Dante

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Dante, a beautiful Rottweiler-mix, was rescued from the Petrosani public shelter in a pitiful state, along with several other dogs. He was emaciated, had matted fur, and was emotionally drained. Dante, a handsome male with gentle eyes, is extremely fearful of people and expects nothing positive, which is unfortunately not surprising given his background. Currently, he needs time to recover, but we hope he will eventually be ready for a home. We wish for him a home with empathetic and experienced people who can show him what a good dog life is like in peace and without pressure or expectations. It should be okay if he never wants to go for walks or cuddle like a normal dog. He may be good for one or two positive surprises. A securely fenced garden with direct access to the house is a basic requirement. Since Dante has poor adoption chances, we would be very happy if someone would take a sponsorship for him. Currently still in Romania, he can leave if a home is found. Vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies + basic immunization) chipped, tested with SNAP 4Dx test (Lyme disease, heartworm, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis) neutered compatible with conspecifics The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country.

11/2024 Pate: Simon J. -L. Dante, geboren ca. 2022, ca. 55cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 11/2024 Dante wurde gemeinsam mit mehreren anderen Hunden in erbärmlichem Zustand aus dem öffentlichen Tierheim Petrosani gerettet. Er war abgemagert, hatte verfilztes Fell und war vor allem seelisch am Ende. Vor Menschen hat eder hübsche Rüde mit den sanften Augen große Angst und erwartet nichts positives, was uns aufgrund seiner Herkunft leider wenig verwundert. Aktuell braucht er noch Zeit, um sich zu erholen, wird aber hoffentlich irgendwann bereit sein für ein eigenes Zuhause. Wenn er so weit ist wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihm in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte okay sein, wenn er nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist er dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus ist Grundvoraussetzung. Da Dante nur schlechte Vermittlungschancen hat, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn jemand eine Patenschaft für ihn übernimmt. aktuell noch in Rumänien, darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut + Grundimmunisierung) gechipt, getestet mit SNAP 4Dx Test (Borreliose, Herzwurm, Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose) kastriert verträglich mit Artgenossen Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt.

About Dante

What life with Dante looks like

Dante is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Dante, answered.

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