Cino

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Cappuccino, whom we affectionately call Cino, is an exceptionally curious and intelligent dog. He earned his name on his first morning with us, when, in a moment when no one was watching, he plunged his entire muzzle into my coffee cup. Ever since, his nose has been wherever something exciting is happening, whether that's cooking, gardening, or out and about. Cino was found as a street dog in Germany at around seven months old and taken in by me. Nothing is known about his background. He is athletic, enduring, and eager for nearly any adventure. Cycling, jogging, hiking, and long walks bring him just as much joy as scent work or puzzle tasks. He learns new tricks incredibly quickly and works motivated when guided fairly and clearly. He loves the people he trusts very much. He seeks a great deal of closeness, enjoys cuddling, and would most like to be with you at all times. He initially approaches strangers with skepticism and needs time to build trust. Cino generally regards children with uncertainty and feels uncomfortable in their presence, which is why only a household without children is suitable for him. Cino is sensitive and responds to pressure with counter-pressure. He needs clear structure, calm, and people who can read body language and give him a sense of security rather than letting conflicts arise. With other dogs he is generally social; he currently lives with an intact male, and he likes to play and wrestle. At the same time, he shows insecurities, particularly on the leash or when jealousy arises. From our perspective, a single-dog household would therefore be the most sensible solution. Most importantly: Cino is not a dog for beginners. He comes with a serious behavioral challenge and belongs only in the hands of experienced people. In rare situations, when he is in a conflict or a situation seems uncontrollable to him, he can react very impulsively. In the past there have been several bite incidents toward me, resulting in injuries. The triggers varied and, despite intensive work on his behavior, have so far not been reliably predictable or preventable. Responsible use of management measures such as muzzle training and clear safety structures is a requirement. I realize that I can no longer meet the special demands Cino brings in the long term. At the same time, my first dog is increasingly suffering from the situation. Both deserve a life in which they feel safe and receive the attention they need. This decision is anything but easy for us. Cino is a dog with many wonderful qualities, and we would have very much liked to give him a permanent home. After the incidents so far, however, we must acknowledge that we can no longer do justice to him or to our surroundings in the long term. We therefore hope to find people who are willing to take on this task with the necessary experience, patience, and care.

Cappuccino, von uns liebevoll Cino genannt, ist ein außergewöhnlich neugieriger und intelligenter Hund. Seinen Namen verdankt er seinem ersten Morgen bei uns, als er in einem unbeobachteten Moment seine komplette Schnauze in meiner Kaffeetasse versenkt hat. Seitdem gehört seine Nase immer dorthin, wo gerade etwas Spannendes passiert – ob beim Kochen, bei der Gartenarbeit oder unterwegs. Cino wurde im Alter von etwa sieben Monaten als Straßenhund in Deutschland gefunden und von mir aufgenommen. Über seine Vorgeschichte ist nichts bekannt. Er ist sportlich, ausdauernd und für nahezu jedes Abenteuer zu begeistern. Fahrradfahren, Joggen, Wanderungen oder lange Spaziergänge machen ihm genauso viel Freude wie Nasenarbeit oder Denkaufgaben. Neue Tricks lernt er unglaublich schnell und arbeitet motiviert mit, wenn man ihn fair und verständlich anleitet. Die Menschen, denen er vertraut, liebt er sehr. Er sucht sehr viel Nähe, kuschelt gern und möchte am liebsten immer dabei sein. Fremden begegnet er zunächst skeptisch und braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Kindern begegnet Cino grundsätzlich mit Unsicherheit und fühlt sich in ihrer Nähe unwohl, weshalb für ihn ausschließlich ein kinderloser Haushalt infrage kommt. Cino ist sensibel und reagiert auf Druck mit Gegendruck. Er braucht klare Strukturen, Ruhe und Menschen, die Körpersprache lesen können und ihm Sicherheit geben, statt Konflikte entstehen zu lassen. Mit anderen Hunden ist er grundsätzlich sozial, lebt derzeit mit einem unkastrierten Rüden zusammen, spielt und rauft gern. Gleichzeitig zeigt er Unsicherheiten, insbesondere an der Leine oder wenn Eifersucht entsteht. Ein Einzelplatz wäre deshalb aus unserer Sicht die sinnvollste Lösung. Das Wichtigste Cino ist kein Hund für Anfänger. Er bringt eine ernstzunehmende Verhaltensbaustelle mit und gehört ausschließlich in die Hände erfahrener Menschen. In seltenen Situationen, wenn er sich in einem Konflikt befindet oder eine Situation für ihn nicht kontrollierbar erscheint, kann er sehr impulsiv reagieren. Dabei kam es in der Vergangenheit zu mehreren Beißvorfällen mir gegenüber, bei denen Verletzungen entstanden sind. Die Auslöser waren unterschiedlich und ließen sich trotz intensiver Beschäftigung mit seinem Verhalten bisher nicht zuverlässig vorhersagen oder verhindern. Ein verantwortungsvoller Umgang mit Managementmaßnahmen wie Maulkorbtraining und klaren Sicherheitsstrukturen ist Voraussetzung. Ich merke, dass ich den besonderen Anforderungen, die Cino mitbringt, langfristig nicht mehr gerecht werden kann. Gleichzeitig leidet auch mein Ersthund zunehmend unter der Situation. Beide verdienen ein Leben, in dem sie sich sicher fühlen und die Aufmerksamkeit bekommen, die sie brauchen. Diese Entscheidung fällt uns alles andere als leicht. Cino ist ein Hund mit vielen wunderbaren Eigenschaften und wir hätten uns sehr gewünscht, ihm dauerhaft ein Zuhause geben zu können. Nach den bisherigen Vorfällen müssen wir jedoch anerkennen, dass wir ihm und unserem Umfeld langfristig nicht mehr gerecht werden können. Wir wünschen uns deshalb Menschen, die bereit sind, diese Aufgabe mit der nötigen Erfahrung, Geduld und Sorgfalt zu übernehmen

About Cino

What life with Cino looks like

Cino is a mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Markgräflerland e.V. in Buggingen.

A 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 Cino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cino?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Markgräflerland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cino 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 Tierschutzverein Markgräflerland e.V. whether they will for Cino, 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 Cino already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein Markgräflerland e.V. lists Cino as neutered or spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Markgräflerland 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 Cino isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Markgräflerland 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 Cino 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.
