How do I contact the shelter about Hans?

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 Hans on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hans 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 Hans 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 Hans 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 Hans 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.

Hans

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Hans is a loving, friendly dog who enjoys the company of people. He is happy when you spend time with him and enjoys activities with his humans. Walks and training sessions would also bring him joy. With some practice, Hans can become a wonderful companion. Hans loves people and gets along well with children. He also gets along well with other animals. He is not dominant, but rather friendly, sometimes a bit rambunctious and full of life. We are looking for people who can show Hans what is expected of him with patience and loving consistency and who enjoy learning with him. Glück für Pfoten e.V. – The Way to a New Life – Tel. and WhatsApp: Email: Adoption fee: €490 incl. safety harness As we are employed, we may not be able to get back to you until a few hours later. It is best to contact the above-mentioned mediator in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a callback (don't forget to include your phone number if necessary). Please be patient! Our pets travel with Traces and are only placed in Germany (nationwide). If you are applying for a dog and live in a rented accommodation, please arrange for a written confirmation from your landlord that keeping a (further or new) dog is allowed. We place dogs on the 2nd floor at most if there is no elevator to prevent health problems.

🐾 Hans ist ein lieber, freundlicher Hund, der die Nähe zu Menschen sehr genießt. Er freut sich, wenn man sich mit ihm beschäftigt, und ist gerne dabei, wenn seine Menschen etwas mit ihm unternehmen. Auch Spaziergänge und gemeinsames Training würden ihm sicher Freude machen. Mit etwas Übung kann Hans zu einem richtig tollen Begleiter werden. Menschen findet Hans klasse und auch mit Kindern kommt er gut zurecht. Mit anderen Tieren versteht er sich ebenfalls gut. Dabei zeigt er sich nicht dominant, sondern eher wie ein großes Kind – freundlich, manchmal vielleicht noch ein bisschen ungestüm und voller Lebensfreude. Für Hans suchen wir Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, was von ihm erwartet wird und Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihm zu lernen.

About Hans

What life with Hans looks like

Hans is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

An 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
