Adopt Rex

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Rex, our slowly aging 11-year-old black and white Great Dane, went through a massive transformation since we took her in. She spent her first 10 years of life with an elderly guardian, ignorant of the world outside, the rain, and the existence of other people, but at least with love. Unfortunately, after her guardian's passing, her relatives' circumstances did not allow them to take her in, so she found a new chance at a new life with us. At first (since everything, but really everything and everyone was new to her), she was wary, fearful, and because she didn't know how to handle the myriad of new situations, she often gave us a small crocodile smile. 🙂 Time passed. The one who could only stop and stand in front of the kennel and with a few kind words—name, of course, with a fine attitude—tried to earn Rex's trust, while her small, torn heart began to slowly open to us. Now, she hardly recognizes the one she met only on entry. Rex can already be taken out for walks, for runs, and for adventures. It turned out that she loves to play, though she's still learning the rules of the game, but she's lively and endearing as she sits on her short little legs. She adores her siblings and no longer takes our hand away after every treat, but instead takes the treat bowl with grace. She looks forward to being petted, wagging her tail, and with her sweet eyes and determined little nudge, she shows that she already loves us, trusts us. We are looking for that capital G Guardian who will love her until the end of her life, to whom she can always come running, who will refill her little heart with love, because she deserves it. Thank you to Pádár Viktória for the photos! Additional photos of her: Rex in her coat, microchipped, neutered, spayed, protected against external parasites, with pre- and post-control, can be adopted to a new home. To apply for her: contact 06-70-619-93-11 and send a message with an introduction. While we find her ideal guardian, please support her!

Rex, a mi lassan 11 éves hóbortos uracskánk hatalmas változáson ment keresztül, mióta nálunk van. Életének első 10 évét idős gazdijával élte le, a külvilág izgalmairól, a pórázról és más emberek létezéséről mit sem tudva, de legalább szeretetben. Sajnos gazdija halála után a rokonok életkörülményei nem tették lehetővé, hogy hozzájuk kerüljön, így Rex egy új esély reményében a mi lakónk lett. Kezdetben (mivel minden, de tényleg minden és mindenki új volt számára) zavart volt, félt és mivel nem tudta, hogy kezelje a rengeteg új helyzetet, sokszor villantotta ránk kis krokodil mosolyát. 🙂 Telt az idő. Aki csak tehette megállt a kennelje előtt és pár kedves szóval – nameg persze finom falattal – próbálta elnyerni Rex ingatag bizalmát, mígnem elkezdett megtört kis szíve lassan nyitni felénk. Mára szinte rá sem ismerne az, aki csak a bekerülésekor találkozott vele. Rexet már ki tudjuk hozni sétálni, kirándulni, futkározni. Kiderült, hogy szeret labdázni, bár a játékszabályokat még tanulja, de lelkes és imádnivaló, ahogy szedi a rövid lábacskáit. Szereti a pocakját és már nem kapja be csuklóig a kezünket minden falat finomságért, hanem szépen veszi el a jutalomfalatot. Rajong a simogatásért, csillogó, kedves szemeivel és finoman határozott bújásával jelzi, hogy ő már szeret minket, bízik bennünk. Keressük számára azt a nagybetűs GAZDIT, akire élete végéig szerelemmel nézhet, akihez bármikor hozzábújhat, aki újra megtölti kis szívét szeretettel, hiszen megérdemli. Köszönjük a képeket Pádár Viktóriának! További képek róla: Rex oltva, chipelve, ivartalanítva, féreghajtva, külső paraziták ellen védve, elő- és utókontrollal, szerződéssel mehet új otthonába. Jelentkezni érte: 06-70-619-93-11 számon és bemutatkozó levéllel üzenetben lehet. Míg nem találjuk meg neki az ideális gazdit, kérlek támogasd őt!

About Rex

What life with Rex looks like

Rex is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ürömi Állatotthon in Hungary.

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 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 Rex, answered.

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