Szilaj

Male · Senior · 11 years

Szilaj is approximately 11 years old, about 55 cm tall and weighs around 23 kg. This wonderful senior dog is now looking for his forever home. Despite his age, Szilaj still enjoys going for walks and thoroughly appreciates his daily exercise. His eyesight may not be the best, but he copes well in everyday life. He is an incredibly friendly, calm and grateful dog who loves human company and soaks up every bit of attention. Szilaj gets along with other dogs, having been housed with very small dogs on his foster home and being exceptionally friendly towards them. We can easily imagine him living in a home with nice children and he would be an absolute dream dog for seniors or those new to owning dogs due to his gentle nature. He has undergone thorough health checks; his blood test results are excellent for his age. The dear fellow is now getting dental work done. We really hope Szilaj can enjoy many more wonderful years in his new home. 🟢Interested? Please fill out our self-assessment form

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 geht Szilaj noch gerne spazieren und genießt seine täglichen Runden sehr. Seine Augen sind nicht mehr die besten, doch im Alltag kommt er damit gut zurecht. Er ist ein unglaublich freundlicher, ruhiger und dankbarer Hund, der die Nähe zum Menschen sehr genießt und jede Zuwendung aufsaugt. Szilaj ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden, auf seiner Pflegestelle ist er mit sehr kleinen Hunde zusammen und außerordentlich freundlich.

About Szilaj

What life with Szilaj looks like

Szilaj is a senior dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 — Tierfreunde im Fläming 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Tierfreunde im Fläming 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.
