BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Unfortunately, there are always unreliable providers who want to earn money through deceit. That's why it's important to carefully check the animal listing and the seller. Here are some signs that should make you suspicious: Useful information for a safe purchase of an animal: friendly, people-oriented, cuddly, playful, initially shy and insecure, family+, older children/youth+, male dogs+, female dogs+, cats+ In May 2026, a woman brought Brian, who was estimated to have been born in January 2025, to the animal shelter in her car. Brian sat very calmly in the footwell, as if it was his first time. However, the woman claimed to have found the male dog at the train station. Whether this is true or if she simply brought her own dog to the shelter, no one can verify, as Brian did not have a chip. Notably, he did not seem very afraid when on his owner's arm, but was very unsettled around the strangers around him. We suspect that more and more people are giving up their dogs due to the strained economic situation… But whatever the truth may be – not wanting to have a dog like Brian (any more) is completely unfathomable, as he is an extremely lovable, friendly, and people-oriented furball. He opens up more every day. Although he is still shy, he loves cuddles and is generally uncomplicated. He still needs to get used to harnesses and leashes, as they are still very unsettling to him at the moment.

Leider gibt es immer wieder unseriöse Anbieter, die mit Betrug Geld verdienen möchten. Deshalb ist es wichtig, das Tierinserat sowie den Verkäufer genau zu prüfen. Hier einige Hinweise, die dich misstrauisch machen sollten: Weitere nützliche Informationen zum sicheren Tierkauf Kurzinfo: freundlich, menschenbezogen, verschmust, verspielt, anfangs noch schüchtern & unsicher, Familie+, ältere Kinder/Jugendliche+, Rüden+, Hündinnen+, Katzen+ Anfang Mai 2026 brachte eine Frau den geschätzt im Januar 2025 geborenen Brian mit ihrem Auto ins Tierheim. Dieser saß ganz brav im Fußraum, als ob er das nicht zum 1. Mal machen würde. Die Frau aber behauptete, den Rüden am Bahnhof gefunden zu haben. Ob dies stimmt oder ob sie einfach nur ihren eigenen Hund ins Heim gebracht hat, kann keiner nachprüfen, denn Brian hatte auch keinen Chip. Auffällig war jedoch, dass er bei der Frau auf dem Arm nicht sehr ängstlich wirkte, später aber bei den fremden Menschen um ihn herum erst einmal doch sehr verunsichert war. Wir haben den Verdacht, dass immer mehr Leute aufgrund der angespannten wirtschaftlichen Lage ihre Hunde nicht mehr halten wollen oder können… Aber wie auch immer die Wahrheit ist – einen Hund wie Brian nicht (mehr) haben zu wollen, ist völlig unnachvollziehbar, ist er doch eine äußerst liebenswerte, freundliche und menschenbezogene Fellnase. Er öffnet sich jeden Tag mehr. Noch ist er zwar schüchtern, doch er liebt Streicheleinheiten und zeigt sich insgesamt unkompliziert. An Geschirr und Leine muss er sich noch gewöhnen, denn im Moment ist ihm das noch sehr unheimlich.

Frequently asked

Adopting BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Petsearch.ch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Petsearch.ch 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 BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg 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 BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg 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 Petsearch.ch early rather than rehoming privately; they know BRIAN, liebenswerter Hundebub, ca. 1 Jahr, 39cm, 8,1kg 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.
