Asco

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Asco, born approximately June 2024, neutered, approximately 50-55 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since November 2025 Asco is a black male dog who was found with an injury to his leg. He is a very sweet, friendly and playful dog - and very affectionate. He loves cuddles and attention, and enjoys every petting session to the fullest. Asco has an older fracture in his shoulder, which unfortunately can no longer be corrected. He walks normally, plays and runs too - only sometimes, when he moves awkwardly, it hurts him. Therefore, he will need ongoing consideration, including pain medication, and a home that respects his limits: a normal dog life is possible, but long, demanding hikes are not for him. He has a shortened tail. This does not cause any health problems. This does not make him ineligible to enter Switzerland. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave 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.

04/2026 Asco, geboren ca. 06/2024, kastriert, ca. 50-55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 11/2025 Asco ist ein schwarzer Rüde, der mit einer Verletzung am Bein gefunden wurde. Er ist ein richtig lieber Kerl: sanft, freundlich und verspielt – und dabei sehr anhänglich. Kuscheln und Zuwendung bedeuten ihm unheimlich viel, und er genießt jede Streicheleinheit in vollen Zügen. Bei Asco besteht ein älterer Bruch an der Schulter, der leider nicht mehr korrigiert werden kann. Er läuft ganz normal, spielt und rennt auch – nur manchmal, wenn er ungünstig auftritt, tut es ihm weh. Deshalb wird er dauerhaft Rücksicht brauchen, inklusive Schmerzmedikation, und ein Zuhause, das seine Grenzen respektiert: ein ganz normales Hundeleben ist möglich, nur lange, anspruchsvolle Wanderungen sind eher nichts für ihn. Er hat eine verkürzte Rute. Diese bereitet keinerlei gesundheitliche Beschwerden. Eine Einreise in die Schweiz ist dadurch nicht möglich. 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 Asco

What life with Asco looks like

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Asco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Asco?: 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 Asco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Asco 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 Asco 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 Asco 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 Asco 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.
