Zsömi

Vizsla · Female · Adult · 6 years

26.10.2026 Zsömi has settled in well in Füle, and we can now report much more about her character. To our surprise, she has developed quite differently than we originally assumed. Hajnalka describes her as a loving female dog who enjoys being in company, though she prefers calm companions, such as Dani or Jenny, who has since moved into her new home. Since Zsömi arrived in Füle, she has had one epileptic seizure so far. A shelter visitor who was able to meet Zsömi in person describes her as, "…a rock in the surf. She walks very relaxed on the leash, knows how to hold back, and has a calm nature. Zsömi is a wonderful anchor. She enjoys all the cuddles without being pushy, and she is very relaxed with the kids (over 10 years old). Here you get a Vischel, who is her own anchor." Zsömi certainly needs training, guidance, and clear tasks, since her hunting drive seems to be quite manageable when channeled well. What also appears to play an important role for her is an environment that lets her rest in inner calm and gives her a secure feeling of being wanted. 03.09.2026 Zsömi – a strong-willed female dog with a clear mission for HER people. Zsömi previously lived on a farm in Hungary, where chickens were also kept. Unfortunately, she apparently became a chicken-terror for the owners. Hajnalka was told that no chicken was safe from her, and that even fences could not stop her from catching the coveted objects of her desire in large numbers. Zsömi is said to have suffered an epileptic seizure from sheer excitement, and so she had to leave the farm. Our colleague Andrea got to know Zsömi in Füle as a sociable and affectionate female dog in her prime. She gets along well with other dogs. However, she would not be happy with young, wild dogs, as they are simply too much for her. Zsömi clearly prefers relaxed and rather calm fellow dogs. Whether she was simply bored when she hunted, or whether she truly has a strongly pronounced prey drive, will likely become clear in Füle, where she can arrive in peace. She has not had an epileptic seizure since she has been in our care. One thing is certain: alongside her affectionate side, she also has quite a bit of spice in her. She needs people by her side who can guide her temperament and strong character. Along with basic training and clear, consistent leadership, keeping her body and mind occupied will certainly be among the top priorities here, especially since Zsömi currently carries a kilo or two too many. In an active, dog-experienced family that consciously wants to take on this task, Zsömi will surely become a loyal family member. Location: Füle (Hungary).

26.10.2026 Zsömi ist in Füle gut angekommen und wir können nun deutlich mehr über ihr Wesen berichten. Zu unserer Überraschung hat sie sich ganz anders entwickelt als ursprünglich vermutet. Hajnalka beschreibt sie als liebevolle Hündin, die auch gerne in Gesellschaft ist, allerdings bevorzugt sie eher ruhige Kameraden, wie beispielsweise Dani oder Jenny, die inzwischen in ihr neues zu Hause umgezogen ist. Seit Zsömi in Füle angekommen ist, hatte sie bisher einen epileptischen Anfall. Eine Shelter-Besucherin, die Zsömi gerade persönlich erleben konnte beschreibt sie, „…..als Fels in der Brandung. Sie läuft sehr entspannt an der Leine, kann sich zurücknehmen und hat ein ruhiges Wesen. Zsömi bildet einen wunderbaren Ruhepol. Sie genießt alle Streicheleinheiten, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein und sie ist mit den Kids (Ü 10 Jahre) sehr entspannt. Hier bekommt man einen Vischel, die ihr eigener Ruhepol ist.“ Sicher benötigt Zsömi Training, Führung und klare Aufgaben, denn so scheint sich ihr Jagdtrieb gut lenken zu lassen. Was scheinbar aber eben auch eine wichtige Rolle für sie spielt, ist ein Umfeld, dass sie in der inneren Ruhe lässt und ihr ein sicheres, Gefühl des gewollt seins gibt. 03.09.2026 Zsömi Charakterstarke Hündin mit klarem Auftrag an IHRE Menschen. Zsömi lebte bislang auf einem Hof in Ungarn, auf dem auch Hühner gehalten werden. Leider wurde sie für die Halter scheinbar zum Hühnerschreck. Man erzählte Hajnalka, dass kein Huhn vor ihr sicher wäre und auch Zäune sie nicht davon abhalten könnten, um die Objekte der Begierde zahlreich zu erlegen. Zsömi soll vor lauter Erregung einen epileptischen Anfall erlitten haben. So musste sie den Hof verlassen. Unsere Kollegin Andrea hat Zsömi in Füle als umgängliche und anhängliche Hündin im besten Alter kennengelernt. Sie ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden. Mit jungen, wilden Hunden würde sie allerdings nicht glücklich werden, die sind ihr einfach zu viel. Zsömi zieht eindeutig gelassene und eher ruhige Artgenossen vor. Ob sie aus purer Langeweile Beute gemacht oder tatsächlich einen so stark ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb hat, wird sich in Füle, wo sie in Ruhe ankommen darf, wohl zeigen. Einen epileptischen Anfall hatte sie, seit sie in unserer Obhut ist, nicht. Fest steht, neben ihrer anhänglichen Seite, hat sie auch ordentlich Paprika im Popo. Sie braucht Menschen an ihrer Seite, die ihr Temperament und ihren starken Charakter führen können. Neben der grundsätzlichen Ausbildung und klarer, konsequenter Führung, stehen hier die Auslastung von Körper und Geist sicher mit an erster Stelle. Auch, weil Zsömi momentan leider das ein oder andere Kilo zu viel hat. In einer aktiven, hundeerfahrenen Familie, die diese Aufgabe bewusst übernehmen möchte, wird Zsömi sicher zu einem treuen Familienmitglied. Aufenthaltsort: Füle (Ungarn).

About Zsömi

What life with Zsömi looks like

Zsömi is an adult vizsla dog waiting at Vizsla in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zsömi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zsömi?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Vizsla in Not 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Vizsla in Not e.V. whether they will for Zsömi, what they require (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 Zsömi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Vizsla in Not e.V. lists Zsömi as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Vizsla in Not e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Zsömi isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Vizsla in Not e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
