How do I contact the shelter about Dumbo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Glück für Pfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dumbo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dumbo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Glück für Pfoten 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 Dumbo 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 Dumbo 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 Glück für Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dumbo 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.

Adopt Dumbo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Dumbo is a friendly, well-socialized puppy with a great personality. He shows agility, playfulness, and people-oriented behavior without being dominant. With his cheerful nature, he brings joy everywhere. The young male dog gets along well with children, other dogs, and other animals. He enjoys the company of humans and looks forward to attention and shared adventures. Like every puppy, Dumbo still needs training, patience, and loving companionship. He is expected to grow to a medium size when fully grown. Now, Dumbo is searching for a loving home where he can grow up protected and become part of a family. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – The Path to a New Life – Tel. and Mail: including safety harness Due to our full-time jobs, we may only be able to respond to you several hours later. It is best to contact the aforementioned mediator initially in writing (via email or WhatsApp) and request a callback (don't forget to mention your phone number). Please be patient! Our shelter animals travel with Traces and are exclusively rehomed within Germany (nationwide). Therefore, if you wish to apply for a dog and are renting, please arrange a written landlord's statement confirming that the husbandry of (another or a new) dog is allowed. We can only rehome dogs up to the 2nd floor if there is no elevator, to prevent any health limitations.

About Dumbo

What life with Dumbo looks like

Dumbo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
