Adopt Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Bruno and his brother were secured by a veterinary office. The two had spent their lives with over forty other dogs in a tight space. When the two arrived at our shelter, they could not be touched. They had no experience with human body contact and were also very reserved. Often, this is normal for herding dogs. We gave them time to adjust and were able to build a good relationship with them. His brother was allowed to move to an experienced foster home and is learning what life in a house is like. Bruno is still waiting at the animal shelter for his appropriate home. Bruno is now already very large and currently tips the scales at just under 60 kilograms. He has a shoulder height of around 75 cm. Finding an appropriate home for Bruno is not so easy. He is definitely not suitable for apartment living. We are looking for a home with a large property where he can also be watched. We can also present him as a "guard dog" with another dog and family connection. Bruno will not be rehomed as a single dog to a property. His brother is doing wonderfully in the house! Bruno will also learn this, and nothing speaks against it. Bruno sits here in a rotating dog group and has no problem with his fellow animals. He is the "big" one in school, and fine motor skills do not come easily to him. Not yet! Therefore, no small dogs or small children should live in the new family. Currently, we are practicing his lead training diligently. He is trying to understand how communication between dog and human should take place. We are no longer thinking of him as a "windsock." Bruno still has a lot to learn; he is still a "young" rough diamond with great potential.

Bruno und sein Bruder wurden von einem Veterinäramt sichergestellt. Die beiden haben ihr Leben mit über vierzig weiteren Hunden auf enger Fläche verbracht. Als die beiden bei uns angekommen sind, konnte man sie nicht anfassen. Sie kannten keinerlei Körperkontakt zu Menschen und waren auch sehr reserviert. Oft ist das für Herdenschutzhunde erst mal normal. Wir haben sie ankommen lassen und konnten so eine gute Beziehung aufbauen. Sein Bruder durfte auf eine erfahrene Pflegestelle umziehen und lernt das Leben im Haus kennen. Bruno wartet hier im Tierheim auf sein geeignetes Zuhause. Bruno ist jetzt schon sehr groß und bringt aktuell knapp 60 Kilo auf die Waage. Er hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 75 cm. Ein geeignetes Zuhause für Bruno zu finden, ist gar nicht so einfach. Für eine reine Wohnungshaltung ist er definitiv nicht geeignet. Wir suchen ein Zuhause mit großem Grundstück, wo er auch bewachen darf. Wir können ihn uns auch als "Wachhund" mit einem weiteren Hund und Familienanschluss vorstellen. Bruno wird aber nicht als Einzelhund auf ein Grundstück vermittelt. Sein Bruder macht sich im Haus wunderbar! Auch Bruno wird das lernen, dem spricht nichts entgegen. Bruno sitzt hier in einer wechselnden Hundegruppe und hat kein Problem mit seinen Artgenossen. Er ist der "große" in der Schule, Feinmotorik liegt ihm nicht sehr. Noch nicht! Daher sollten keine kleinen Hunde oder kleine Kinder in der neuen Familie wohnen. Aktuell üben wir fleißig an der Leinenführigkeit. Er versucht gerade zu verstehen, wie eine Kommunikation zwischen Hund und Mensch stattfinden sollte. Von dem Menschen als "Fähnchen im Wind" sind wir weggekommen. Bruno muss noch einiges lernen, er ist noch ein "kleiner" Rohdiamant mit großem Potenzial.

About Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023

What life with Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 looks like

Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald in Erbach.

An 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 Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald 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, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 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, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 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 TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruno, m, kastriert, geb. 10-2023 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.
