Guijo

Mixed Breed · Male

This poor boy was neglected by his owner, an alcoholic, and left in a very small enclosure without food and water. Due to his extreme malnutrition and health condition, Guijo was seized. Here at our shelter, we take care of him with love. Vet care being the best, he should forget the bad days and never go hungry again. And the caretakers say: Guijo is a real treasure. He is a kind, quiet, and obedient dog. He gets along well with other dogs, and children are no problem for him. Guijo is a hunting dog, but seems not to have been used for hunting in recent times. Guijo wishes for a family that simply loves him, bringing patience and time to make his family life possible.

DE·Show original

Dieser arme Junge wurde von seinem Besitzer, einen Alkoholiker vernachlässigt und ohne Nahrung und Wasser in einem sehr kleinen Gehege zurückgelassen. Aufgrund seiner extremen Unterernährung und seinem Gesundheitszustand wurde Guijo beschlagnahmt. Hier im Refugium kümmert man sich liebevoll ihn. Tierärztlich bestens versorgt, soll er die schlechten Tage vergessen und niemals mehr hungern. Und die Pfleger sagen: Guijo ist ein echter Schatz. Er ist ein netter, ruhiger und gehorsamer Hund. Er ist verträglich mit den anderen Hunden und auch Kinder sind kein Problem für ihn. Guijo ist ein Jagdhund, scheint aber seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr für die Jagd eingesetzt worden zu sein. Guijo wünscht sich eine Familie, die ihn einfach nur liebhaben, die Geduld und Zeit mitbringen, um ihn ein Familienleben zu ermöglichen.

About Guijo

What life with Guijo looks like

Guijo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 Guijo, answered.

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