Viki

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Viki, we first met her during our visit in April 2024. At that time she was still very fearful and kept a great distance from us. On our visit in February 2025, Viki was already much more open and watched with interest, from a shorter distance, what we were doing in her enclosure. In May 2025 she even let us touch her briefly. Viki is a very gentle, sweet girl. She remains reserved around strangers, but she trusts the people at the shelter and lets them touch her without any problem. She will give this same trust to her new family. We are therefore looking for a quiet household with understanding people who will give this sweet girl time to settle into her new home. Viki gets along well with other dogs and could therefore also move into a household with a dog already living there. Can you imagine adopting our Viki? If so, please feel free to contact us. Viki is eagerly waiting for YOUR family at the Barcs / Hungary animal shelter. She could escape the bleak shelter routine as early as the next transport and jump into your arms.

Viki haben wir erstmalig bei unserem Besuch im April 2024 kennengelernt. Da war sie noch sehr ängstlich und hat großen Abstand von uns genommen. Bei unserem Besuch im Februar 2025 war Viki schon viel aufgeschlossener und hat mit weniger Abstand interessiert beobachtet, was wir da so in ihrem Zwinger tun. Im Mai 2025 hat sie sich sogar kurz von uns anfassen lassen. Viki ist eine ganz sanfte, süße Maus. Bei ihr fremden Menschen ist sie nach wie vor noch zurückhaltend, aber den Menschen im Tierheim vertraut sie und lässt sich problemlos anfassen. Dieses Vertrauen wird sie auch ihren neuen Menschen schenken. Für Viki suchen wir daher einen ruhigen Haushalt mit verständnisvollen Menschen, die der süßen Maus Zeit geben, sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause einzuleben. Mit anderen Hunden ist Viki gut verträglich und könnte deshalb auch in einen Haushalt mit einem bereits vorhandenen Hund ziehen. Sie können sich vorstellen, unsere Viki zu adoptieren? Dann melden Sie sich gerne bei uns. Viki wartet im Tierheim Barcs / Ungarn sehnsüchtig auf IHRE Menschen. Sie könnte bereits bei der kommenden Fahrt dem tristen Tierheimalltag entkommen und in Ihre Arme hüpfen.

About Viki

What life with Viki looks like

Viki is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at generator in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Viki, answered.

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