Gino

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

08/2026 Varna, born approx. 11/2025, intact, approx. 62 cm shoulder height. Currently in a foster home in 38440 Wolfsburg. Gino was born on 01.11.2025, is approx. 62 cm tall, weighs approx. 25 kg, and currently lives in 38440 Wolfsburg. Some dogs simply need a bit more time to build trust, and our Gino is exactly such a special dog. Whoever gives him that time will gain a loyal, cuddly, and eager-to-learn companion. Gino is a very intelligent young male who learns with great enthusiasm and quickly understands new things. At his age, he also likes to test his boundaries, so he needs people who can give him security through patience, consistency, and experience. That is why we are looking especially carefully this time for the right people, who understand his needs and want to give him a safe home for the long term. Strangers unsettle him at first. With some patience, and a few tasty sausages, he thaws out quickly and shows his loving side. Once Gino has gained trust, he is a cuddly, affectionate, and truly wonderful companion. Walks are still a challenge for him at the moment. Encounters with people or unfamiliar situations sometimes unsettle him, and he would then rather head home. We therefore wish for him a quiet home outside the city center, as Gino would not feel comfortable in the middle of city bustle. Additionally, he has so far only encountered stairs with a few steps (up to about four steps). How Gino gets along with other dogs cannot currently be reliably assessed. He does not particularly like a neighbor's dog, and he ignores another one as long as it doesn't pester him. Gino currently meets men with clear skepticism. We therefore ideally wish for a home without a man in the household. If a man is part of the family, this is only conceivable if there is already a great deal of experience with insecure dogs and Gino is given the time to build trust at his own pace. With women, however, Gino quickly shows himself to be friendly and cuddly, and he greatly enjoys their closeness. For Gino we are looking exclusively for people experienced with dogs, who understand his insecurities, can convey security to him, and are willing to work together with him. With time, patience, and loving but clear leadership, Gino will develop into a wonderful companion. ✔️ vaccinated ✔️ microchipped ✔️ with EU pet passport ✔️ intact The

08/2026 Varna, geboren ca. 11/2025, unkastriert, ca. 62 cm Schulterhöhe Auf Pflegestelle in 38440 Wolfsburg Gino ist am 01. 11. 2025 geboren, ca. 62cm hoch, ca. 25kg schwer und lebt aktuell in 38440 Wolfsburg. Manche Hunde brauchen einfach etwas mehr Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen – und genau so ein besonderer Hund ist unser Gino. Wer ihm diese Zeit schenkt, gewinnt einen treuen, verschmusten und lernfreudigen Begleiter. Gino ist ein sehr intelligenter junger Rüde, der mit viel Freude lernt und neue Dinge schnell versteht. Er testet altersentsprechend auch gerne mal seine Grenzen aus und braucht deshalb Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Konsequenz und Erfahrung Sicherheit geben. Deshalb suchen wir diesmal ganz besonders sorgfältig nach den passenden Menschen, die seine Bedürfnisse verstehen und ihm dauerhaft ein sicheres Zuhause schenken möchten. Fremde Menschen verunsichern ihn zunächst. Mit etwas Geduld – und ein paar leckeren Würstchen – taut er jedoch schnell auf und zeigt seine liebevolle Seite. Hat Gino erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, ist er ein verschmuster, anhänglicher und wirklich toller Begleiter. Spaziergänge sind für ihn aktuell noch eine Herausforderung. Begegnungen mit Menschen oder ungewohnten Situationen verunsichern ihn teilweise, sodass er dann lieber den Heimweg antreten möchte. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein ruhiges Zuhause außerhalb der Innenstadt, denn mitten im Stadttrubel würde sich Gino nicht wohlfühlen. Zudem kennt er Treppen bisher nur mit wenigen Stufen (bis etwa vier Stufen). Wie Gino mit anderen Hunden zurechtkommt, lässt sich derzeit nicht sicher beurteilen. Einen Nachbarshund mag er nicht besonders, einen anderen ignoriert er, solange dieser ihn nicht bedrängt. Männern begegnet Gino derzeit mit deutlicher Skepsis. Deshalb wünschen wir uns möglichst ein Zuhause ohne Mann im Haushalt. Sollte ein Mann zur Familie gehören, ist dies nur dann vorstellbar, wenn bereits viel Erfahrung mit unsicheren Hunden vorhanden ist und Gino die Zeit bekommt, Vertrauen in seinem eigenen Tempo aufzubauen. Mit Frauen zeigt sich Gino dagegen schnell freundlich, verschmust und genießt die Nähe sehr. Für Gino suchen wir ausschließlich hundeerfahrene Menschen, die seine Unsicherheiten verstehen, ihm Sicherheit vermitteln und bereit sind, gemeinsam mit ihm weiterzuarbeiten. Mit Zeit, Geduld und einer liebevollen, klaren Führung wird Gino sich zu einem wunderbaren Begleiter entwickeln. ✔️ geimpft ✔️ gechippt ✔️ mit EU-Heimtierausweis ✔️ unkastriert Die

About Gino

What life with Gino looks like

Gino is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gino?
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 Gino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gino 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Gino 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 Gino 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 Gino 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.
