Badges

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Badges, born approximately April 2023, neutered, approximately 60-65 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since September 2023. Badges and his siblings were given up with their mother Masha because the owners did not want puppies and planned to dispose of them. They initially went to a foster family and finally to Maria. Three of Badges' siblings have already moved out, he and his brother Popeye are still looking for a home. Unfortunately, Badges has become one of our emergencies. The handsome fellow has lived freely in front of the shelter for the last few months, but now he had to be locked up to avoid being injured or killed by the guard dogs of the incoming shepherds. After such a long time in freedom, it is terrible for the dogs to be locked up in kennels again, but unfortunately we have no other way to protect them. Badges is a rather relaxed, pleasant, not too wild fellow who seeks and likes contact with humans, but is more reserved than pushy. It is currently not possible to put a collar and leash on him, a harness is not possible at all. Therefore, Badges needs experienced people who can teach him in peace and without pressure what a dog in our civilized world has to be able to do - or leave him as he is. This also includes an appropriate living situation, which does not force him to go straight out. Currently 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 on 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:

05/2025 Badges, geboren ca. 04/2023, kastriert, ca. 60-65 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 09/2023 Badges und seine Geschwister wurden zusammen mit ihrer Mutter Masha abgegeben, da die Besitzer keine Welpen wollten und vorhatten diese zu entsorgen. Sie kamen zunächst in eine Pflegefamilie und schließlich zu Maria. Drei von Badges Geschwistern konnten schon ausziehen, er und sein Bruder Popeye suchen noch ein Zuhause. Leider ist Badges zu einem unserer Notfälle geworden. Der hübsche Kerl hat die letzten Monate frei vor dem Shelter gelebt, doch nun musste er eingesperrt werden, um nicht von den Herdenschutzhunden der ankommenden Hirten verletzt oder getötet zu werden. Nach so langer Zeit in Freiheit ist es schrecklich für die Hunde, wieder in Zwingern eingesperrt zu sein, doch leider haben wir keine andere Möglichkeit um sie zu schützen. Badges ist ein recht entspannter, angenehmer, nicht allzu wilder Zeitgenosse, der den Kontakt zum Menschen sucht und mag, aber dennoch eher zurückhaltend als aufdringlich ist. Es ist momentan nicht möglich ihm ein Halsband und eine Leine anzulegen, ein Geschirr ist erst recht nicht möglich. Daher braucht Badges erfahrene Menschen, die ihm in Ruhe und ohne Druck beibringen was ein Hund in unserer zivilisierten Welt so können muss - oder ihn so sein lassen wie er ist. Dazu gehört auch eine entsprechende Wohnsituation, durch die er nicht gezwungen ist, direkt Gassi zu gehen. 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:

What life with Badges looks like

Badges is a large 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. 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 Badges, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Badges?

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 Badges on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Badges 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 Badges 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 Badges 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 Badges 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.
