Alfons

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Alfons, born approximately September 2023, neutered, approximately 50 cm shoulder height, with Georgiana since 2023 This handsome dog was found by Georgiana on the street. He is a friendly male, compatible with other dogs and cats. He is currently with Georgiana - unfortunately with 200 other dogs and cats - and would love to be seen and adopted by animal-loving people. The handsome male dog is safe here, regularly fed, but of course, this is still not an appropriate life for him, as he needs attention, love, and education. Therefore, he should be placed with responsible people as soon as possible who will care for him lovingly and show him how beautiful life as a family dog can be. Currently in Romania and allowed to travel if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites upon arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

05/2024 Alfons, geboren ca. 09/2023, kastriert, ca. 50 cm Schulterhöhe, bei Georgiana seit 2023 Diese Schönheit wurde von Georgiana auf der Straße gefunden. Er ist ein freundlicher Rüde, verträglich mit anderen Hunden und Katzen. Momentan befindet er sich bei Georgiana - leider mit 200 anderen Hunden und Katzen - und möchte endlich von tierlieben Menschen gesehen und adoptiert werden. Das hübsche Hunde-Männchen ist hier zwar in Sicherheit, bekommt regelmäßig Futter, aber natürlich ist das trotzdem kein artgerechtes Hundeleben für ihn, denn er braucht Ansprache, Liebe und Erziehung. Deshalb sollte er so schnell wie möglich zu verantwortungsvollen Menschen vermittelt werden, die sich liebevoll um ihn kümmern und ihm zeigen, wie schön das Leben als Familienhund sein kann. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Alfons

What life with Alfons looks like

Alfons is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A young 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 Alfons, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alfons?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alfons on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alfons 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 Hope for Future e.V. whether they will for Alfons, 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 Alfons already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Hope for Future e.V. lists Alfons as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Hope for Future 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 Alfons isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Hope for Future 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 Alfons 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.
