Billo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Bianchina and her two golden children Birra and Billo were among the new arrivals that our partners Paola and Pierpaolo had promised to introduce us to during our project trip in late August 2026. Bianchina had lived with a shepherd, mostly confined to a small cage. No one could explain why. When she had babies, the shepherd wanted to get rid of them as quickly as possible. An animal rights activist found out and managed to find good homes for some of the babies. The mother and two of the babies remained. The activist then contacted our partners in Stintino, and so Bianchina, her daughter Birra, and son Billo came to the Rescue. As we were able to convince ourselves, the little family had already settled in well. Bianchina proved to be very friendly and approachable. Birra and Billo are typical puppies, lively, friendly, playful, and curious. As always, the Rescue is only a short stop for the little family, because a real home cannot replace it. We very much hope that Bianchina, Birra, and Billo will soon be able to travel to Germany to find their dream home here forever. Would you like to accompany Mama Bianchina, Birra, or Billo as a foster home on their way to a good future? Or would you like to take Bianchina, Birra, or Billo right into your family and give them the chance at a happy life with close family ties? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that an adoption not only brings a lot of joy, but also work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We mediate nationwide.

Während unserer Projektreise Ende August 2026 stand natürlich auch der Besuch im Rescue unserer Partner Paola und Pierpaolo auf dem Plan. Sie hatten schon angekündigt, dass sie uns einige Neuzugänge vorstellen wollten.Zu diesen Neuzugängen gehörten Bianchina und ihre beiden goldigen Kinder Birra und Billo. Bianchina hatte bei einem Schäfer gelebt. Meistens eingesperrt in einem kleinen Käfig. Warum, das konnte uns niemand erklären. Als sie dann Babys bekam, wollte der Schäfer so schnell wie möglich alle loswerden. Eine Tierschützerin erfuhr davon und schaffte es, für einige der Babys gute Zuhause zu finden. Die Mama und zwei Kleine blieben übrig. Die Tierschützerin wandte sich dann an unsere Partner in Stintino, und so kamen Bianchina, ihr Töchterchen Birra und Söhnchen Billo ins Rescue.Wie wir uns überzeugen konnten, hatte sich die kleine Familie schon gut eingelebt. Bianchina zeigte sich als sehr freundlich und zugewandt. Birra und Billo sind welpentypisch aufgeweckt, freundlich, verspielt und neugierig.Wie immer soll das Rescue auch für die kleine Familie nur eine kurze Zwischenstation sein, denn ein richtiges Zuhause kann es nicht ersetzen. Wir wünschen uns sehr, dass Bianchina, Birra und Billo bald nach Deutschland reisen können, um hier ihre Traumzuhause für immer zu finden.Möchten Sie Mama Bianchina, Birra oder Billo als Pflegestelle auf dem Weg in eine gute Zukunft begleiten? Oder möchten Sie Bianchina, Birra oder Billo gleich fest in Ihre Familie aufnehmen und so die Chance auf ein glückliches Leben mit engem Familienanschluss schenken?Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur sehr viel Freude bereitet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht.Wir vermitteln bundesweit.Ihre Ansprechpartnerin für diese

About Billo

What life with Billo looks like

Billo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

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 Billo, answered.

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