Goofy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

🐾❤️ GOOFY – LITTLE GUY WITH A BIG HEART LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME! ❤️🐾 Sometimes, between a terrible start in life and a happy new beginning, it only takes a few people who don't look away. ❤️ Our little Goofy is the best proof of that! 🥹 💔 His story began in the middle of a highway in Romania. In Sibiu, the little male was found trembling at a guardrail. All alone, surrounded by speeding cars. We don't know how he got there or what he had to experience before. Luckily, Goofy was discovered in time and brought to safety. Until his departure, he was allowed to live in a loving foster home of our partner organization Animal Life Sibiu. In the meantime, Goofy has made the big journey to Germany and is waiting for his very own happy ending at his foster home in 26629 Großefehn, Landkreis Aurich (East Frisia). ❤️ 🐶 And what is our Goofy like? Goofy is a small, robust guy with an incredibly loving nature. At first, he seems a bit quiet and reserved. But this impression doesn't last long! 🥰 A little friendly conversation, some attention, and our little charmer melts. Then he shows what's really in him: a cuddly heartbreaker who loves cuddles and long hours of cuddling. But be careful! 😁 In our little cuddly bear, there's also a real BALL JUNKIE! 🎾😂 As soon as a ball comes into play, the initial reserve is gone. Then Goofy shows his cheerful, playful side and is enthusiastic! Cuddling or playing ball? Goofy thinks: best of both! ❤️🎾 He also gets along great with other four-legged friends. He is compatible with both dogs and cats and could therefore also feel comfortable in a home with already existing animal housemates. 🐕🐈 🏡 What we wish for Goofy: Goofy is looking for people with heart, patience, and a passion for a small, lovable companion. A family that initially gives him the necessary security, knows how to appreciate his playful side, and naturally includes him in their daily routine. Whether it's a walk together, playful ball games, or cozy hours on the couch – Goofy wants to enjoy life at his human's side. He doesn't need luxury or a huge house. What's more important to him is affection, reliability, and a home where he is welcome forever. ❤️ After his dangerous start in life, this little fighter finally has the chance for a happy future. Now all that's missing is the right people by his side. 🐾 GOOFY AT A GLANCE: 🐶 Name: Goofy 💙 Gender: Male, neutered 🎂 Born: approximately 01.03.2024 📏 Size: approximately 27 cm 🐕 Stature: Small and robust ❤️ Character: Loving, initially reserved, quickly trusting, cuddly, and playful 🐾 Compatibility: Dogs and cats 🎾 Special feature: Passionate ball junkie 📍 Location: 26629 Großefehn, LK Aurich, East Frisia 🏡 Goofy can be personally met at his foster home at any time by prior appointment!

🐾❤️ GOOFY – KLEINER KERL MIT GROSSEM HERZEN SUCHT SEIN FÜR-IMMER-ZUHAUSE! ❤️🐾 Manchmal liegen zwischen einem schrecklichen Start ins Leben und einem glücklichen Neuanfang nur ein paar Menschen, die nicht wegschauen. ❤️ Unser kleiner Goofy ist der beste Beweis dafür! 🥹 💔 Seine Geschichte begann mitten auf einer Autobahn in Rumänien. In Sibiu wurde der kleine Rüde zitternd an einer Leitplanke gefunden. Ganz allein, umgeben von vorbeirasenden Autos. Wie er dorthin gekommen ist und was er vorher erleben musste, wissen wir nicht. Zum Glück wurde Goofy rechtzeitig entdeckt und in Sicherheit gebracht. Bis zu seiner Ausreise durfte er auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle unseres Partnervereins Animal Life Sibiu leben. Inzwischen hat Goofy die große Reise nach Deutschland geschafft und wartet auf seiner Pflegestelle in 26629 Großefehn, Landkreis Aurich (Ostfriesland) auf sein ganz persönliches Happy End. ❤️ 🐶 Und wie ist unser Goofy so? Goofy ist ein kleiner, robuster Kerl mit einem unglaublich liebevollen Wesen. Bei der ersten Begegnung wirkt er zunächst etwas ruhig und zurückhaltend. Doch dieser Eindruck hält meistens nicht lange an! 🥰 Ein bisschen freundliche Ansprache, etwas Aufmerksamkeit und schon taut unser kleiner Charmeur auf. Dann zeigt er, was wirklich in ihm steckt: ein verschmuster Herzensbrecher, der Streicheleinheiten und ausgiebige Kuschelstunden über alles liebt. Aber aufgepasst! 😁 In unserem kleinen Schmusebär steckt auch ein waschechter BALLJUNKIE! 🎾😂 Sobald ein Ball ins Spiel kommt, ist es mit der anfänglichen Zurückhaltung vorbei. Dann zeigt Goofy seine fröhliche, verspielte Seite und ist mit Begeisterung dabei! Kuscheln oder Ballspielen? Goofy findet: Am besten beides! ❤️🎾 Auch mit anderen Vierbeinern versteht sich Goofy prima. Er ist sowohl mit Hunden als auch mit Katzen verträglich und könnte sich deshalb auch in einem Zuhause mit bereits vorhandenen tierischen Mitbewohnern wohlfühlen. 🐕🐈 🏡 Was wir uns für Goofy wünschen: Goofy sucht Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Freude an einem kleinen, liebenswerten Begleiter. Eine Familie, die ihm anfangs die nötige Sicherheit gibt, seine verspielte Seite zu schätzen weiß und ihn selbstverständlich in ihren Alltag einbezieht. Ob gemeinsame Spaziergänge, ausgelassene Ballspiele oder gemütliche Stunden auf dem Sofa – Goofy möchte das Leben an der Seite seiner Menschen genießen. Er braucht weder Luxus noch ein riesiges Haus. Viel wichtiger sind ihm Zuwendung, Verlässlichkeit und ein Zuhause, in dem er für immer willkommen ist. ❤️ Nach seinem gefährlichen Start ins Leben hat dieser kleine Kämpfer endlich die Chance auf eine glückliche Zukunft. Jetzt fehlen nur noch die richtigen Menschen an seiner Seite. 🐾 GOOFY AUF EINEN BLICK: 🐶 Name: Goofy 💙 Geschlecht: Rüde, kastriert 🎂 Geboren: ca. 01.03.2024 📏 Größe: ca. 27 cm 🐕 Statur: Klein und robust ❤️ Charakter: Liebevoll, anfangs zurückhaltend, schnell zutraulich, verschmust und verspielt 🐾 Verträglichkeit: Hunde und Katzen 🎾 Besonderheit: Leidenschaftlicher Balljunkie 📍 Aufenthaltsort: 26629 Großefehn, LK Aurich, Ostfriesland 🏡 Goofy kann nach vorheriger Terminabsprache jederzeit auf seiner Pflegestelle persönlich kennengelernt werden!

About Goofy

What life with Goofy looks like

Goofy is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Anytime for Animals e.V. in Großefehn.

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 Goofy, answered.

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