Adopt Dino

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Dino – how precious life is → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 01/2025 → Size / Weight: 40 cm / 12 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown. Description As a little puppy, Dino was found with severe injuries to his spine and ribs – alone, in a critical condition and without hope. When he arrived, he couldn't stand independently. For the first weeks, it was completely open whether and to what extent he would ever recover. But Dino proved the exact opposite: he worked his way back to life step by step. From wobbly attempts to stand, to first steps – and today, a dog who can run and play, and every day shows how much strength is in him. As part of his treatment, Dino also had to undergo a spinal surgery, which he endured well and was a crucial step in his development. Today, Dino is pure joy on four legs. He is a little character head who comments on his environment in his own unique way – with squeaks, grumbles, and all sorts of sounds that make him unmistakable. Dino is in the middle of things instead of just being a part of them and constantly seeks contact with his people. Anyone who enjoys a dog with personality and "participates" will quickly fall in love with him.

Dino – wie wertvoll ein Leben ist → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 01/2025 → Grösse / Gewicht: 40 cm / 12 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A. Beschreibung Als kleiner Welpe wurde Dino mit schwersten Verletzungen an Wirbelsäule und Rippen gefunden – allein, in einem kritischen Zustand und ohne Perspektive. Als er ankam, konnte er nicht selbstständig stehen. In den ersten Wochen war völlig offen, ob und wie viel er jemals wieder schaffen würde. Doch Dino hat genau das Gegenteil bewiesen: Er hat sich Schritt für Schritt zurück ins Leben gearbeitet. Aus ersten wackligen Versuchen wurde wieder Stehen, daraus erste Schritte – und heute ein Hund, der wieder laufen und rennen kann und jeden Tag zeigt, wie viel Kraft in ihm steckt. Im Zuge seiner Behandlung musste Dino zudem eine Wirbelsäulenoperation über sich ergehen lassen, die er gut überstanden hat und die ein wichtiger Schritt in seiner Entwicklung war. Heute ist Dino pure Lebensfreude auf vier Pfoten. Er ist ein kleiner Charakterkopf, der seine Umwelt auf seine ganz eigene Art kommentiert – mit Quietschen, Grummeln und allerlei Lauten, die ihn einfach unverwechselbar machen. Dino ist mittendrin statt nur dabei und sucht ständig den Kontakt zu seinen Menschen. Wer Freude an einem Hund hat, der Persönlichkeit zeigt und „mitredet“, wird ihn schnell ins Herz schließen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich sehr gut und liebt es, gemeinsa

About Dino

What life with Dino looks like

Dino is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An young 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. 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 Dino, answered.

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