Szilaj ♂ 🇩🇪

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Szilaj is approximately 11 years old, about 55 cm tall, and weighs around 23 kg. This wonderful senior is searching for a loving foster home or—preferably—his last home. Despite his age, Szilaj still enjoys going for walks and really enjoys his daily rounds. His eyes may not be the best anymore, but he manages well in everyday life. He is an incredibly friendly, calm, and grateful dog who greatly enjoys the company of humans and absorbs every affection. Szilaj gets along well with other dogs, could also imagine a home with nice children, and would even be a dream dog for seniors or first-time dog owners due to his gentle nature. This dog is waiting at the animal shelter 'Hoffnung' for his people— the shelter itself is grateful for any support to ensure the dogs continue to be well cared for.

Szilaj ist ca. 11 Jahre alt, etwa 55 cm groß und wiegt rund 23 kg. Dieser wundervolle Senior sucht nun sein letztes Zuhause. Trotz seines Alters ist Szilaj aktiv und geht noch sehr gerne spazieren und genießt seine täglichen Runden und das Toben mit Artgenossen sehr. Aufgrund seiner Größe braucht er standfeste Menschen. Seine Augen und Ohren sind nicht mehr die besten, doch im Alltag kommt er damit gut zurecht. Er ist ein unglaublich lieber, freundlicher, ruhiger und dankbarer Hund, der die Nähe zum Menschen sehr genießt und jede Zuwendung aufsaugt. Autofahren ist für ihn kein Problem und er kann auf seiner Pflegestelle schon stundenweise alleine bleiben. Szilaj ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden, auf seiner Pflegestelle ist er mit sehr kleinen Hunde zusammen und außerordentlich freundlich. Ein Zuhause mit netten Kindern können wir uns gut vorstellen. Er wäre durch seine sanfte Art sogar für ambitionierte Hundeanfänger geeignet, wenn sie mit etwas Erfahrung, ggf. der Unterstützung einer guten Hundeschule und der nötigen Geduld, die so ein Schatz beim Eingewöhnen brauchen wird, herangehen. Er hat das Potenzial zum absoluten Traumhund. Wir haben ihn gründlich durchchecken lassen, Seine Blutwerte sind für sein Alter außerordentlich gut. Der liebe Schatz bekam noch eine Zahnsanierung gemacht. Wir hoffen so sehr das Szilaj noch wunderschöne Jahre in seinem neuen Zuhause genießen darf. Selbstauskunft Jetzt für das Tier bewerben

About Szilaj ♂ 🇩🇪

What life with Szilaj ♂ 🇩🇪 looks like

Szilaj ♂ 🇩🇪 is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. in Biedenkopf.

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 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 Szilaj ♂ 🇩🇪, answered.

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