Hugo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Hugo was rehomed directly from home by the owners and has found a great family according to the statement! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Hugo, purebred Labrador, 9 years old, classic Labrador, loves balls, water and children Hugo is "ball crazy", he loves his small round ball more than anything..... Labrador in general loves water, water combined with the ball is a great thing for him...... He likes children, it can happen due to his size that he runs over smaller children in the heat of the moment. But this is not meant badly. Usually he even apologizes with a dog kiss.

Hugo konnte direkt von zu Hause aus durch die Besitzer vermittelt werden und hat laut Aussage eine tolle Familie gefunden! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Hugo, reinrassiger Labrador, 9 Jahre, klassischer Labrador, liebt Bälle, Wasser und Kinder Hugo ist „Ball bekloppt“ er liebt seinen kleinen runden Kullerkumpel über alle Maßen….. Labrador bedingt liebt er das Wasser, Wasser in Kombination mit Kullerkumpel Ernst ist für ihn ne prima Sache…… Kinder mag er, es kann aufgrund seiner Größe schon mal Vorkommen, dass er kleinere Kinder im Eifer des Gefechtes um den Haufen rennt. Das ist aber wirklich nicht böse gemeint. Meist entschuldigt er sich sogar mit einem Hundekuss. Neugierig ist er und einfach nur zum knutschen

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Hugo, answered.

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