How do I contact the shelter about Hugo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) 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 — Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) 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 Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) 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.

Hugo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Mixed breed Hugo comes originally from Romania and has been in our care since the end of April 2022. Hugo is a confident male dog, whom we think once had a home. Apparently, he never learned to accept set boundaries. He claims his resources (food, toys, dog friends or people) for himself and then clearly shows that he doesn't want any discussion. For Hugo we are looking for people who have a lot of experience with dogs and know that it will take time until the missed opportunities are addressed. Hugo should not be with small children. The little male dog with great self-confidence enjoys attention and cuddles very much. He gets along well with other animals. Due to his jealousy, however, we would prefer to rehome him in single housing. From the beginning, clear boundaries must be set with him, so that he does not take over control in the house. However, Hugo can accept rules well if they are explained consistently and lovingly. Hugo is a great guy who needs people who recognize and support his potential.

DE·Show original

Mischling Hugo stammt ursprünglich aus Rumänien und ist seit Ende April 2022 in unsere Obhut. Hugo ist ein selbstbewusster Rüde, von dem wir denken, dass er früher mal ein Zuhause hatte. Offenbar hat er dort nie gelernt, gesetzte Grenzen zu akzeptieren. Seine Ressourcen (Futter, Spielzeug, Hundefreunde oder Menschen) beansprucht er für sich und zeigt dann auch deutlich, dass er keine Diskussionen wünscht. Für Hugo suchen wir Menschen, die bereits viel Erfahrung mit Hunden haben und die wissen, dass es Zeit brauchen wird, bis das Versäumte aufgearbeitet ist. Hugo sollte nicht zu kleinen Kindern. Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten genießt der kleine Rüde mit dem großen Selbstbewusstsein sehr. Mit Artgenossen versteht er sich gut. Aufgrund seiner Eifersucht, würden wir ihn jedoch vorrangig in Einzelhaltung vermitteln. Bei ihm müssen von Anfang an, klare Grenzen gesetzt werden, damit er nicht die Herrschaft im Hause übernimmt. Jedoch kann Hugo Regeln gut annehmen, wenn diese konsequent und liebevoll erklärt werden. Hugo ist ein toller Typ, der Menschen braucht, die sein Potenzial erkennen und fördern.

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Eifelhof Frankenau (BMT) in Germany.

An 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.
