Forrest

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Forrest - a happy whirlwind is looking for his home ❤️ Forrest had no easy start in life. As a small puppy, he was found all alone - without his mother and without a person who cared about him. Luckily, he was rescued in time and allowed to grow up safely. Today, Forrest is an approximately 1 year old young male with a huge heart. He is an exceptionally friendly, people-oriented and loving dog who enjoys every attention. When he's happy, his enthusiasm knows no bounds - then he jumps, runs and wags his tail as much as possible. With his about 55 cm shoulder height and 25 kg, Forrest already has a nice size. His cheerful and sometimes somewhat turbulent nature makes him a wonderful companion for active people who enjoy working with a young dog and showing him the world. Since Forrest jumps up at his humans out of sheer joy, we are looking for a home with a fenced garden. Children should be a bit older (from about 10 years) so that no one is inadvertently run over. Not because Forrest would be unfriendly - quite the opposite. He's just a lively young dog who sometimes can't control his enthusiasm yet. Of course, Forrest still needs to learn the dog ABC. With loving consistency, patience and enough exercise, he will develop into a loyal and wonderful family member. Who finally gives this lovable guy the family he has been waiting for so long? ❤️ Forrest is waiting in Romania for his luck and can travel to his new home vaccinated, chipped and with an EU pet passport after a positive preliminary check. Origin: Romania / Shelter

Hilf Forrest, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️ FORREST – ein fröhlicher Wirbelwind sucht sein Zuhause ❤️ FORREST hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Als kleiner Welpe wurde er ganz allein gefunden – ohne seine Mutter und ohne einen Menschen, der sich um ihn kümmerte. Zum Glück wurde er rechtzeitig gerettet und durfte in Sicherheit aufwachsen. Heute ist FORREST ein etwa 1 Jahr alter junger Rüde mit einem riesengroßen Herzen. Er ist ein ausgesprochen freundlicher, menschenbezogener und liebevoller Hund, der jede Aufmerksamkeit genießt. Wenn er sich freut, kennt seine Begeisterung allerdings keine Grenzen – dann wird gehüpft, gesprungen und gewedelt, was das Zeug hält. Mit seinen ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe und 25 kg bringt FORREST bereits eine schöne Größe mit. Seine fröhliche und manchmal etwas stürmische Art macht ihn zu einem wunderbaren Begleiter für aktive Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mit einem jungen Hund zu arbeiten und ihm die Welt zu zeigen. Da FORREST vor lauter Freude gerne an seinen Menschen hochspringt, wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause mit eingezäuntem Garten. Kinder sollten bereits etwas älter sein (ab etwa 10 Jahren), damit niemand unbeabsichtigt umgerannt wird. Nicht, weil FORREST unfreundlich wäre – ganz im Gegenteil. Er ist einfach ein lebensfroher junger Hund, der seine Begeisterung manchmal noch nicht ganz kontrollieren kann. Natürlich muss FORREST das Hunde-ABC noch weiter lernen. Mit liebevoller Konsequenz, Geduld und ausreichend Beschäftigung wird er sich zu einem treuen und wunderbaren Familienmitglied entwickeln. Wer schenkt diesem liebenswerten Kerl endlich die Familie, auf die er schon so lange wartet? ❤️ FORREST wartet in Rumänien auf sein Glück und kann nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft, gechippt und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause reisen. Herkunft: Rumänien / Shelter

About Forrest

What life with Forrest looks like

Forrest is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Forrest, answered.

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