How do I contact the shelter about Gross?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gross on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gross if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe Sauerland 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 Gross 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 Gross 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 Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gross 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.

Gross

Dachshund · Male · Young · 1 year

Our shelter dog Gross, a short-haired dachshund-mix, wandered through a small village – we unfortunately do not know why he was on the street. There, he was mobbed and attacked by other dogs. Fortunately, this was not unnoticed, and our partner shelter Allatbarat in Hungary was contacted and asked for help. Today, Gross waits in our partner shelter Allatbarat in Hungary for a new start. Gross is a loving, charming, and somewhat cautious little four-legged friend. He shows a human-oriented demeanor, currently sometimes a bit insecure. But it is already noticeable that with a little security, he will quickly warm up. In his own home, he will likely quickly unpack his typical dachshund characteristics – charming, independent, and of course always in the middle. Of course, Gross also still has a lot to learn – from dog ABC to the everyday routines in the new home. With other dogs, he is compatible and shows a friendly demeanor and has no problems with fellow animals. For Gross, we are looking for a loving and suitable home where a happy and fulfilling dachshund life awaits him. People who understand his needs, keep him dachshund-typical occupied, and are happy to go through life with him.

Unser Schützling Gross, ein Kurzhaardackel-Mischling, streunerte durch ein kleines Dorf – warum er auf der Straße war, wissen wir leider nicht. Dort wurde er von anderen Hunden gemobbt und attackiert. Zum Glück blieb dies nicht unbeobachtet und unser Partnertierheim wurde kontaktiert und um Hilfe gebeten. Heute wartet Gross in unserem Partnertierheim Allatbarat in Ungarn auf einen Neustart. Gross ist ein lieber, charmanter und verschmuster kleiner Vierbeiner. Er zeigt sich menschenbezogen, aktuell noch manchmal etwas verunsichert. Aber man merkt jetzt schon, dass er mit ein bisschen Sicherheit schnell weiter auftauen wird. In einem eigenen Zuhause wird er vermutlich zügig seine typischen Dackel-Charaktereigenschaften auspacken – charmant, eigenständig und natürlich immer mittendrin. Natürlich muss auch Gross noch einiges lernen – vom Hunde-ABC bis zu den alltäglichen Abläufen im neuen Zuhause. Mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich und zeigt sich umgänglich und hat keine Probleme mit Artgenossen. Für Gross suchen wir ein liebevolles und passendes zuhause, wo ein glückliches und ausgefülltes Dackelleben auf ihn wartet. Menschen, die seine Bedürfnisse verstehen, ihn dackeltypisch beschäftigen und Lust haben, gemeinsam mit ihm durchs Leben zu gehen.

About Gross

What life with Gross looks like

Gross is a medium-sized young adult dachshund dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

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.
