Selma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Selma was found on the street near Tiszafüred. She was wearing a collar that already left an impression on her neck and was dragging a rope behind her. She probably broke free or was abandoned. Unfortunately, she had no chip and no owner could be found. So the young dog came to us and is now looking for a suitable forever home. Selma is a really delicate dog. In her young life, she probably did not have many positive experiences. She reacts uncertainly in new situations at first, takes a close look at everything and does not particularly seek contact with people at the moment. We suspect that she has only lived chained up. She is therefore not familiar with a normal family life. We wish for people for her who will teach her everything step by step. With patience, empathy and a certain know-how, she will definitely open up and become more confident after a short time. She must not be reinforced in her uncertainty or limited to her past. Selma is still young and has a lot of potential to learn many new things and associate them with something positive. She reacts reserved to her fellow dogs - maybe she has also had negative experiences there. We therefore see her more as a single princess or at most with a very tolerant, rather uninterested first dog. Children should be at least 10 years old and have experience with dogs. Since she has not yet been able to gather many experiences with the outside world, we see the young dog more in the countryside or on the outskirts of town, instead of a turbulent city center. In general, a regular, quiet everyday life would be better for her acclimatization. Currently, she shows a medium energy level and would certainly enjoy varied walks in her new home after sufficient acclimatization. With a little practice and a cozy retreat, Selma would definitely be a great office companion due to her gentle and quiet nature. The delicate dog deserves a loving, safe home more than anything. Selma can leave at any time. Do you want to adopt Selma? Then just fill out the application form! NOTE: All dogs are simultaneously placed by the German and Hungarian team. Reservations can be made on both sides.

Selma wurde auf der Straße in der Nähe von Tiszafüred gefunden. Sie trug ein Halsband, welches bereits einen Abdruck am Nacken hinterließ, & schliff ein Seil hinter sich her. Vermutlich hat sie sich losgerissen oder wurde ausgesetzt. Leider hatte sie keinen Chip und es konnte auch kein Besitzer ausfindig gemacht werden. So kam die junge Hündin zu uns und sucht nun ein passendes für-immer-Zuhause. Selma ist eine wirklich zarte Hündin. In ihrem jungen Leben hat sie vermutlich nicht sonderlich viele positive Erfahrungen sammeln dürfen. Sie reagiert in neuen Situationen erst einmal etwas verunsichert, schaut sich alles in Ruhe an & sucht aktuell noch nicht sonderlich den Kontakt zu Menschen. Wir vermuten, dass sie bisher lediglich draußen angekettet gelebt hat. Ein normales Familienleben kennt sie deshalb einfach nicht. Wir wünschen uns daher Menschen für sie, die ihr alles schrittweise beibringen. Mit Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und einem gewissen Know-How wird sie sich bestimmt schon nach kurzer Zeit öffnen und selbstbewusster werden. Sie darf in ihrer Unsicherheit keinesfalls bestärkt oder auf ihre Vergangenheit beschränkt werden. Selma ist noch jung und hat eine Menge Potenzial viele Dinge neu kennenzulernen und mit etwas Positivem zu verknüpfen. Bei Artgenossen reagiert sie zurückhaltend – eventuell hat sie auch da negative Erfahrungen gesammelt. Wir sehen sie deshalb eher als Einzelprinzessin oder bei maximal einem sehr toleranten, eher desinteressierten Ersthund. Kinder sollten mind. 10 Jahre alt sein und Hundeerfahrung mitbringen. Da sie noch nicht viele Erfahrungen mit der Außenwelt sammeln konnte sehen wir die junge Hündin eher auf dem Land oder am Stadtrand, anstelle einer turbulenten Innenstadt. Allgemein wäre ein geregelter, ruhiger Alltag besser für ihre Eingewöhnung. Aktuell zeigt sie ein mittleres Energielevel und würde sich im neuen Zuhause nach ausreichender Eingewöhnung sicherlich über abwechslungsreiche Spaziergänge freuen. Mit etwas Übung und einem gemütlichen Rückzugsort wäre Selma aufgrund ihrer sanften & ruhigen Art sie bestimmt auch eine prima Bürobegleitung. Die zarte Hündin hat ein liebevolles, sicheres Zuhause mehr als verdient. Selma kann ab sofort ausreisen. Du möchtest Selma adoptieren? Dann fülle einfach das Bewerbungsformular aus! HINWEIS: Alle Hunde werden zeitgleich durch das deutsche & ungarische Team vermittelt. Auf beiden Seiten kann es zu Reservierungen kommen.

About Selma

What life with Selma looks like

Selma is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Spitz und Pawtners e.V. in Germany.

A young 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 Selma, answered.

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