Noel

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

Noel has been living at our partner shelter in Siófok, Hungary, for over a year, patiently waiting for the right people. He gets along with all dogs and does not seek out conflict in the exercise yard. His ears, however, need a lot of care, as otherwise he keeps running into problems with them. Over the past year, Noel has developed well, and now it is finally time for him to leave the shelter. For Noel, we are looking for consistent people, without children, who will lead him accordingly and keep steering his character in the right direction. He simply still needs a lot of training, and attending a dog school would certainly be an enrichment for both sides.

DE·Show original

Noel lebt seit über einem Jahr in unserem Partnertierheim in Siofok/Ungarn und wartet geduldig auf die richtigen Menschen. Er verträgt sich mit allen Hunden und sucht keinen Streit im Auslauf. Seine Ohren benötigen jedoch viel Pflege, da er sonst immer wieder Probleme damit hat. Innerhalb eines Jahres hat Noel sich bereits gut entwickelt und nun wäre es für ihn endlich an der Zeit, das Tierheim zu verlassen. Für Noel suchen wir konsequente Menschen, ohne Kinder, die ihn entsprechend auch führen und seinen Charakter weiterhin in die richtigen Bahnen lenken. Er benötigt einfach noch viel Erziehung und der Besuch einer Hundeschule wäre für beide Seiten sicher eine Bereicherung.

About Noel

What life with Noel looks like

Noel is a medium-sized adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Hundehilfe Marika e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Noel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Noel?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Marika e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Noel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Noel if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe Marika 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Noel 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 Noel 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 Hundehilfe Marika e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Noel 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.
