Krystal

Labrador Retriever · Female

Breed: Labrador-mixed breed, approx. 45-50 cm compatibility with others: Shows itself not very compatible in the animal shelter, can also jump over fences Current location: animal shelter Hajdúböszörmény, Hungary Abandonment reason: Found dog Krystal is a lively and active female dog, for whom one should always have sufficient time. The female dog is completely under-stimulated in the animal shelter; she sits day in and day out in a small pen and cannot satisfy her need for movement at all. Consequently, she is unexhausted when taken out of the pen. For Krystal, we recommend attending dog training classes and wish for a home with a garden or an apartment with an enclosed terrace. Children should already be a bit older because she is very lively and would simply "knock over" small children out of sheer joy.

Rasse: Labrador-Mischling, ca.45-50 cm Verträglichkeit: Zeigt sich im Tierheim nicht gut verträglich, kann auch über Zäune springen Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Hajdúböszörmény, Ungarn Abgabegrund: Fundhündin Krystal ist eine temperamentvolle und aktive Hündin, für die man in jedem Fall ausreichend Zeit haben sollte. Die Hündin ist im Tierheim völlig unterfordert, sie sitzt Tag ein Tag aus in einem Kleinen Zwinger und kann ihrem Bewegungsdrang überhaupt nicht nachgehen. Dementsprechend unausgelastet ist sie wenn man sie aus dem Zwinger rausholt. Für Krystal empfehlen wir in jedem Fall den Besuch einer Hundeschule und wünschen uns ein Haus mit Garten oder Wohnung mit eingezäunter Terrasse. Kinder sollten schon etwas größer sein da sie sehr temperamentvoll ist und sie Kleinkinder schlichtweg vor lauter Freude „umrennen“ würde.

About Krystal

What life with Krystal looks like

Krystal is an adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 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 Krystal, answered.

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