Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Găinusă - he begged me with his eyes to save him 💔🐾 Sometimes you meet a dog and you know right away: you won't forget this look. That's how it was with Găinusă. He lived in Romania as a chained dog - without a protective hut, often without enough food and water. His life was one of deprivation, loneliness and waiting for someone to come. 💔 His neck was sore from the collar. At this point, he had hardly any fur. His entire coat was in a pitiful state - marked by a life in which no one really cared about him. And then the moment came when someone finally looked. ❤️ The animal rescuers got the opportunity to take him out. And Găinusă was finally allowed to go. Away from the chain. Away from this cruel life. Away from hunger and despair. Why he was treated like that? It was said he had killed a chicken. Maybe he really did. Maybe it was just a dog who eventually searched for something edible out of hunger and need. We'll never know. But one thing we know for sure: a dog shouldn't spend his whole life on a chain just because he killed a chicken once. 💔 When the animal rescuers took him, Găinusă had only one wish: get out of here. And this look... this look said it all. He almost begged someone to finally take him. 🥺❤️ Today his life is different. Găinusă lives in a loving foster home in Romania. He was neutered, vaccinated and of course thoroughly bathed first. His body can now recover and his soul can slowly understand that the bad times are over. 🐾❤️ Găinusă weighs about 15 kg and shows himself to be an incredibly good, gentle and dear dog. Only one thing he can't forget: the hunger. When another dog goes to his food bowl, Găinusă defends his food. After everything he experienced, that's understandable. He probably had to experience a lot too often that you don't know when there will be something to eat again. Remarkably, however: a person can take away his food bowl. ❤️ That shows us how much trust in this little dog despite his past. Now Găinusă is to learn what it means to be a real family dog. Walks, grass under the paws, his own basket, regular food, loving hands and above all people who never leave him again. 🏡🐾 Next week he can take his first real walk. Then we will also take new photos of him. And maybe you can see a little bit of the dog that was hidden under this sad, marked coat all these years. ❤️ Găinusă doesn't need people who feel sorry for his past. He needs people who give him a future. A future without a chain. Without hunger. Without fear. But with a warm place, security and a lot of love. ❤️ Maybe there is someone somewhere who sees not the former chained dog in Găinusă, but simply a wonderful dog who finally wants to live. 🐾❤️ Găinusă asked for his rescue. Now we are looking for someone who promises him that he will never have to go back. 🍀🏡 📩 If Gainusa touched your heart and you would like to give him a home forever, please contact us.

🐾💔 Găinusă – er hat mich mit seinen Augen angefleht, ihn zu retten 💔🐾 Manchmal begegnet man einem Hund und weiß sofort: Diesen Blick wirst du nicht vergessen. So war es bei Găinusă. Er lebte in Rumänien als Kettenhund – ohne schützende Hütte, oft ohne ausreichend Futter und Wasser. Sein Leben bestand aus Entbehrungen, Einsamkeit und dem Warten darauf, dass vielleicht irgendwann jemand kommt. 💔 Sein Hals war vom Halsband wund. An dieser Stelle hatte er kaum noch Fell. Sein gesamtes Fell war in einem erbärmlichen Zustand – gezeichnet von einem Leben, in dem sich niemand wirklich um ihn gekümmert hatte. Und dann kam der Moment, in dem endlich jemand hinsah. ❤️ Die Tierschützer bekamen die Möglichkeit, ihn dort herauszuholen. Und Găinusă durfte endlich gehen. Weg von der Kette. Weg von diesem grausamen Leben. Weg von Hunger und Verzweiflung. Warum er dort so behandelt wurde? Es hieß, er habe ein Huhn getötet. Vielleicht hat er es tatsächlich getan. Vielleicht war es aber auch einfach ein Hund, der irgendwann aus Hunger und Not nach etwas Essbarem gesucht hat. Wir werden es nie erfahren. Aber eines wissen wir ganz sicher: Ein Hund darf nicht sein ganzes Leben an einer Kette verbringen, nur weil er einmal ein Huhn getötet hat. 💔 Als die Tierschützer ihn mitnahmen, hatte Găinusă nur noch diesen einen Wunsch: Raus hier. Und dieser Blick … dieser Blick sagte alles. Er hat geradezu darum gebeten, dass ihn endlich jemand mitnimmt. 🥺❤️ Heute ist sein Leben ein anderes. Găinusă lebt auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle in Rumänien. Er wurde kastriert, geimpft und natürlich erst einmal gründlich gebadet. Sein Körper darf sich nun erholen und seine Seele darf langsam begreifen, dass die schlimmen Zeiten vorbei sind. 🐾❤️ Găinusă wiegt etwa 15 kg und zeigt sich als unglaublich braver, sanftmütiger und lieber Hund. Nur eines kann er noch nicht vergessen: den Hunger. Wenn ein anderer Hund an seinen Futternapf geht, verteidigt Găinusă sein Futter. Nach allem, was er erlebt hat, ist das verständlich. Er musste vermutlich viel zu oft erfahren, dass man nicht weiß, wann es wieder etwas zu essen gibt. Bemerkenswert ist aber: Ein Mensch darf seinen Futternapf wegnehmen. ❤️ Das zeigt uns, wie viel Vertrauen trotz seiner Vergangenheit in diesem kleinen Hund steckt. Nun soll Găinusă lernen, was es bedeutet, ein richtiger Familienhund zu sein. Spaziergänge, Gras unter den Pfoten, ein eigenes Körbchen, regelmäßiges Futter, liebevolle Hände und vor allem Menschen, die ihn niemals wieder im Stich lassen. 🏡🐾 Nächste Woche darf er seinen ersten richtigen Spaziergang machen. Dann werden wir auch neue Fotos von ihm machen. Und vielleicht sieht man dann schon ein kleines bisschen von dem Hund, der all die Jahre unter diesem traurigen, gezeichneten Fell verborgen war. ❤️ Găinusă braucht keine Menschen, die Mitleid mit seiner Vergangenheit haben. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm eine Zukunft schenken. Eine Zukunft ohne Kette. Ohne Hunger. Ohne Angst. Aber mit einem warmen Platz, Sicherheit und ganz viel Liebe. ❤️ Vielleicht gibt es irgendwo genau diesen Menschen. Jemanden, der in Găinusă nicht den ehemaligen Kettenhund sieht, sondern einfach einen wunderbaren Hund, der endlich leben möchte. 🐾❤️ Găinusă hat um seine Rettung gebeten. Jetzt suchen wir jemanden, der ihm verspricht, dass er nie wieder zurück muss. 🍀🏡 📩 Wenn Gainusa dein Herz berührt hat und du ihm ein Zuhause für immer schenken möchtest, melde dich gerne bei uns.

About Gainusa

What life with Gainusa looks like

Gainusa is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e.V. in Germany.

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 Gainusa, answered.

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