Hugo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hugo was found alone on the street. Unfortunately, nothing is known about his past. He is a charming little fellow, always friendly to people and his fellow animals, playful, and very active. Of course, cuddles should not be missing in the life of Hugo, for he is an absolute cuddle bug. The young hound puppy is looking for active two-legged companions and would have no objections to children (aged 10 and above) and already existing canine companions in his new family.

It is best to contact the above mentioned matchmaker initially in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a callback (don't forget to mention your phone number). Please be patient! Our shelter animals travel with Traces and are exclusively rehomed within Germany (nationwide). If you are applying for a dog and live in rented accommodation, please arrange a written landlord's permission stating that the housing allows for (another or a new) dog. We can only match dogs if there is no elevator, to prevent any health limitations.

Hugo wurde alleine auf der Straße gefunden. Über seine Vorgeschichte ist leider nichts bekannt. Er ist ein liebenswertes Kerlchen, stets freundlich zu den Menschen und zu seinen Artgenossen, verspielt und sehr aktiv. Natürlich dürfen auch Streicheleinheiten im Leben von Hugo nicht fehlen, denn er ist eine absolute Schmusebacke. Der junge Hundemann sucht bewegungsfreudige Zweibeiner und hätte gegen Kinder (ab 10 Jahren) und bereits vorhandene Hundekumpels in seiner neuen Familie sicherlich nichts einzuwenden.

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. 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 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 — 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Glück für Pfoten e.V. 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.
