How do I contact the shelter about Anton?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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.

Adopt Anton

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

neutered: No yet, Anton is still too young (Born in December 2025) and is a small mixed-breed male dog that will eventually be medium-sized. Compatibility with others: Compatible with dogs and cats. Current location: animal shelter Daniela Lekova (Sofia, Bulgaria) Anton was born in December 2025 and is a small mixed-breed male dog that will eventually be medium-sized. He was found in the dead of winter at minus 15 degrees on a city cemetery in Bulgaria – with his siblings and his mother. It’s even more heartening to see how much life force is in him and how much he deserves a safe, warm home. Anton is just at the beginning and needs to learn the dog 1×1. For that, he’s looking for people who can show him how life in the new home works with patience, calm, and loving consistency, and who can give him the time to adjust at his own pace. Anton is compatible with dogs and cats and can fit well as a second dog or into a cat-friendly home depending on the personalities of the existing pets. As a puppy, he needs a reliable daily routine, age-appropriate mental stimulation, many phases of rest, and training in small steps. For Anton, we wish for a home that is aware that a puppy means time and effort – and that takes joy in accompanying him safely and lovingly into his life.

Kastriert: Noch zu jung Rasse: Mischling (Wird voraussichtlich mittelgroß) Verträglichkeit: Verträglich mit Hunden und Katzen. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Daniela Lekova (Sofia, Bulgarien) Anton wurde im Dezember 2025 geboren und ist ein kleiner Mischlingsrüde, der einmal mittelgroß werden wird. Er wurde im tiefsten Winter bei minus 15 Grad auf einem Stadtfriedhof in Bulgarien gefunden – zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern und seiner Mama. Umso schöner ist es zu sehen, wie viel Lebenswille in ihm steckt und wie sehr er jetzt die Chance auf ein sicheres, warmes Zuhause verdient. Anton steht noch ganz am Anfang und muss das Hunde-1×1 erst lernen. Dafür sucht er Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, wie das Leben im neuen Zuhause funktioniert, und die ihm die Zeit geben, in seinem Tempo anzukommen. Anton ist mit Hunden und Katzen verträglich und kann je nach Charakter der vorhandenen Tiere auch gut als Zweithund oder in einen Haushalt mit Katze passen. Als Welpe braucht er eine verlässliche Tagesstruktur, altersgerechte Beschäftigung, viele Ruhephasen und ein Training in kleinen Schritten. Für Anton wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, das sich bewusst ist, dass ein Welpe Zeit und Arbeit bedeutet – und das Freude daran hat, ihn sicher und liebevoll ins Leben zu begleiten.

About Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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.
