How do I contact the shelter about Figaró?

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

Can I adopt Figaró if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Traurige Hundeherzen 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 Figaró 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 Figaró 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 Traurige Hundeherzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Figaró 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.

Figaró

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: mixed-breed male dog Age: born around 01/2023 Hallo… I am Figaró, a red to wheat-blond scruffy, who looks a bit wild… Have you noticed the adorable fluff on my ears? Such a great accessory not everyone has… There’s probably a terrier in my gene pool, you can’t just guess it optically, but I am very active with a high energy level, although sometimes I can be a bit rough… In play with other dogs, I am quite dominant, with the girls there are no problems, but with the boys I am a bit extroverted and selective… Our caretakers say I need a confident person who really wants to work with me, because otherwise I am very lively, friendly, and attentive… I was a stray, someone picked me up and brought me here… I wish for my own family, in which I can be happy until the end of my life… For that, I need people with dog know-how, so that my dominance doesn’t take on bad proportions… Extensive walks with the opportunity to dig mouseholes would be great… In any case, we need to meet dog lovers so I don’t become a loner… And if you happen to have a few treats in your pocket, it might work out with us… What do you think? I hope for a quick response from you… Before I move into my new home, I will be neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. If you want to adopt me, please contact my handlers.

Rasse: Mischlingsrüde Alter: ca. 01/2023 geboren Hallöchen… Ich bin der Figaró, ein rot- bis weizenblonder Zausel, der ein bisschen verwegen aussieht… Habt Ihr die supersüßen Puschel auf meinen Ohren schon entdeckt? So ein tolles Accessoire hat nicht jeder… In meinem Genpool hat bestimmt mal ein Terrier mitgemischt, dass kann man nicht nur rein optisch vermuten, sondern auch vom Wesen her bin ich sehr aktiv mit einem hohen Energielevel, wobei ich manchmal etwas grob bin… Im Spiel mit den anderen Hunden bin ich ziemlich dominant, mit den Mädels gibt es da keine Probleme, aber bei den Jungs bin ich schon ein bisschen extrovertiert und wählerisch… Unsere Pfleger sagen, ich brauche unbedingt einen selbstbewußten Menschen, der richtig Lust hat mit mir daran zu arbeiten, denn ich bin ansonsten sehr aufgeweckt, freundlich und aufmerksam … Ich war ein Streuner, irgendjemand hat mich eingesammelt und hierher gebracht… Ich wünsche mir meine eigene Familie, in der ich bis an mein Lebensende glücklich sein darf… Dazu brauche ich Menschen mit Hunde Know- how, damit meine Dominanz keine schlechten Ausmaße annimmt… Ausgiebige Spaziergänge mit Gelegenheit zum Mäuselöcher buddeln wären großartig… Auf jeden Fall müssen wir Hundefreunde treffen, damit ich kein Eigenbrötler werde… Und wenn ihr rein zufällig auch noch das ein oder andere Leckerlie in der Tasche habt, sollte es doch mit uns klappen… Na, was meint Ihr? Ich hoffe auf baldige Post von Euch… Bevor ich in mein neues Zuhause reise, werde ich noch kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Wer mich adoptieren möchte, wende sich bitte an meine Vermittler .

About Figaró

What life with Figaró looks like

Figaró is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Traurige Hundeherzen e.V. in Hamburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
