And Bruno's story is definitely one of them. Bruno was left behind in a tiny village where only a few, mostly older people live. Nobody really knew what to do with the big four-legged guy. But then a very special villager came into play: an older lady who took care of Bruno together with the other residents of the village. At first, of course, friendship had to be made. But Bruno made it easy for the people. Gradually, he gained the trust of the older villagers and became a four-legged member of the small village community for a few days. Finally, the lady even took Bruno in the car so that he could be brought to safety. And he mastered that wonderfully too! What makes Bruno stand out? His incredible calmness! Although he is a handsome fellow himself, he is not bothered at all by smaller dogs. Even if they bark at him or make a big fuss, Bruno remains friendly and calm. Instead of getting provoked, he seems to prefer to wait until the excitement is over. He has also shown himself to be particularly lovable towards people so far. A friendly, gentle dog who, despite his size, apparently has no need to prove himself all the time. We wish Bruno a home with people who appreciate his calm, friendly nature and give him the security that has been missing so far. Due to his size, of course, there should be enough space available. A home in a rather quiet environment, preferably on the outskirts or in the countryside, would be wonderful. People who enjoy long walks, shared activities and a large four-legged companion could find a loyal friend in Bruno. A whole village has closed Bruno in its heart for a few days. Now he is missing only one place where he can stay forever. Who will give our gentle giant a home? .fusion-body .fusion-button Interested in an adoption?

Und Brunos Geschichte gehört definitiv dazu. Bruno wurde in einem winzigen Dorf zurückgelassen, in dem nur noch wenige, überwiegend ältere Menschen leben. Niemand wusste so recht, wohin mit dem großen Vierbeiner. Doch dann kam eine ganz besondere Dorfbewohnerin ins Spiel: eine ältere Dame, die sich gemeinsam mit den anderen Bewohnern des Dorfes um Bruno kümmerte. Anfangs musste natürlich erst einmal Freundschaft geschlossen werden. Aber Bruno machte es den Menschen leicht. Nach und nach gewann er das Vertrauen der älteren Dorfbewohner und wurde für einige Tage praktisch zum vierbeinigen Mitglied der kleinen Dorfgemeinschaft. Schließlich nahm die Dame Bruno sogar im Auto mit, damit er in Sicherheit gebracht werden konnte. Und auch das meisterte er ganz wunderbar! Was Bruno besonders auszeichnet? Seine unglaubliche Gelassenheit! Obwohl er selbst ein stattlicher Kerl ist, lässt er sich von kleineren Hunden überhaupt nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Selbst wenn diese ihn anbellen oder ordentlich Theater veranstalten, bleibt Bruno freundlich und gelassen. Statt sich provozieren zu lassen, scheint er lieber abzuwarten, bis die Aufregung vorüber ist. Auch Menschen gegenüber hat er sich bislang von seiner besonders liebenswerten Seite gezeigt. Ein freundlicher, sanfter Hund, der trotz seiner Größe offenbar überhaupt nicht das Bedürfnis hat, sich ständig beweisen zu müssen. Für Bruno wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die seine ruhige, freundliche Art zu schätzen wissen und ihm die Sicherheit geben, die ihm bisher gefehlt hat. Aufgrund seiner Größe sollte natürlich ausreichend Platz vorhanden sein. Ein Zuhause in einer eher ruhigen Umgebung, gerne am Stadtrand oder ländlich, wäre wunderbar. Menschen, die Freude an ausgiebigen Spaziergängen, gemeinsamer Beschäftigung und einem großen vierbeinigen Begleiter haben, könnten in Bruno einen treuen Freund finden. Ein ganzes Dorf hat Bruno für ein paar Tage ins Herz geschlossen. Jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch ein einziger Ort, an dem er für immer bleiben darf. Wer schenkt unserem sanften Riesen ein Zuhause? .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bruno, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bruno?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Nordic Strays e.V. 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. whether they will for Bruno, what they require (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?: Nordic Strays e.V. lists Bruno as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Nordic Strays e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bruno isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
