Bruno

Mixed Breed · Female

Bruno's former owner could be persuaded to surrender him to the veterinary office due to non-compliance with housing conditions. He needs help and must sort his life out. Bruno did not have the ideal living conditions, but surely, if the owner was physically able, he could have had a loving home. Bruno is soaking up his new life, enjoying every moment of affection, radiating joy, and when it comes to walking, it's hard to keep him on four legs. Besides the housing conditions, the upbringing has also definitely been lacking. And when a 30-40 kg dog is extremely excited, patience and nerves are required, along with a few potty breaks, because even leash walking needs to be learned. We are currently trying this, and now Bruno is also going for walks with selected people. He is an embodiment of joy and energy, the lovable Rotti that breed enthusiasts appreciate. He is the ultimate rough diamond. He learns quickly, he wants to learn everything as fast as possible. And cuddling. And playing. And running around. And finally arriving… within the shortest time, he has adapted to our routines. Practicing sitting still and waiting… tying him up, eating… is difficult, but it's slowly getting better…he immediately responds when corrected while being pulled on the leash. During regular outings, he tries to keep his pen clean, which is already working quite well. He doesn't snarl at his dog neighbors and doesn't get into bickering. He might also be matched with a confident female dog that is already well-trained. We wish for Bruno a house with a garden, but this is not a condition. Children should be stable, dog-experienced, and understand his temperament. Dog experience is desirable, and a visit to dog training classes should be a given. We are convinced that whoever invests time, training, play, sports, and fun with Bruno will receive a lovable and absolutely cuddly Rottweiler… he just needs a little more time, patience, and a good temperament in the initial phase.

Brunos Vorbesitzer konnte vom Veterinäramt zur Abgabe bewegt werden, da die Haltungsbedingungen nicht erfüllt werden konnten. Er benötigt selbst Hilfe und muss sein Leben neu sortieren. Bruno hatte nicht die idealen Haltebedingungen, aber bestimmt hatte er wenn es dem Halter gesundheitlich möglich war, ein liebevolles Zuhause. Bruno saugt sein neues Leben förmlich auf, er genießt jeden Moment der Zuwendung, sprüht vor Lebensfreude und wenn es los geht, hält es ihn nur schwer auf vier Beinen. Neben den Umständen der Haltung ist hier auch die Erziehung definitiv zu kurz gekommen. Und wenn 30-40 Kilo sich wahnsinnig freuen, dann sind Geduld und Nerven gefragt .neben ein paar Muckis, denn auch das Leinelaufen will gelernt sein. Das versuchen wir gerade, mit ausgewählten Menschen geht Bruno nun endlich auch Gassi. Er ist ein Ausbund an Lebensfreude und Energie, er ist der liebenswerte Rotti, den Rassefans schätzen. Er ist der ultimative Rohdiamant. Er lernt schnell, er möchte unbedingt noch mehr ganz schnell lernen. Und Kuscheln. Und Spielen. Und Toben. Und endlich ankommen… binnen kürzester Zeit hat er sich an unsere Abläufe gewöhnt. Er übt das still sitzen und warten.. vorm anleinen, vorm fressen.. ist schwer, wird aber so langsam…er reagiert sofort, korrigiert man ihn beim Ziehen an der Leine. Bei regelmäßigen Ausflügen ins Freie bemüht er sich gerade, seinen Zwinger sauber zu halten, was schon recht gut funktioniert. Er stänkert nicht mit seinen Hundenachbarn und lässt sich nicht auf Pöbeleien ein. Bestimmt kann man ihn auch zu einer souveränen Hündin vermitteln, welche schon gut erzogen ist. Wir wünschen uns für Bruno Haus mit Garten, das ist aber nicht Bedingung. Kinder sollten standfest sein und hundeerfahren, sowie Verständnis haben für sein Temperament. Hundeerfahrung ist wünschenswert, der besuch einer Hundeschule sollte selbstverständlich sein. Wir sind überzeugt, wer in Bruno Zeit, Training, Spiel, Sport und Spaß investiert, bekommt einen liebenswerten und absolut verkuschelten Rottweiler…er brauch nur noch etwas Zeit, Geduld und ein gutes Nervenkostüm der Interessenten in der Startphase…

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Bruno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Schkortitz 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 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 Schkortitz 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.
