Gordie

Pug · Male

Gordie was found completely exhausted, unkempt and emaciated on a meadow by the side of the road. He was then brought to our partner animal shelter. The shelter staff even found a chip, but it wasn't registered. Gordie has settled in very quickly at the shelter. He behaves calmly there and is super sweet with all people and dogs. Whether leisurely walks or relaxed cuddle sessions on the sofa – Gordie wants loving people who he can stay with forever. Contact: Ute Bachmann → WhatsApp or

Er verhält sich dort ruhig und ist super lieb mit allen Menschen und Hunden. Ob gemütliche Spaziergänge oder entspannte Kuschelstunden auf dem Sofa – Gordie wünscht sich liebe Menschen, bei denen er für immer bleiben darf. Kontakt: Ute Bachmann → WhatsApp oder

About Gordie

What life with Gordie looks like

Gordie is a adult pug dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

An 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 Gordie, answered.

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