Guido

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Guido, born approximately January 2023, neutered, approximately 60 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since March 2023. Guido is one of 20 puppies found abandoned. The puppies were initially cared for by a private individual in Valcea until they were vaccinated, but then had to move to the shelter because there was no other long-term solution. Guido has since grown into a beautiful and impressive male who unfortunately has never received an application. He is friendly towards humans and loves petting. He is particularly excited about the exercise he gets when volunteers are at the shelter. He also gets along well with his fellow dogs. Guido is probably at least partly a livestock guardian dog and could therefore show corresponding characteristics in a home. Therefore, we are looking for an optimally rural home with its own garden and people who know and appreciate livestock guardian dogs. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic vaccination). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the country of destination. Please note the information on this page:

04/2026 Guido, geboren ca. 01/2023, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 03/2023 Guido ist einer von 20 Welpen, die ausgesetzt gefunden wurden. Bis zur Grundimmunisierung kamen die Welpen bei einer Privatperson in Valcea unter, mussten danach aber ins Shelter umziehen weil es keine andere langfristige Lösung gab. Mittlerweile ist Guido zu einem wunderschönen und beeindruckenden Rüden herangewachsen der leider nie eine Anfrage hatte. Er ist dem Menschen zugewandt und findet Streicheleinheiten toll. Den Auslauf, den es nur gibt wenn Volontäre im Shelter sind, findet er ganz besonders spannend. Auch mit seinen Artgenossen versteht er sich gut. Guido ist vermutlich mindestens zum Teil ein Herdenschutzhund und könnte daher in einem Zuhause entsprechende Eigenschaften zeigen. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein optimalerweise ländlich gelegenes Zuhause mit eigenem Garten und Menschen, die Herdenschutzhunde kennen und deren Eigenschaften zu schätzen wissen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Guido

What life with Guido looks like

Guido 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 Guido, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Guido?: 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 Guido on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Guido 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 Guido 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 Guido 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 Guido 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.
