Gandalf

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

05/2025 Gandalf, geboren ca. 2023, ca. 50 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 09/2024 Gandalf wurde aus dem öffentlichen Tierheim Alexandria gerettet und befindet sich nun in Marias Shelter. Bei seiner Ankunft war er sehr ängstlich und wollte keinen Kontakt zu Menschen, mittlerweile hat er jedoch seine Neugier wiedergefunden und nähert sich immer weiter an. Ein wenig Skepsis ist noch vorhanden, doch wir sind zuversichtlich, dass er diese nach und nach weiter ablegen wird. Der niedliche Kerl ist auch mit seinen Artgenossen super verträglich und hat kein Interesse an Streitigkeiten. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei lieben und geduldigen Menschen, die ihm in Ruhe das Hunde ABC beibringen und ihm zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Wer sich dafür Zeit nimmt, wird mit einem wahnsinnig tollen Familienzuwachs belohnt werden. aktuell noch in Rumänien, darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut + Grundimmunisierung) gechipt, getestet mit SNAP 4Dx Test (Borreliose, Herzwurm, Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose) kastriert verträglich mit Artgenossen Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt.

About Gandalf

What life with Gandalf looks like

Gandalf is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future 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 Gandalf, answered.

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