Buggy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

🐾 Buggy – a large dog with a gentle soul seeks a solid anchor Buggy is a beautiful, imposing male dog who came to the animal shelter together with Lua. Both have only known life in the animal shelter – he hasn't gathered much more experience. And that's why he still feels a bit lost in this big world. 🌿 Where he can breathe In a quiet, natural environment, Buggy feels much more at ease. Outdoors, away from noise and confinement, he can relax. Hectic, urban surroundings or a lot of commotion, on the other hand, unsettle him. He needs people who can give him real security. People who can lead him calmly, clearly, and confidently – not with pity, but with stability. That's what gives him a sense of security. 🏡 His wish home • Rural, quiet location• House with a securely fenced yard• Ideally, a stable, confident female dog by his side• People with patience, clarity, and experienceBuggy is a very large dog – but with an exceptionally gentle character. He is vigilant without overreacting. There is a lot of potential in him. He can and wants to learn – he just hasn't had the opportunity to do so yet. With the right guidance, he won't just fit in, but grow. Buggy does not seek a place of pity. He seeks people who can give him a secure framework – so that an insecure, invisible giant can become a confident, loyal companion. 💚 STECCAPICHE Since in the animal shelter since 21.12.25 Age: 04.06.2020 Breed: mixed breed Gender: neutered Male Origin: Portugal Surrender reason: animal welfare Must be tested with cats / small animals Can be with children: not known As a second dog?

🐾 Buggy – großer Hund mit sanfter Seele sucht festen Anker Buggy ist ein wunderschöner, imposanter Rüde, der gemeinsam mit Lua ins Tierheim gekommen ist. Beide kennen im Grunde nur das Leben im Tierheim – viel mehr Erfahrung durfte er bisher nicht sammeln.Und genau deshalb steht er noch etwas verloren in dieser großen Welt. 🌿 Wo er aufatmen kann In ruhiger, natürlicher Umgebung fühlt sich Buggy deutlich wohler. Draußen, mit Abstand von Lärm und Enge, kann er entspannen. Hektik, städtisches Umfeld oder viel Trubel verunsichern ihn dagegen. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm echte Sicherheit geben. Menschen, die ihn ruhig, klar und souverän führen – nicht mit Mitleid, sondern mit Stabilität. Genau das gibt ihm Halt. 🏡 Sein Wunsch-Zuhause • Ländliche, ruhige Lage• Haus mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten• Idealerweise eine stabile, souveräne Hündin an seiner Seite• Menschen mit Geduld, Klarheit und ErfahrungBuggy ist ein sehr großer Hund – aber mit einem ausgesprochen sanften Charakter. Er ist wachsam, ohne dabei überzogen zu reagieren. In ihm steckt viel Potenzial. Er kann und will lernen – er hatte nur bisher kaum Gelegenheit dazu. Mit der richtigen Führung wird er nicht nur ankommen, sondern wachsen. Buggy sucht keinen Mitleidsplatz. Er sucht Menschen, die ihm einen sicheren Rahmen geben – damit aus einem unsicheren, unsichtbaren Riesen ein selbstbewusster, treuer Begleiter werden kann. 💚 STECKBRIEF Im Tierheim seit 21.12.25 Alter 04.06.2020 Rasse Mischling Geschlecht männlich kastriert Herkunft Portugal Abgabegrund Übernahme Tierschutz Mit Katzen / Kleintieren muss getestet werden Mit Kindern? nicht bekannt Als Zweithund? ja Wichtig zu wissen für die

About Buggy

What life with Buggy looks like

Buggy is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) in Germany.

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 Buggy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buggy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Buggy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Buggy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) 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 Buggy 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 Buggy 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 Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Buggy 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.
