Hubba

English Bulldog · Male

I am Hubba! I am a French Bulldog, three years old, unneutered, friendly and open-minded. I like people of all ages, but dogs are a matter of personal taste - I prefer males over females. However, cats and small animals would not have much fun with me. My curiosity drives me to new adventures every day, especially when it comes to sniffing games or trick dog training. The world outside is so exciting that I still struggle to walk loose on a leash, but hey, what can you do when everything smells so great or moves (I plead for acquittal ?). If we find a common hobby outdoors, I'm immediately fully involved and enthusiastic about it. What I am looking for is an active family with children at an age where they can play with me appropriately or enjoy a shared hobby. What I won't keep from you is that I cannot be left alone. Even when my mom (Bubba) is with me, I get nervous quickly, stressed and cry after my human. It gets better, but it's still a long way to go. Additionally, I have some health issues. I am allergic, so I need to watch what I eat and get an injection in the butt once a month. Due to my breed, I have problems with warm weather and prefer hopping around in the shade and early morning walks. Thanks to surgery, I can breathe well, but one ear is out of order. You may have read it on Facebook, I was found with fatty growths in both ears. One ear could be saved, but the other had to have its auditory canal removed. Now, enough negative stuff, I'm eager to meet you, if you feel the same way about me... I'm waiting ?

Hallo, ich bin Hubba! Ich bin eine Französische Bulldogge, drei Jahre jung, unkastriert, freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Ich mag Menschen jeden Alters, bei Hunden entscheidet natürlich die Sympathie, Rüden mag ich lieber als die weibliche Konkurrenz. Katzen und Kleintiere hätten mit mir jedoch wenig Spaß. Meine Neugier treibt mich jeden Tag zu neuen Abenteuern, besonders wenn es um Schnüffelspiele oder TrickDog geht. Draußen ist die Welt so spannend, dass ich mich noch schwertue mal locker an der Leine zu laufen, aber hey was soll ich denn tun, wenn da alles so toll riecht oder sich bewegt (ich plädiere auf Freispruch ?). Wenn wir draußen ein gemeinsames Hobby finden, bin ich aber sofort voll dabei und mache begeistert mit. Was ich suche, ist eine aktive Familie mit Kindern in einem Alter, wo sie mit mir angemessen spielen oder Spaß an einem gemeinsamen Hobby haben. Was ich Euch nicht verschweigen möchte, ich kann nicht allein bleiben. Selbst wenn meine Mama (Bubba) bei mir ist, werde ich schnell nervös, habe Stress und weine meinem Menschen hinterher. Es wird besser, ist aber noch ein weiter Weg. Außerdem habe ich ein paar gesundheitliche Probleme. Ich bin Allergikerin, daher muss ich auf mein Futter achten und bekomme einmal im Monat eine Spritze in den Fellpopo. Rassebedingt, habe ich bei warmem Wetter meine Probleme und ziehe da das Schattenhüpfen und Spaziergänge in den frühen Morgenstunden vor. Luft bekomme ich, dank einer OP zum Glück ganz gut aber ein Ohr ist außer Betrieb. Ihr habt es ggf. bei Facebook gelesen, ich wurde mit fetten Wucherungen in beiden Ohren gefunden. Ein Ohr konnte man retten, bei dem anderen musste der Gehörgang entfernt werden. Jetzt aber mal Schluss mit dem negativen Gedöns, ich habe Bock Dich kennenzulernen, wenn es Dir mit mir genauso geht … ich warte ?

About Hubba

What life with Hubba looks like

Hubba is a adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Hubba, answered.

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