Adopt Bónus

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

The lovely Bónus has unfortunately not yet experienced much beauty in his life. Nevertheless, he has a kind and open nature and is a very friendly and lively male dog. His special feature is the light tip on his shortened tail. His new family should like to be active and enjoy varied activities with this agile four-legged friend - because, like a typical terrier, this young pup is full of energy. Children living in the household should be at least 10 years old. Who still has a dog bed available and wants to give this lovely dog a home for life? Luck for Paws e.V. - The way into a new life - Phone and email: including safety harness. As we are employed, we may get back to you after some hours. It is best to contact the above-mentioned mediator first in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a call back (don't forget to mention your phone number if necessary). Please be patient! Our animals travel with Traces and are only rehomed throughout Germany. Therefore, if you would like to apply for a dog and you are renting, please arrange a written confirmation from your landlord that keeping a (further or new) dog is allowed. We place dogs, provided there is no elevator, up to the 2nd floor, to prevent health limitations.

Der hübsche Bónus durfte in seinem Leben leider noch nicht viel Schönes kennenlernen. Trotzdem hat er ein liebes und aufgeschlossenes Wesen und ist ein sehr freundlicher und lebhafter Rüde. Sein besonderes Merkmal ist die helle Spitze an seiner verkürzten Rute. Seine neue Familie sollte gerne aktiv unterwegs sein und Freude an abwechslungsreichen Beschäftigungen mit dem agilen Vierbeiner haben – denn in typischer Terrier-Manier steckt die junge Fellnase voller Energie. Im Haushalt lebende Kinder sollten bereits 10 Jahre alt sein. Wer hat noch ein Körbchen frei und schenkt dem lieben Hundemann ein Zuhause fürs Leben?

About Bónus

What life with Bónus looks like

Bónus is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

An 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 Bónus, answered.

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