Adopt Pöfi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

PÖFI came from Komló to the municipal pound with his companions, but his owner gave him up. He was fearful and aggressive, so he could not be given to an owner. Pöfi spent a lot of time at the municipal pound where he changed a lot, but he definitely needed a specialist. So in February this year, he was transferred to the Phoenix Dog Shelter, under the care of professionals, where his rehabilitation is progressing nicely and slowly. He has made tremendous progress since then. It will still take a little while before Pöfi is ready to be adopted, but maybe someone will notice him now...... Pöfi Born around mid-March 2018, medium-sized, chipped, vaccinated, regularly dewormed and treated for fleas, neutered male dog.

PÖFI Komlóról került be a gyepmesteri telepre, társaival, de gazdája lemondott róla. Félelmi agressziós volt, így gazdihoz nem volt kiadható. Sok időt töltött a gyepmesteri telepes ahol sokat változott, de mindenképpen szakemberre volt szüksége. Így idén februárban a Főnix Kutyapanzióba került , szakember keze alá, ahol szépen, lassan halad a rehabilitációja. Óriási fejlődésen ment keresztül azóta. Pöfinkre igaz még várni kell egy kicsit, hogy örökbe lehessen fogadni, de hátha valaki már most felfigyel rá...... Pöfi Kb 2018. március közepén született, közepes termetű, chippelt, oltott, rendszeresen féreg és bolhaírtott, ivartalanított kan kutyus.

About Pöfi

What life with Pöfi looks like

Pöfi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Komlói Állatvédő Közhasznú Egyesület in Hungary.

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 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 Pöfi, answered.

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