Adopt Selymes

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Origin Country: Hungary Selymes was released with her siblings on October 8, 2021, in front of our partner shelter Koborka in Mesötúr, Hungary, under a tree. It was a very cold night, and the staff found the four of them huddled together in the morning. The animal shelter quickly realized that it was a litter of herding dogs that had been abandoned. One of the four siblings, a black male dog, was rehomed on-site. On the first evening, we were barked at almost non-stop. When approaching the pen where the three siblings live, all of them barked but backed away. By the second day, they were already accepting treats through the fence without barking. A few hours later, they were wagging their tails and eagerly awaiting treats. On the third day, we were allowed to get to know each other outside the pen. Skeptical but curious, Selymes let herself be stroked and was easily handled. We wish for Selymes a home where she can fulfill her purpose of looking after something and being rasseotypically well-exercised. Selymes can only be rehomed with people who have experience with dogs and breeds. Selymes is not a dog for an apartment. Selymes has no problem with other dogs. She especially enjoys the small ones from our kindergarten and plays well with them in the free run. Update from a German visitor/helper on May 21, 2025: "I find Selymes to be a wonderful and totally beautiful female dog. When you meet her, she is initially reserved and observes us. If you sit with her and give her time, she warms up piece by piece. Unfortunately, we had limited time. But I am convinced that with time and allowing her to adjust, and not expecting too much at once, you will find a wonderful companion in Selymes. A companion with a great size and a huge heart." Four wonderful dogs are waiting for their people! The siblings do not have to be rehomed together. Selymes is neutered. The final height of 58-68cm and final weight of 28-35kg are only estimated. On January 12, 2024, Selymes was 60cm and weighed 30kg. Selymes is travel-ready.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Selymes wurde mit ihren Geschwistern am 8.10.2021 vor unserem Partnertierheim Koborka in Mesötúr/ Ungarn unter einem Baum ausgesetzt. Es war eine sehr kalte Nacht und die Mitarbeiter fanden die 4 am Morgen eng aneinander gekuschelt. Im Tierheim war schnell klar, dass es sich um einen Wurf Herdenschutzhunde handelt, die entsorgt wurde. Einer der 4 Geschwister, ein schwarzer Rüde konnte vor Ort vermittelt werden. Am ersten Abend wurden wir regelrecht ausgebellt. Beim Annähern an den Zwinger, in dem die 3 Geschwister leben, bellten alle weiter, wichen aber zurück.Am zweiten Tag nahmen sie schon Leckerlis durch den Zaun von uns und akzeptierten es ohne „Gebelle“. Wenige Stunden später wurden wir schon schwanzwedelnd und mit Hoffnung auf Leckerlis empfangen.Am dritten Tag haben wir uns dann ausserhalb des Zwingers kennenlernen dürfen. Etwas Skeptisch, aber doch neugierig ließ Selymes sich streicheln und problemlos anfassen. Für Selymes wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem sie ihrer Aufgabe nachkommen darf, auf etwas aufzupassen und rassetypisch ausgelastet wird. Selymes wird nur an Hunde-und Rasseerfahrene Menschen vermittelt. Selymes ist kein Hund für eine Wohnung. Selymes hat kein Problem mit anderen Hunden. Insbesondere die kleinen aus unserem Kindergarten mag sie gern und ist mit ihnen im Freilauf.Update einer deutschen Besucherin/Helferin vom 21.05.2025: "Ich finde Selymes ist eine wundervolle und total hübsche Hündin. Wenn man auf sie trifft ist sie zunächst zurückhaltend und beobachtet uns. Wenn man sich zu ihr setzt und Zeit gibt taut sie Stück für Stück auf. Leider hatten wir nur begrenzt Zeit. Ich bin aber davon überzeugt, dass wenn man ihr Zeit gibt und sie ankommen darf und man nicht zu viel auf einmal erwartet, man in Selymes eine ganz tolle Begleiterin findet.Eine Begleiterin mit einer tollen Grösse und einem riesigen Herzen." Vier wunderbare Hunde warten auf ihre Menschen! Die Geschwister müssen nicht zusammen vermittelt werden. Selymes ist kastriert. Endgrösse von 58- 68cm und Endgewicht von 28-35kg sind nur geschätzt. Am 12.01.2024 ist Selymes 60cm und 30kg. Selymes ist reisefertig.

About Selymes

What life with Selymes looks like

Selymes is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Happyend in Animal Happyend.

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 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 Selymes, answered.

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