Gusi

Mixed Breed · Male

Gusi was tied to a tree and simply left behind. Maybe the owners wanted to go on vacation and didn't feel like taking care of him. The circumstances aren't known, but it's believed that he wasn't used for hunting. Gusi is very thin and undernourished. Now he needs to be fattened up first. For that, Gusi has a big heart for cats, dogs, children, and of course for us humans. He is very quiet and very affectionate! He enjoys it when someone gives him time and attention. Of course, Gusi doesn't know our life yet and everything will be new. A big challenge for Gusi and his new owners. But together, learning the dog ABCs and daily training will bring them closer. And we are convinced that Gusi will be a good student! Applications can be made at www.pfotenhilfe-sachsen.

DE·Show original

Gusi wurde an einem Baum angebunden und einfach zurückgelassen. Vielleicht wollten die Besitzer in den Urlaub fahren und hatten keine Lust sich um ihn zu kümmern. Man kennt seine Umstände nicht, aber man glaubt nicht, dass er zur Jagd eingesetzt wurde. Gusi ist sehr dünn und unterernährt. Jetzt muss er erstmal aufgepäppelt werden. Dafür hat Gusi ein großes Herz für Katzen, Hunde, Kinder und natürlich für uns Menschen. Er ist sehr ruhig und sehr liebevoll! Er genießt es, wenn man ihn Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Natürlich kennt Gusi unser Leben nicht und alles wird neu sein. Eine große Herausforderung für Gusi und seine neuen Besitzer. Aber gemeinsam das Hundeeinmaleins lernen und tägliches Training, dass schweißt zusammen. Und Gusi wird ein guter Schüler sein, davon sind wir überzeugt! Bewerbung unter www.pfotenhilfe-sachsen.de

About Gusi

What life with Gusi looks like

Gusi is a large 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. 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. 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 Gusi, answered.

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