Anton

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

lieb, verträglich, etwas unsicher Der kleine Anton ist seiner Mutter Ruth gefolgt, die bereits ihre Familie gefunden hat, und hat sich auf die weite Reise aus der Smeura in Rumänien zu uns gemacht. Er ist ein niedlicher kleiner Kerl, dem die Herzen nur so zufliegen. In seinem bisherigen Leben hat er bislang leider noch gar nichts kennenlernen dürfen und macht jetzt hier bei uns erste Schritte in sein neues Leben ohne eine Ahnung davon zu haben, wie große die Welt, die sich außerhalb unserer Auffangstation befindet, wirklich ist. Anton ist manchmal noch etwas zurückhaltend und unsicher, aber er ist auch durchaus meinungsstark und weiß sich durchzusetzen oder seine Empörung lauthals kundzutun, wenn ihm etwas nicht gefällt ;- ) Er ist noch schnell überfordert, wenn so viele neue Eindrücke auf ihn einprasseln, aber er hat bereits gelernt, dass wir Menschen ihm Schutz geben und das Kuscheln etwas richtig schönes ist. Für Anton suchen wir nun hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm nicht nur die Welt zeigen, sondern auch, was Regeln und Leitplanken im Leben sind. Er ist lustig und sehr niedlich und weiß noch nicht, was ein menschlicher Alltag ist, geschweige denn, dass er stubenrein ist. Gegen einen vorhandenen Hundefreund wäre gar nichts einzuwenden, Katzen kennt er bisher nicht. Vorhandene Kinder sollten sich bereits im Teenageralter befinden.

About Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Anton, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Anton?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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.
