In the run-up to an adoption some questions may arise, for which there are no immediate answers (e.g., whether a dog gets along with cats or smaller animals, has a hunting instinct, or barks a lot, etc.) These are things that cannot really be conclusively evaluated in an animal shelter. In addition, the behaviour of any dog can change temporarily when it is in an unfamiliar environment. We can only give you the information about a dog that we receive from the shelter, i.e., the way the dog behaves there.
After a positive interview is concluded, we will mail you our personal disclosure questionnaire, which must be filled out and returned. Once we have received it, we will contact you again.
Once the path to adoption is clear, you have two procedure options to choose from (in cases where the dog is residing in one of our Hungarian shelters):
1) You can visit the dog in the animal shelter to meet the dog in person. If a mutual rapport is evident, you can bring the dog back home with you on the same day. The adoption will be finalized on site with the signing of the protection contract and payment of your portion of the expenses.
2) You have already definitely decided to adopt the dog/cat, we will bring the dog/cat – on a Saturday – to our adoption center in Hegyeshalom (Hungarian side of the border at Nickelsdorf), where you can pick up the dog on the same day. The adoption will be finalized on site with the signing of the protection contract and payment of your portion of the expenses.
In cases where the dog already resides in one of our foster homes in Austria, we will provide the contact information of the foster family, so that you can arrange an appointment. The adoption will be finalized with the signing of the protection contract and payment of your portion of the expenses, either on site or transacted through us.
