Daniele

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Daniele has arguably the coolest hairdo far and wide, completely unimpressed by combs, brushes, or any styling attempts. But behind this funny little tousled look is a story that is, sadly, anything but funny. Daniele was simply thrown away. Disposed of. Left behind to die. A small, helpless puppy whom no one wanted anymore. A puppy who had not yet even had the chance to get to know the world was simply left to his fate. But Daniele had something that apparently no one had expected: a will to live. He fought. He wanted to live. And today this little guy sits there, with his three unruly hairs, his loyal eyes, and his great need for closeness, waiting for his life to finally be allowed to truly begin. Currently Daniele lives at our partner shelter LIDA in Sardinia. After his vaccination prophylaxis, he is now ready to go out in search of the people who will give him everything that has been denied to him until now: security, safety, love, and a home forever. Daniele is an incredibly cuddly and snuggly puppy, and playful as puppies are. He wants to be close to his people, enjoy physical contact, and presumably would most like to lie in as many arms as possible at once. But as small and cute as he is, this sweet guy has a hunting dog mix in him. And that dog wants not only to be cuddled, but also to be kept busy. Daniele wants to use his nose, explore, learn, and experience things together with his people. Search games, scent work, mantrailing, or other age-appropriate activities could give him great pleasure. We are looking for people who know that a puppy will one day become an adult dog. People who are willing to explain the world to him, raise him with love, give him security, and at the same time challenge his clever mind. He has received so little and has still seen so much less in his life so far. Now it is time for everything to change for him. For him to wake up in a warm home every morning. For someone to be waiting for him. For him never again to have to be afraid of simply being sorted out and left behind. For his little paws to be allowed to race across a meadow. For him to learn how wonderful a dog's life can be. And for him to fall asleep tired and content in the evening beside his people, loved and safe. And to be honest: the hairdo already looks great. Now all that's missing is the family who will fall in love with this little fighter. Pfoten Match e. V. However, the dogs must be picked up by their adopters at the handover location. If you would like to know more about Daniele, feel free to contact his placement coordinator, Corinna Alsleben.

Daniele trägt die wohl coolste Frisur weit und breit – völlig unbeeindruckt von Kamm, Bürste oder irgendwelchen Stylingversuchen. Aber hinter dieser lustigen kleinen Strubbelfrisur steckt eine Geschichte, die leider überhaupt nicht zum Lachen ist. Denn Daniele wurde einfach weggeworfen. Entsorgt. Zum Sterben zurückgelassen. Ein kleines, hilfloses Hundekind, das niemand mehr haben wollte. Ein Welpe, der noch gar nicht die Chance bekommen hatte, die Welt kennenzulernen, wurde einfach seinem Schicksal überlassen. Doch Daniele hatte etwas, womit offenbar niemand gerechnet hatte: Lebenswillen. Er hat gekämpft. Er wollte leben. Und heute sitzt da dieser kleine Kerl – mit seinen drei widerspenstigen Haaren, seinen treuen Augen und seinem großen Bedürfnis nach Nähe – und wartet darauf, dass sein Leben endlich richtig beginnen darf. Aktuell lebt Daniele in unserem Partnertierheim LIDA auf Sardinien. Nach seiner Impfprophylaxe darf er nun auf die Suche nach den Menschen gehen, die ihm all das schenken, was ihm bisher verwehrt wurde: Geborgenheit, Sicherheit, Liebe und ein Zuhause für immer. Daniele ist ein unglaublich schmusiger und kuscheliger Welpe und welpentypisch verspielt. Er möchte seinen Menschen nah sein, Körperkontakt genießen und vermutlich am liebsten in möglichst vielen Armen gleichzeitig liegenAber so klein und niedlich er auch ist – in diesem süßen Kerl steckt ein Jagdhund-Mischling. Und der möchte nicht nur gekuschelt, sondern auch beschäftigt werden. Daniele möchte seine Nase einsetzen, entdecken, lernen und gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen etwas erleben. Suchspiele, Nasenarbeit, Mantrailing oder andere altersgerechte Beschäftigungen könnten ihm großen Spaß machen. Wir suchen Menschen, die wissen, dass aus einem Welpen einmal ein erwachsener Hund wird. Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm die Welt zu erklären, ihn liebevoll zu erziehen, ihm Sicherheit zu geben und gleichzeitig seinen klugen Kopf auszulasten. Er hat so wenig bekommen und noch so viel nicht gesehen in seinem bisherigen Leben. Jetzt wäre es an der Zeit, dass sich für ihn alles verändert. Dass er morgens in einem warmen Zuhause aufwacht. Dass jemand auf ihn wartet. Dass er nie wieder Angst haben muss, einfach aussortiert und zurückgelassen zu werden. Dass seine kleinen Pfoten über eine Wiese flitzen dürfen. Dass er lernen darf, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Und dass er abends müde und zufrieden neben seinen Menschen einschläft – geliebt und sicher. Und mal ehrlich:Die Frisur sitzt schon mal. Jetzt fehlt nur noch die Familie, die sich in diesen kleinen Kämpfer verliebt. Pfoten Match e. V. Allerdings müssen die Hunde von ihren Adoptanten am Übergabeort abgeholt werden. Wenn du mehr zu Daniele wissen möchtest, melde dich gerne bei seiner Vermittlerin Corinna Alsleben.

About Daniele

What life with Daniele looks like

Daniele is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Pfoten Match e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Daniele, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Daniele?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfoten Match e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Daniele on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Daniele if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfoten Match 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Daniele 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 Daniele 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 Pfoten Match e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Daniele 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.
