Fino

Male · Adult · 6 years

Unser Fino ist ein kleines, aufgewecktes Kerlchen, das etwas Zeit braucht, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Fremden gegenüber zeigt er sich anfangs eher ängstlich und zurückhaltend und möchte nicht sofort angefasst werden. Bei einem entspannten Spaziergang taut er jedoch schnell auf. Seinen Bezugspersonen gegenüber ist Fino ein echter kleiner Clown, der sehr verschmust ist und gerne das ein oder andere Küsschen verteilt. Da er ein Angsthund ist, kann er sich in für ihn bedrohlichen Situationen launisch verhalten. Gibt man ihm jedoch die Möglichkeit, positive Erfahrungen zu sammeln und begegnet ihm mit Geduld, entwickelt er sich zu einem wunderbaren Wegbegleiter. Mit anderen Hunden ist Fino bedingt verträglich. Er zeigt keine Aggression, kann aber aus Aufregung heraus schon einmal schnappen. Regelmäßige Spaziergänge im Rudel meistert er gut und auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule tut ihm sehr gut. Für Fino wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder, in dem man ihm mit Verständnis, Ruhe und liebevoller Konsequenz begegnet.

About Fino

What life with Fino looks like

Fino is a small adult dog waiting at Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. in Leverkusen.

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. 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 Fino, answered.

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