Bruno

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Bruno is a friendly and laid-back fellow. He knows basic obedience, is leash-trained, and at first glance, he seems like the perfect dog. But: Other dogs make his life difficult. He simply doesn't like them and the contact puts him over the edge. Currently, he can be brought out of his tunnel vision if you react in time and handle him well. For people, he is even better, friendly, cuddly, wanting to please, and a quiet companion in the house. An ideal location would be one where another dog isn't around every corner. To walk with Bruno, a certification of knowledge is required. Requirements in Schleswig-Holstein: • Certification of knowledge (obtained through a successful theoretical and practical certification exam with the dog considered dangerous by authorities) various dog schools offer this. • Temporary certification of knowledge (for 3 months) a community can apply for a temporary permit so that you can train for the practical exam with this dog. • Training certificate (for those 18 years old, personal suitability, and required reliability) • Permission from the relevant authority • Muzzle and leash requirements (not on one's own property, but the property must be secured so the dog cannot escape) • Proof of liability insurance completion • Microchip identification (completed by the animal shelter) "Resocialization" possible: If dogs have become problematic (bitten a person or another animal, or behaved uncontrollably) the classification as a dangerous dog can be rescinded after 2 years if the dogs have successfully passed a behavioral assessment and have been evaluated by a specialist in behavior or therapy.

Bruno ist ein freundlicher und gemächlicher Kerl. Er kennt die Grunderziehung, ist leinenführig, also auf den ersten Blick ein perfekter Hund. Aber: Andere Hunde machen ihm das Leben schwer. Er mag sie einfach nicht und der Kontakt auf Abstand lässt bei ihm die Sicherung durchbrennen. Mittlerweile ist er aus seinem Tunnelblick gut herauszuholen, wenn man rechtzeitig reagiert und ihn gut führt. Dafür ist er mit Menschen umso besser, freundlich, verschmust, will gefallen, im Haus ein ruhiger Zeitgenosse. Ideal wäre eine Gegend, in der nicht an jeder Ecke ein anderer Hund spazieren geht. Um mit Bruno Gassi zugehen wird ein Sachkundenachweis benötigt. Auflagen in Schleswig-Holstein:• Sachkundenachweis (die Sachkunde wird durch die erfolgreiche Ablegung einer theoretischen und praktischen Sachkundeprüfung mit dem als gefährlich eingestuften Hund erworben) verschiedene Hundeschulen bieten diesen an.• vorläufigen Sachkundenachweis (für 3 Monate) es kann eine vorläufige Genehmigung von der Gemeinde beantragt werden, sodass man mit diesem Hund für die praktische Prüfung trainieren kann.• Führungszeugnis (18 Jahre alt, persönliche Eignung und erforderliche Zuverlässigkeit)• Erlaubnis der zuständigen Behörde• Maulkorb – und Leinenzwang (auf dem eigenen Grundstück nicht, allerdings muss das Grundstück so gesichert sein, dass der Hund nicht ausbrechen kann.• Nachweis über den Abschluss einer Haftpflichtversicherung• Kennzeichnung durch einen Microchip (Erledigt durch das Tierheim) „Resozialisierung“ möglich:Sind Hunde einmal auffällig geworden (Mensch oder Tier gebissen haben/ oder unkontrolliert gehetzt oder gerissen hat) dann kann die Einstufung als gefährlicher Hund nach 2 Jahren zurückgenommen werden, wenn die Hunde erfolgreich einen Wesenstest bestanden haben und sie durch einen Fachtierarzt für Verhaltenskunde beziehungsweise -Therapie begutachtet worden sind.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bruno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruno on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bruno if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bruno 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 Bruno 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 Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruno 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.
