Trufito

Shar Pei · Male · Young · 1 year

Update foster home: Trufito is an open, intelligent, and playful male dog. He loves children, is absolutely everyday-friendly, and shows no fear of noises. He also gets along well with small animals like rabbits. His favorite spot is in the sun, where he enjoys himself. What Trufito is particularly good at: opening doors – in both directions ;-) In dealing with other dogs, he is very communicative: he challenges them to play with loud barking. This is often perceived as intrusive by fellow animals, which is why they sometimes growl him away. During play, he uses body language with his teeth, which can be misinterpreted by laypeople as aggression. However, he is not aggressive but simply inexperienced in polite dog behavior. His only flaw is his bladder weakness, which is more pronounced under stress. This is, however, treatable and is already being addressed. How hard can fate be? Trufito has unfortunately been hit hard by fate. He was found on the street, an neighbor secured him and temporarily cared for him. Here, he got some food and became more familiar. Unfortunately, the lady decided to drive the friendly Trufito to the Perrera in Galicien and give him up there. Trufito now doesn't understand the world anymore; he is in the cold and lonely yard, waiting again for his rescue. Trufito is an incredibly loving and friendly dog, human-oriented, and also very young. We assume Trufito is just one year old. He is about knee-high, weighs around 15 kilos, and is a curious and sociable dog. It appears that something Podenco is mixed into the sweet mix. What Trufito has experienced or learned in his previous life, we cannot judge. Therefore, Trufito will likely need to learn a few lessons in a dog training class. The everyday life outside the yard will also be new to him, and he will need support and time to find his footing completely. But with the right people by his side, he will make progress quickly. Trufito deserves a chance at a new home. If you would like to help Trufito, please write us an email. If Trufito travels from Spain, he is vaccinated, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, has all veterinary pre-examinations, a negative Mediterranean test, and an EU passport. P.S.: A dog often behaves differently in an animal shelter than in its new home – setbacks are not uncommon. It requires a lot of love and patience from his new family, but especially enough time to settle in. Please adopt only if you are aware of this and willing to take responsibility for his life.

Update Pflegestelle: Trufito ist ein aufgeschlossener, intelligenter und verspielter Rüde. Er liebt Kinder, ist absolut alltagstauglich und zeigt keine Angst bei Geräuschen. Auch mit Kleintieren wie Kaninchen kommt er problemlos zurecht. Am liebsten liegt er in der Sonne und genießt. Was Trufito besonders gut kann: Türen öffnen – in beide Richtungen ;-) Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden ist er sehr kommunikationsfreudig: Er fordert sie mit lautem Bellen zum Spielen auf. Das wird von Artgenossen aber oft als aufdringlich empfunden, weshalb sie ihn wegknurren. Beim Spielen setzt er seine Zähne körpersprachlich ein, was von Laien leicht als Aggression missverstanden werden kann. Er ist aber nicht bissig, sondern unerfahren im höflichen Hundeumgang. Sein einziges Manko ist seine Blasenschwäche, die bei Stress ausgeprägter ist. Sie ist aber therapierbar und wird auch schon behandelt. Wie hart kann einen das Schicksal treffen? Trufito hat leider das Schicksal richtig hart getroffen. Er wurde auf der Straße gefunden, eine Anwohnerin konnte ihn sichern und betreute ihn kurzzeitig. Hier bekam er etwas zu essen und wurde vertrauter. Leider entschied sich die Dame dafür, den freundlichen Trufito in die Perrera in Galicien zu fahren und ihn dort abzugeben. Trufito versteht nun die Welt nicht mehr, er sitzt nun in dem kalten und einsamen Zwinger und wartet erneut auf seine Rettung. Trufito ist ein unglaublich liebevoller und freundlicher Hund, der menschbezogen ist und zudem noch sehr jung ist. Wir gehen davon aus, Trufito ist gerade einmal 1 Jahr alt. Er ist etwa kniehoch, wiegt um die 15 Kilo und ist ein neugieriger und umgänglicher Hund. Augenscheinlich steckt etwas Podenco in dem süßen Mix. Was Trufito in seinem bisherigen Leben alles erlebt bzw kennengelernt hat, können wir nicht beurteilen. Daher wird Trufito sicherlich noch ein paar Lektionen in einer Hundeschule erlernen müssen. Auch der Alltag außerhalb des Zwingers wird für ihn neu sein und er wird hier etwas Unterstützung und Zeit benötigen, um sich hier völlig entspannt zurecht zu finden. Aber sicherlich mit den richtigen Menschen an seiner Seite wird er sehr schnell Fortschritte erzielen. Trufito hat eine Chance auf ein neues Zuhause verdient, wenn Sie Trufito dabei unterstützen möchten, schreiben Sie uns bitte eine E-Mail. Wenn Trufito aus Spanien ausreist ist er geimpft, kastriert, entwurmt, gechipt, hat alle tierärztlichen Voruntersuchungen und einen negativen Mittelmeertest sowie einen EU Ausweis. P.S.: Ein Hund zeigt sich im Tierheim oft anders als dann im neuen Zuhause - Rückschritte sind nicht unüblich. Es bedarf viel Liebe und Geduld von seiner neuen Familie, aber vor allem genügend Zeit um richtig anzukommen. Bitte adoptiert nur, wenn Ihr Euch dessen bewusst seid und bereit seid, sein Leben lang für ihn Verantwortung zu tragen.

About Trufito

What life with Trufito looks like

Trufito is a medium-sized young adult shar pei dog waiting at Hundehoffnung-Berlin in Germany.

An 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. 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 Trufito, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Trufito?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehoffnung-Berlin handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Trufito on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Trufito if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehoffnung-Berlin 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 Trufito 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 Trufito 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 Hundehoffnung-Berlin early rather than rehoming privately; they know Trufito 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.
