Serona

Female · Adult · 4 years

Native Country: Hungary The pretty Serona was reported on July 29, 2025, wandering alone in Kecskemét at the our shelter. A shelter worker went to retrieve her and, fortunately, she was easily captured and brought to safety. Many dangers await a stray dog outside. As expected, Serona was not microchipped, and no one missed this wonderful female dog. We are crossing our fingers that she will soon be traded from the our shelter for a permanent home, even though we know that it is very difficult for listehunde to find a suitable home. Serona is a nice, loving, well-mannered, and friendly female dog. She is still young, lively, and very affectionate, and she would love to find a new home in an active family. She wants to be mentally and physically challenged and her new people should still be affectionate and consistently teach her everything she needs to know about being a dog. She loves when she is engaged and enjoys human affection and cuddles very much. It will definitely be fun to work with Serona and teach her some tricks. Maybe Serona and her new family will also have fun with agility or something similar, as long as they have a great time together. Serona does not get along with her fellow animals and wishes for a competent home as a single princess. For our cheerful Serona, we are looking for enthusiastic and dog/breed-experienced people who can give Serona a loving "Forever Home" where she can finally feel safe and loved, enjoy exciting walks, be challenged, supported, and lovingly but consistently led, and simply experience a happy and carefree life, leaving her past behind. On February 23, 2026, a voluntary, Hungarian helper writes: "Serona came to the animal shelter in late July 2025. On the mentor day, she went for a walk with her favorite mentor. Serona is a people-oriented, friendly, and affectionate dog. During the walk, she enjoyed the cuddles and pampering from her mentor and actively sought out closeness. She was happy and glad that someone was taking care of her and giving her attention. She enjoyed every moment of the walk and sniffed curiously at her surroundings. Serona is active, lively, and full of movement. She runs beautifully on the leash." Who can be a loyal friend to Serona? Since Serona is a listehund mix, you must check with your local community about their housing permit requirements if you are interested in her. Serona can travel starting around the end of November 2025 if she has found a home or foster home.

Ursprungsland: Ungarn Die hübsche Serona wurde am 29.7.2025 alleine umherwandernd in Kecskemét dem Menhely gemeldet. Ein Tierheimmitarbeiter machte sich auf den Weg, und zum Glück liess sich Serona gut einfangen und in Sicherheit bringen, denn draussen lauern zu viele Gefahren auf einen herrenlosen Hund. Wie nicht anders zu erwarten, war Serona nicht gechipt, und es gab niemanden, der diese tolle Hündin vermisste. Wir drücken ihr fest die Daumen, dass sie das Menhely bald gegen ein eigenes Zuhause tauschen darf, auch wenn wir wissen, dass es für die Listenhunde immer sehr schwer ist, ein geeignetes Daheim zu finden. Serona ist eine nette, liebe, aufgestellte und freundliche Hündin. Sie ist noch jung, munter und sehr liebesbedürftig und hätte gerne in einer unternehmungslustigen Familie ihr neues Zuhause. Sie möchte gerne geistig wie körperlich ausgelastet werden, und ihre neuen Menschen sollen ihr noch liebevoll, aber konsequent alles vom Hundeeinmaleins beibringen, was sie noch nicht kennt. Sie liebt es, wenn man sich mit ihr beschäftigt, und menschliche Zuwendung und Streicheleinheiten mag sie sehr. Es wird bestimmt viel Spass machen, mit Serona zu arbeiten und ihr einige Tricks beizubringen. Vielleicht haben Serona und ihre neue Familie auch Spass an Agility oder Ähnlichem, Hauptsache, man hat zusammen eine tolle Zeit. Für unsere fröhliche Serona suchen wir begeisterte und hunde- beziehungsweise rasseerfahrene Menschen, die ihr ein liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause schenken. Ein Zuhause, in dem sie sich endlich geborgen und geliebt fühlen darf, spannende Spaziergänge geniessen kann, gefordert, gefördert und liebevoll, aber konsequent geführt wird und einfach ein glückliches und sorgloses Leben erfahren und die Vergangenheit hinter sich lassen darf. Update vom 26.07.2026: Am Mentortag darf Serona mit ihrer Lieblingsmentorin spazieren gehen, und dabei zeigt sich, was für eine menschenbezogene, freundliche und liebe Hündin sie ist. Sie geniesst die Streicheleinheiten und das Verwöhntwerden sichtlich und sucht aktiv die Nähe, fröhlich und glücklich, dass sich jemand um sie kümmert und ihr Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Serona ist aktiv, lebhaft und bewegungsfreudig und liebt die Natur über alles: Am liebsten hält sie sich auf der Wiese auf, macht gerne Pausen, schnüffelt ausgiebig und geniesst es, einfach sie selbst sein zu dürfen. An der Leine läuft sie schön. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sie sich noch nicht sehr gut, deshalb wurde nun ein Sozialisierungsprogramm mit ihr gestartet, ein Update dazu folgt. Beim Spazieren zeigt sich aber schon jetzt, dass ein Abstand von ein bis zwei Metern zu anderen Hunden absolut kein Problem ist: Sie fixiert die anderen nicht, sondern läuft entspannt nebenher. Da Serona ein Listenhundmix ist, müssen Sie sich bei Interesse an ihr zuerst in Ihrem Wohnkanton über die Haltungsbedingungen informieren. Serona ist reisefertig.

About Serona

What life with Serona looks like

Serona is an adult 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 Serona, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Serona?
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 Serona on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Serona 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Serona 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 Serona 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 Serona 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.
