2nd, 2026) We wish for Nelda to find loving, patient and dog-enthusiastic humans who will give her the chance to lead an appropriate life as a beloved family member and provide her with all the love, care, security, peace and safety she so desperately needs. Great people who enjoy being outdoors, going on discovery tours with Nelda, mentally and physically challenging her according to her age and welcoming her into their family forever. Whoever gives this wonderful dog time and love will receive a loyal companion. Who will show Nelda how beautiful life can be? At the moment Nelda is not spayed. This will happen at the earliest 3-4 months after birth. Depending on her age, it will then be decided whether she should still be spayed or if this would take place with her new humans. Nelda can travel from around early/mid August 2026 when a home or foster family has been found for her.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Und noch eine weitere Mutterhündin, welche am 15.6.2026 gemeinsam mit ihren 4 Welpen, Niko, Nilas, Neelix und Niccolo, aus der Gemeine Orgovany nach Kecskemét kam. Nelda heisst sie jetzt, ob sie mal einen Namen hatte, wissen wir nicht. Ebenso wenig, wie ihre Vergangenheit ausgesehen hat, woher sie kommt und warum sie heimatlos wurde. Es wird ihr Geheimnis bleiben. Sie war nicht gechipt, noch vermisste sie jemand. Nelda und ihre kleine Familie sind jetzt erst mal in Sicherheit und wir drücken die Daumen, dass das Menhely nur eine kurze Zwischenstation bleiben wird und sie alle bald ihre Tickets ins Glück lösen dürfen. Nelda ist eine bezaubernde, freundliche, sanfte und liebe Hündin und ihren Welpen eine fürsorgliche, geduldige und liebevolle Mama. Uns liegt sie sehr am Herzen und wir wünschen uns für Nelda das Paradies auf Erden. Viele Streicheleinheiten, ein liebevolles Zuhause, ein weiches Bettchen, feines Futter, regelmässige Fellpflege, schöne Spaziergänge und mit ihren Menschen gemeinsam unvergessliche Stunden zusammen verbringen, das alles soll Nelda endlich erfahren dürfen - ein würdiges Leben eben. Sie ist neugierig auf die Welt da draussen und möchte all das Versäumte nachholen. Streicheleinheiten und Zuneigung holt sie sich gerne bei den Pflegern ab, da hat sie viel Nachholbedarf. Nelda möchte endlich Zweibeiner an ihrer Seite wissen, welche sie bedingungslos lieben, vielleicht überhaupt das erste Mal in ihrem Leben spüren, dass sie etwas wert ist und es Menschen gibt, welchen sie etwas bedeutet und welche sie umsorgen und beschützen. Mit ihren Artgenossen hat Nelda keine Probleme, lebt aber aktuell mit ihren Kindern noch alleine in einem Kennel. (Stand 2.7.2026) Für unsere allerliebste Nelda wünschen wir uns liebe, geduldige und hundebegeisterte Menschen, welche Nelda die Chance geben, ein artgerechtes Leben als geliebtes Familienmitglied führen zu dürfen und ihr all die Liebe, Fürsorge, Geborgenheit, Ruhe und Sicherheit geben, welche Nelda so sehr braucht. Tolle Menschen, welche gerne in der Natur unterwegs sind, mit Nelda auf Entdeckungstour gehen, sie geistig wie körperlich fordern und fördern, dem Alter entsprechend und sie für immer in ihrer Familie willkommen heissen. Wer dieser wundervollen Hündin seine Zeit und Liebe schenkt, wird eine treue Begleiterin bekommen. Wer zeigt Nelda, wie schön das Leben sein kann? Zur Zeit ist Nelda noch nicht kastriert. Dies erfolgt frühstens 3-4 Monate nach der Geburt. Auf Grund ihres Alters wird dann zur gegebener Zeit geschaut, ob man sie noch kastrierten soll. Oder dann bei ihren neuen Menschen. Nelda kann ab ca. Anfang/Mitte August 2026 reisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle gefunden hat.

About Nelda

What life with Nelda looks like

Nelda is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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 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.
