Hubert

English Bulldog · Male · Young · 3 years

I've been at the animal shelter for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I'm a typical case of (likely) being bought through an internet sales portal and biting my new owner severely after just a few days in my new home. At that point, I was still quite young but unfortunately very dangerous. In calm situations without any reason to get upset, I'm a friendly, calm, and unproblematic dog. Then I let myself be touched anywhere, show a "bulldog-type" willingness to learn (so rather slow), and like to chill in the sun. However, with certain triggers, especially when seeing other dogs, I can handle them very badly and then exhibit redirected aggression, meaning I bite the other end of the leash. And with not insignificant body weight and with intent to harm. By now, I've practiced a lot, especially dealing with frustration, walking with other dogs, and one can say that my behavior has improved significantly. Nevertheless, it's unlikely that I'll become an angel, but I deserve a chance. Maybe a very experienced dog person will find me who can offer similar living conditions as here at the animal shelter. Because with the right muzzle, experienced people, a secure outdoor run for the day, my own bed at night, and occasional contact with trusted people, short walks, and training, I feel pretty good. But of course, my own home would be even better.

Ich bin schon vor einer ganzen Weile im Tierheim gestrandet. Leider bin ich ein typischer Fall von (vermutlich) über ein Internetsverkaufsportal gekauft und nach wenigen Tagen im neuen Zuhause mein Frauchen gebissen und schwer verletzt. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war ich noch recht jung und leider trotzdem sehr gefährlich. In ruhigen Situationen ohne Grund sich in irgendeiner Weise aufzuregen, bin ich ein gemütlicher, ruhiger und unproblematischer Hund. Dann lasse ich mich überall anfassen, zeige mich „bulldoggentypisch“ gelehrig (also eher langsam) und chille gerne in der Sonne. Allerdings kann ich mit bestimmten Reizen, hauptsächlich bei Sichtung anderer Hunde sehr schlecht umgehen und neige dann zu rückgerichteter Aggression, sprich ich greife das andere Ende der Leine an. Und das mit nicht unerheblich Körpergewicht und mit beschädigender Absicht. Mittlerweile habe ich sehr viel geübt, vor allem den Umgang mit Frust, das Laufen mit anderen Hunden und man kann sagen, dass sich mein Verhalten schon stark gebessert hat. Trotzdem wird vermutlich kein Engel aus mir werden und trotzdem habe ich eine Chance verdient. Vielleicht findet sich ja ein sehr hundeerfahrener Mensch, der ähnliche Haltungsbedingungen bieten kann, wie hier im Tierheim . Denn mit passendem Maulkorb, erfahrenen Menschen, einem gesichertem Auslauf für den Tag, eine eigene Butze nachts und zwischendurch Kontakt zu Bezugspersonen, kurzen Spaziergängen und Training, fühle ich mich eigentlich sehr wohl. Aber ein eigenes Zuhause wäre natürlich noch toller.

About Hubert

What life with Hubert looks like

Hubert is a medium-sized young adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheimverein Erfurt in Germany.

An young 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 Hubert, answered.

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