Zsömi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Information about "Zsömi": Breed: Mixed breed Gender: Female Date of birth: Estimated 10 August 2020 Color: Gray Vaccinations: Yes Spayed: Yes Microchipped: Yes Service dog: No Shoulder height: Approximately 48 cm Location: Hárkany, Hungary Information on Zsömi’s current situation: Zsömi was placed with a young couple in spring 2022. After their subsequent separation, the dog remained with the man, where her living conditions deteriorated dramatically. In summer 2025, photos indicated severe neglect. After much hesitation on the part of the owner, a home visit was finally arranged, confirming these suspicions. In March 2026, we took Zsömi back into our care. Her condition was critical: weighing only 16 kg, she was severely emaciated and showed extensive hair loss on her back. A veterinary examination the following day—including a blood test and Hungarian profile—revealed a symptom-free but positive result for Babesia. Today, three months later, Zsömi has fought her way back to life! Thanks to the loving care at her foster home, she has gained over 4 kg. The Babesia infection has been successfully treated, and her coat is slowly growing back—but whether it will ever regain its former fullness remains to be seen. Even more important, however, is her spirit: Zsömi has blossomed into an alert, cheerful, and extremely eager-to-learn dog. After all the hardships she’s endured, Zsömi is now ready to pack her bags for a forever home. Where can she finally find her new home? Zsömi has left her past behind and is now ready to begin a new chapter in her life.

Informationen zu "Zsömi " Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich Geboren: 10.08.2020 (geschätzt) Farbe: grau Impfungen: Ja Kastriert: Ja Chip: Ja Anlagehund: Nein Schulterhöhe: ca. 48 cm Aufenthaltsort: Hárkany Ungarn Informationen zum Aufenthalt des Hundes Zsömi wurde im Frühjahr 2022 an ein junges Paar vermittelt. Nach der späteren Trennung verblieb die Hündin bei dem Mann, wo sich ihre Haltungsbedingungen massiv verschlechterten. Im Sommer 2025 ließen Fotos auf eine starke Vernachlässigung schließen. Nach langem Zögern des Halters konnte schließlich ein Hausbesuch durchgeführt werden, der den Verdacht bestätigte. Im März 2026 holten wir Zsömi zu uns zurück. Ihr Zustand war kritisch: Bei einem Gewicht von nur 16 kg war sie stark abgemagert und wies großflächigen Haarausfall am Rücken auf. Eine tierärztliche Untersuchung am Folgetag inklusive Blutbild und Ungarnprofil ergab einen symptomfreien, aber positiven Befund auf Babesien. Heute, drei Monate später, hat sich Zsömi ins Leben zurückgekämpft! Dank der liebevollen Pflege in ihrer Pflegestelle hat sie über 4 kg zugenommen. Die Babesien wurden erfolgreich behandelt und auch ihr Fell wächst langsam nach – ob es je wieder ganz die alte Fülle erreicht, wird die Zeit zeigen. Viel wichtiger ist jedoch ihre Seele: Zsömi hat sich zu einer aufgeweckten, fröhlichen und extrem lernbereiten Hündin entwickelt. Nach all den Strapazen ist Zsömi nun bereit, ihre Koffer für ein Für-immer-Zuhause zu packen. Wo darf sie endlich ankommen? Zsömi hat ihre Vergangenheit hinter sich gelassen und ist ab sofort bereit für die

About Zsömi

What life with Zsömi looks like

Zsömi is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein TS Nie mehr allein e.V. in Mildstedt.

An 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. 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 Zsömi, answered.

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