Adopt Beauty

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

compatible with other dogs, unsure with strangers, unsocial around people Our handsome Beauty has been with us for a while now. With people he knows, he’s wonderful: cuddly, funny, playful, silly, and cheerful. With strangers, however, he barks aggressively and doesn’t show his best side. He walks well on a leash, but he’s still very unsure, especially in unfamiliar places and depending on how well he knows the person at the end of the leash. Beauty still has a lot to learn and needs dog-experienced people who can guide him safely and are aware that he requires a lot of training and learning. People who are willing to give him the time to get to know them and give him the chance to be more than just the barking, standoffish dog, but also the Beauty we know, are what he needs. He’s not the dog for a family with children, but he’s a people-oriented dog with his whole life ahead of him, and he wants to start that with the right people. He’s well socialized with other dogs and is usually very compatible with them – a suitable only dog will be essential for Beauty as he looks to them for guidance and support. Whether he knows cats or gets along with them, we unfortunately can’t say. Anyone who would like to meet our handsome fellow can contact his handler.

verträglich mit anderen Hunden, unsicher mit fremden Menschen, alltagsunsicher Unser hübscher Beauty ist nun auch schon eine Weile bei uns. Mit Menschen, die er kennt ist er toll: verschmust, lustig, verspielt, albern und fröhlich. Fremde Menschen hingegen verbellt er massiv und zeigt sich da erstmal nicht von seiner besten Seite. Er läuft gut an der Leine, ist aber auch dort noch immer sehrunsicher, insbesondere in fremden Gegenden und je nachdem, wie gut er den Menschen am anderen Ende der Leine kennt. Beauty muss noch viel lernen und braucht hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihn sicher führen können und sich im Klaren darüber sind, dass er noch eine ganze Menge Training benötigt und viel lernen muss. Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, ihn in Ruhe kennenzulernen und ihm die Chance geben, nicht nur der bellende, auf Abstand bedachte Hund zu sein, sondern eben auch den Beauty, den wir hier kennen. Er ist nicht der Hund, der in eine Familie mit Kindern passt, aber schon ein menschenbezogener Kerl, der noch sein ganzes Leben vor sich hat und dies an der Seite der richtigen Menschen endlich beginnen will. Mit anderen Hunden ist er gut sozialisiert und meistens sehr gut verträglich - ein passender Ersthund wird für Beauty unabdingbar sein, da er sich dort viel abschaut und Unterstützung sucht. Ob er Katzen kennt und sich mit ihnen versteht, können wir leider nicht sagen. Wer unseren hübschen Kerl einmal kennenlernen möchte, kann sich gern einmal bei seiner Vermittlerin melden.

About Beauty

What life with Beauty looks like

Beauty is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

An 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 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 Beauty, answered.

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