Bruno

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

More information will follow! If you have questions and are seriously interested, please contact the adoption officer directly by email. We all love the little clownfish Nemo, not least because of his slightly smaller "lucky fin." Bruno has a lucky ear. We don't know if the funny pointer had an accident as a puppy, if an animal abuser cut off his ear, or if he was born that way. But we do know that Bruno's ear causes him no problems and makes this feature only make him more special. The beautiful pointer nose has kept our friends from Puntanimals quite busy. When the call came that a dog with a missing ear was wandering through a forest near Huelva, they naturally hurried to find the supposedly seriously injured four-legged animal. But Bruno was not injured, but instead was not seeking contact with people, agile and clever - and the animal welfare workers had to dig deep into their trick bag to secure him and bring him to the animal shelter. Once arrived at the shelter, Bruno immediately showed his lively and lovable character, made friends with the other dogs and just as much with the two-legged helpers and visitors in the small facility. Bruno is only one and a half years old (as of 03/2023) and is already balanced and calm. He moves confidently in the pack and has never stood out through rowdy behavior, which would be typical for his age. His greatest joy is when one of the animal welfare workers finds the time to take him for a walk. Bruno explores his environment with curiosity and naturally loves to use his hunting dog nose to find out the latest news from the neighborhood. Although Bruno is nice and sociable, he is a young and cheerful hunting dog. Therefore, we are looking for a family that likes to be outdoors, wants to actively engage with their dog, has breed experience or is willing to take Bruno to dog training classes. If you are looking for a personal trainer, a highly motivated companion for walks and hikes, a talented hot water bottle for cozy evenings in front of the TV, and of course simply the best friend - well, you are at the right address with Bruno and should contact us as soon as possible to find out how the lovable charmer can win over the hearts and comfortable furniture in his new home in the shortest time possible.

Wir alle lieben den kleinen Clownfisch Nemo, nicht zuletzt wegen seiner etwas kleineren „Glücksflosse“. Bruno hat ein Glücksohr. Wir wissen nicht, ob der lustige Pointer als Welpe einen Unfall hatte, ob ihm ein Tierquäler das Ohr abgeschnitten hat oder ob er schon so geboren wurde. Aber wir wissen, dass Brunos Ohr ihm keinerlei Probleme bereitet und dieses Merkmal ihn nur noch besonderer macht. Die schöne Pointernase hat unsere Freunde von Puntanimals ganz schön auf Trab gehalten. Als der Anruf kam, dass ein Hund mit einem fehlenden Ohr durch ein Wäldchen in der Nähe von Huelva irren würde, beeilte man sich natürlich, den vermeintlich schwerverletzten Vierbeiner zu finden. Aber Bruno war nicht verletzt, dafür aber nicht auf Kontakt mit Menschen aus, flink und clever – und die Tierschützer mussten tief in ihre Trickkiste greifen, um ihn sichern und ins Tierheim bringen zu können. Dort angekommen zeigte Bruno aber gleich seinen aufgeweckten und liebenswerten Charakter, schloss Freundschaft mit den anderen Hunden und nicht minder mit den zweibeinigen Helfern und Besuchern in der kleinen Einrichtung. Bruno ist erst eineinhalb Jahre alt (Stand 03/2023) und dafür schon ausgeglichen und ruhig. Er bewegt sich souverän im Rudel und ist noch nie durch Rüpeleien aufgefallen, die ja für sein Alter typisch wären. Sein größtes Glück ist, wenn einer der Tierschützer die Zeit findet, mit ihm spazieren zu gehen. Bruno erkundet seine Umwelt mit Neugier und liebt es natürlich, sein Jagdhundnäschen einzusetzen, um die Neuigkeiten aus der Nachbarschaft zu erfahren. So nett und umgänglich Bruno auch ist, er ist ein junger und fröhlicher Jagdhund. Wir suchen für ihn also eine Familie, die gern draußen ist, die sich aktiv mit ihrem Hund beschäftigen möchte, die Rasseerfahrung hat oder bereit ist, mit Bruno eine Hundeschule zu besuchen. Wer einen Personal Trainer sucht, einen hochmotivierten Begleiter für Spaziergänge und Wanderungen, eine begabte Wärmflasche für gemütliche Fernsehabende auf der Couch und natürlich ganz schlicht einen allerbesten Freund – nun, der ist bei Bruno an der besten Adresse und sollte sich ganz schnell bei uns melden, um zu erfahren, wie der liebenswerte Charmeur in kürzester Zeit in seinem neuen Zuhause die Herzen und die bequemen Möbel erobern kann.

About Bruno

What life with Bruno looks like

Bruno is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierschutzverein ARCA 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. 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 Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. 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.
