Fenno

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Since in the shelter: April 2026 Estimated age: born around April 2024 Estimated shoulder height: about 70 – 79 cm Get to know Fenno directly in the video! Since in the shelter: month/year Gender: male/female Estimated age: born around month (written out)/year Estimated shoulder height: about xx – xx cm Special feature: sanctuary place/disability (if not, delete) Get to know HUNDENAME in another video! Fenno is looking for lots of affection! Fenno lived together with his two brothers on the premises of a company, where some people took care of the dogs. However, they could no longer stay there and there was a risk that they would be taken to a public animal shelter, so they were taken over. The dogs had already lived there since their childhood. Initially, they were rather cautious towards strangers and guarded their familiar environment. More information about how the dogs came to the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal protection FAQ. In the shelter, Fenno shows himself as very people-oriented and friendly. As soon as he sees people, he comes wagging his tail to the fence and immediately seeks contact. He sniffs interestedly, licks hands and presses his head closely against his caregivers. Fenno enjoys petting very much and can be touched anywhere without problems. Fenno appears open and affectionate and actively seeks the company of people. His compatibility with other dogs has not yet been accurately assessed, but he previously lived together with his brothers without problems. This furry face is new in the shelter. Our staff take the time to get to know each dog and assess them. If we learn more about the character of this furry face, we will supplement this profile. Of course, you can still fill out a self-disclosure form for this dog. We suspect that HUNDENAME has a herding dog (HSH). Please inform yourself here about the requirements for adopting a herding dog. HSH mixes are often very independent and need a confident leadership. HUNDENAME suffers from arthritis / hip dysplasia. Therefore, a home without many stairs is being sought to spare the dog pain. (This furry face will need medication for life.) HUNDENAME has a scar on the muzzle. This is not uncommon in Romania. Many people still believe there that one protects dogs from diseases by burning their muzzles. However, this scar does not affect this furry face at all. HUNDENAME has a docked ear/ two docked ears/ a docked tail. Many dogs in Romania have these cut off to make the animals look more dangerous. HUNDENAME has a short tail. It is unclear whether his/her tail is docked or natural. HUNDENAME is underweight. The animals usually get too little or nothing to eat on the streets or in killing stations, so they lose a lot of weight. However, our furry face is now being fed more in the shelter and is hopefully soon back to a normal weight. HUNDENAME is somewhat overweight. Often people mean well with the dogs and feed them beyond their healthy ideal weight. However, the furry face may still lose a little weight in the shelter so that it can go to the new home slim and elegant. Due to the health condition and the advanced age, we are looking for a sanctuary place for this furry face. With a sanctuary place, higher veterinary costs are covered upon agreement with the association and the protection fee is waived. The dog should thus have a better chance of finding a home to spend the rest of its life in peace and safety. Due to the health condition of this furry face, the protection fee is waived for adoption. Our disabled dogs should have a better chance of finding a home to spend at least the rest of their lives in peace and safety. Mandatory for medical findings (please delete) Our adoption team knows best about the exact health condition. If you have any more questions, feel free to send us a message. We wish for this furry face people who are aware that rescue dogs have a certain history. We can never predict how a dog will react to life in Germany. That's why we are looking for people who have patience, perseverance, and goodwill. But one thing is certain: whoever adopts instead of buys not only gives an animal a second chance, but actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by their side. Already in love? Send us a self-disclosure! Adoption If you are considering an adoption, first read through the adoption process. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated against fleas and neutered (exceptions are puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs) before leaving. Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any more questions, feel free to write to our adoption team.

Im Tierheim seit: April 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. April 2024 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 70 – 79 cm Lerne hier Fenno direkt im Video kennen! Im Tierheim seit: Monat/ Jahreszahl Geschlecht: Männlich/ Weiblich Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Monat (ausgeschrieben)/ Jahreszahl Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. xx – xx cm Besonderheit: Gnadenplatz/ Handicap (wenn nicht dann löschen) Lerne hier (= Verlinkung zum Video in der Galerieleiste; Text muss identisch mit dem Text im Anker sein) HUNDENAME in einem weiteren Video kennen! Fenno sucht ganz viele Streicheleinheiten! Fenno lebte gemeinsam mit seinen beiden Brüdern auf dem Gelände einer Firma, wo sich einige Menschen um die Hunde kümmerten. Da sie dort jedoch nicht länger bleiben konnten und die Gefahr bestand, dass sie in eine Tötungsstation gebracht werden, wurden sie in unserem Tierheim aufgenommen. Die Hunde lebten bereits seit ihrer Kindheit dort. Fremden gegenüber zeigten sie sich zunächst eher vorsichtig und bewachten ihr gewohntes Umfeld. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Im Tierheim zeigt sich Fenno dagegen als sehr menschenbezogen und freundlich. Sobald er Menschen sieht, kommt er schwanzwedelnd ans Gitter und sucht direkt den Kontakt. Er schnuppert interessiert, schleckt Hände ab und drückt seinen Kopf eng an seine Bezugspersonen. Streicheleinheiten genießt er sehr und lässt sich problemlos überall anfassen. Fenno wirkt offen und anhänglich und sucht aktiv die Nähe zu Menschen. Seine Verträglichkeit mit anderen Hunden konnte bisher noch nicht genauer eingeschätzt werden, allerdings lebte er vor seiner Ankunft bereits problemlos mit seinen Brüdern zusammen. Diese Fellnase ist noch neu im Tierheim. Unsere Pfleger:innen nehmen sich Zeit, um jeden Hund kennenzulernen und einzuschätzen. Wenn wir mehr über den Charakter dieser Fellnase wissen, ergänzen wir dieses Profil. Natürlich kannst du trotzdem schon eine Selbstauskunft für diesen Hund ausfüllen. Wir vermuten, dass in Fenno ein Herdenschutzhund (HSH) steckt. Bitte informiere dich hier über die Anforderungen bei Adoption eines Herdenschutzhundes. HSH-Mixe sind oft sehr selbstständig und brauchen eine souveräne Führung. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Fenno

What life with Fenno looks like

Fenno is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

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 Fenno, answered.

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