Niva

Mixed Breed · Unknown · 2 years

The Szolnok City Animal Shelter Foundation asked for help with placement, as Niva steals the heart of almost every visitor immediately. His good looks and playful nature are charming even through the fence. However, outside the kennel he is a bit more difficult to handle, jumping around, teasing, and stubborn. There's no malice in him, he's simply as if going through adolescence, although he is already an adult. He can be socialized with other dogs, and currently lives with a much larger, calmer male dog. He teasingly harasses him, jumps on him, pushes him, and leans on his head. The larger dog patiently tolerates this for a while, then when he has had enough, he clearly signals him to stop, which Niva understands nicely, at least for a while. Because of his teasing, we do not recommend him for families with small children at the moment, but otherwise there is no problem with him if he can be trained out of this. Apart from jumping, he walks nicely on a leash, and if properly tired, it is particularly pleasant to take a walk together.

BEKERÜLÉSÉNEK KÖRÜLMÉNYEI: Szolnok Városi Állatotthon Alaptvány kért segítséget az elhelyezésben Niva szinte minden látogatónk szívét azonnal elrabolja. Szép külseje és bolondos természete már a rácson keresztül is megnyerő. Kennelen kívül azonban egy kicsit nehezebb vele, ugrálós, csipkelődős és önfejü. Nincs benne rosszindulat, egyszerűen olyan, mintha épp a kamaszkorát élné, pedig már felnőtt. Más kutyákkal szoktatható, jelenleg is egy nála jóval nagyobb, nyugodtabb kan kutyával él együtt. Őt előszeretettel zargatja, ráugrál, lökdösi, a fejére támaszkodik. A nagyobb kutya ezt egy ideig türelmesen tűri, majd ha elege lesz, egy határozott jelzéssel rendre utasítja, amit Niva szépen meg is ért, legalább egy kis időre. Kisgyerekes családoknak a csipkelődése miatt egyelőre nem ajánljuk, de ha erről sikerül leszoktatni, akkor egyébként nincs baj vele. Az ugráláson kívül pórázon szépen sétál, és ha megfelelően le van fárasztva, kifejezetten élvezetes vele a közös séta. Fontos! Kérünk, hogy csak abban az esetben jelentkezz örökbefogadónak, ha egy életre elköteleződnél és felelős állattartó vagy, akinél a kutya nem kerti dísz, hanem családtag. Vállalod, hogy költözésnél (akár külföldre, akár kertből lakásba, akár másik albérletbe) a kutyádat/macskádat, mint egy másik családtagodat viszed magaddal és gondoskodsz arról, hogy ha veled bármi történik, neki akkor is legyen biztos otthona.

About Niva

What life with Niva looks like

Niva is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rex Kutyaotthon in Budapest.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs training for jumping and nipping behaviors

🇭🇺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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Niva, answered.

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