Anton

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Anton, born approximately 2020, neutered, large, in the shelter since 05/2025 Anton is one of our long-term residents and has been living here for many years. For a long time, he was very depressed and spent most of his days lying in his doghouse. That's why Julia decided to take him home and give him the chance at a different, better life. Anton generally gets along well with other dogs, but would probably also feel very comfortable in a home where he is not surrounded by many other dogs. He doesn't necessarily need other dogs and really enjoys having peace and quiet and being close to his humans. Unfortunately, Anton has problems with one of his front legs and limps when walking. A veterinary examination found that he had suffered an old fracture that, together with arthritis, has led to irreversible changes. This has of course also reduced his chances of finding a new home, as many people are looking for a dog that can accompany them on long walks and hiking adventures. But despite everything, Anton is a cheerful and lively dog. He can run and enjoys life. We are looking for a home for him where he is not expected to take long or demanding walks or get excessive exercise - a home where he can simply live at his own pace. Anton is a big dog. He loves to be cuddled and brushed and enjoy the closeness of his humans. He is a loving and gentle companion who doesn't need much to be happy: a quiet home, loving people and someone who accepts and loves him as he is. What he wants most is finally a home of his own and a person or family where he can really feel like he belongs. If you are looking for a quiet dog who has a lot of love to give, Anton is the right one for you. Located in Romania and can be adopted if a home is found. Travels with microchip and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites on arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The behavioral observations described 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:

09/2026 Anton, geboren ca. 2020, kastriert, groß, im Shelter seit 05/2025 Anton ist einer unserer Langzeitbewohner und lebt schon seit vielen Jahren hier. Lange Zeit war er sehr niedergeschlagen und verbrachte den Großteil seiner Tage liegend in seiner Hundehütte. Deshalb beschloss Julia, ihn zu sich zu holen und ihm die Chance auf ein anderes, besseres Leben zu geben. Anton versteht sich im Allgemeinen gut mit anderen Hunden, würde sich aber wahrscheinlich auch in einem Zuhause sehr wohlfühlen, in dem er nicht von vielen anderen Hunden umgeben ist. Er braucht nicht unbedingt andere Hunde und genießt es sehr, Ruhe und Frieden zu haben und seinen Menschen nahe zu sein. Leider hat Anton Probleme mit einem seiner Vorderbeine und humpelt beim Laufen. Bei einer tierärztlichen Untersuchung wurde festgestellt, dass er eine alte Fraktur erlitten hatte, die zusammen mit Arthritis zu irreversiblen Veränderungen geführt hat. Das hat natürlich auch seine Chancen auf ein neues Zuhause verringert, da viele Menschen einen Hund suchen, der sie auf langen Spaziergängen und Wanderabenteuern begleiten kann. Aber trotz allem ist Anton ein fröhlicher und lebenslustiger Hund. Er kann laufen und genießt das Leben. Wir suchen ein Zuhause für ihn, in dem nicht von ihm erwartet wird, dass er lange oder anspruchsvolle Wanderungen unternimmt oder übermäßig viel Bewegung bekommt – ein Zuhause, in dem er einfach in seinem eigenen Tempo leben kann. Anton ist ein großer Hund. Er liebt es, geknuddelt und gebürstet zu werden und die Nähe seiner Menschen zu genießen. Er ist ein liebevoller und sanfter Begleiter, der nicht viel braucht, um glücklich zu sein: ein ruhiges Zuhause, liebevolle Menschen und jemanden, der ihn so akzeptiert und liebt, wie er ist. Was er sich am meisten wünscht, ist endlich ein eigenes Zuhause und eine Person oder Familie, bei der er sich wirklich zugehörig fühlen kann. Wer einen ruhigen Hund sucht, der viel Liebe zu geben hat, ist bei Anton genau richtig. 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 Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Anton, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anton?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this 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 Anton on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Anton if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Anton 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 Anton 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Anton 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.
