Adopt PABLO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Estimated birth date: March 2017 Brief info: friendly, active, only conditionally compatible, solid dog experience required The male dog PABLO was born around March 2017 and was found half-snowed in a field by an observant passerby in early March 2018. His story even made its way through the social media in Hungary. PABLO was almost frozen in the coldest night of the year, chained up, without a doghouse, discovered on a property with just a few rags. Only a vigilant observer could spot him under the snow cover, but fortunately, one was there, and so the police, a vet, and Kat’s husband Levente were alerted. They arrived with some volunteers to free the dog from his misery. PABLO would not have survived the night with his short fur. It is absolutely amazing, but after recovering in the heated container from his ordeal, PABLO has become a friendly and lively male dog. It has now been established that while he is generally compatible with his fellow animals, he still needs to be monitored. In the case of adoption, one should be prepared that he might need to be on a leash at all times for safety reasons to avoid any risk to other dogs. Therefore, PABLO could only be rehomed with people who have absolute solid experience in caring for more demanding dogs. Due to his suspected mixed breed, PABLO cannot be rehomed to Germany but only to certain cantons in Switzerland (or to other countries without restrictions, such as Hungary). PABLO will be neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and come with an EU pet passport for his new home. Do you have an interest in giving PABLO a new life? Then please contact us!

Geschätztes Geburtsdatum: März 2017 Kurzinfo: freundlich, aktiv, nur bedingt verträglich, solide Hundeerfahrung erforderlich Der ca. im März 2017 geborene Pablo wurde Anfang März 2018 von einem aufmerksamen Passanten auf einem Grundstück halb eingeschneit gefunden. Seine Geschichte ging selbst im hartgesottenen Ungarn durch die sozialen Medien. Pablo wurde in der kältesten Nacht des Jahres fast erfroren, angekettet, ohne Hundehütte, auf ein paar Lumpen auf einem Grundstück entdeckt. Nur ein aufmerksamer Beobachter konnte ihn unter der Schneedecke entdecken, aber den gab es glücklicherweise und so wurde die Polizei, ein Tierarzt und Katas Mann Levente verständigt, die mit einigen Freiwilligen anrückten um den Hund von seinem Elend zu befreien. Pablo hätte mit seinem kurzen Fell die Nacht wohl nicht überlebt. Es ist absolut erstaunlich, aber Pablo ist, nachdem er sich im beheizten Container von den Strapazen erholt hat, ein freundlicher und aufgeweckter Rüde geworden. Inzwischen wurde festgestellt, dass er mit seinen Artgenossen zwar grundsätzlich verträglich ist, aber dennoch auf jeden Fall kontrolliert werden muss. Man sollte im Falle einer Adoption darauf eingestellt sein, dass er möglicherweise sicherheitshalber außerhalb der eigenen 4 Wände immer angeleint bleiben muss, um jegliches Risiko für andere Hunde zu vermeiden. Deshalb könnte Pablo auch nur an Menschen mit absolut solider Erfahrung in der Haltung anspruchsvoller Hunde vermittelt werden. Aufgrund seines vermuteten Rassemixes darf Pablo leider nicht nach Deutschland, sondern nur in bestimmte Kantone der Schweiz (oder in andere Länder ohne Einschränkung, wie z.B. Ungarn) vermittelt werden. Pablo zieht kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause. Haben Sie Interesse Pablo ein neues Leben zu schenken? Dann melden Sie sich bitte bei uns! Am besten können Sie hierfür gleich die Selbstauskunft nutzen (oder alternativ auch das Kontaktformular).

About PABLO

What life with PABLO looks like

PABLO is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenretter Ungarn in Pfotenretter.

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 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 PABLO, answered.

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