Adopt Gusztáv

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

The sweet Gusztáv was taken in together with his siblings at our shelter. After treatment for a skin condition, he is now healthy and ready to start his new life and explore the world. Gusztáv is a friendly, calm, and very people-oriented puppy. He enjoys every form of attention, loves being close, and snuggles for his life. With his loyal eyes and gentle nature, he conquers hearts in a storm. As he has not yet had many experiences, he still needs to learn the basics of being a dog. Walks, environmental stimuli, and new situations are still new to him. With patience, understanding, and loving guidance, he will master these things quickly. We wish Gusztáv a family that gives him the time to settle in and shows him how wonderful a dog life can be. With other dogs and understanding children, we can imagine the little treasure well. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – The Path to a New Life – Tel. and Mail: including safety harness. As we are working, we may not be able to respond to you until several hours later. It is best to contact the above mediator initially in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a callback (don't forget to mention your phone number). Please be patient! Our shelter dogs travel with Traces and are exclusively rehomed to Germany (nationwide). If you are applying for a dog and live in a rental property, please arrange a written landlord reference stating that the husbandry of (another or a new) dog is permitted. We can only place dogs that do not require an elevator in the second floor or lower to prevent health limitations.

Der süße Gusztáv wurde gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern im Tierheim aufgenommen. Nach der Behandlung einer Hauterkrankung ist er nun gesund und bereit, in sein neues Leben zu starten und die Welt zu entdecken. Gusztáv ist ein freundlicher, ruhiger und sehr menschenbezogener Welpe. Er genießt jede Form von Aufmerksamkeit, liebt Nähe und kuschelt für sein Leben gern. Mit seinen treuen Augen und seinem sanften Wesen erobert er die Herzen im Sturm. Da er bisher noch nicht viele Erfahrungen sammeln konnte, muss er das Hunde-Einmaleins noch lernen. Spaziergänge, Umweltreize und neue Situationen sind für ihn noch etwas Neues. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und liebevoller Anleitung wird er dies aber sicher schnell meistern. Für Gusztáv wünschen wir uns eine Familie, die ihm die Zeit gibt, in Ruhe anzukommen und ihm zeigt, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Mit anderen Hunden und verständnisvollen Kindern können wir uns den kleinen Schatz gut vorstellen. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – Der Weg in ein neues Leben – Tel. und WhatsApp: Mail: Schutzgebühr: 440 € inkl. Sicherheitsgeschirr Da wir berufstätig sind, können wir uns u.

About Gusztáv

What life with Gusztáv looks like

Gusztáv is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Gusztáv, answered.

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