Hugo (im bmt-Eifelhof Frankenau)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

mixed breed Hugo originally came from Romania and has been in the care of Eifelhof Frankenau since the end of April 2022. Hugo is a self-assured male dog whom we believe once had a home. Apparently, he never learned to accept boundaries there. He claims his resources (food, toys, doggy friends, or people) for himself and clearly shows that he does not want any discussions. For Hugo, we are looking for people who have a lot of experience with dogs and who know that it will take time to work through what was missed. Hugo should not be around small children. The small male dog with the big self-assurance enjoys attention and cuddles very much. He gets along well with fellow animals. Due to his jealousy, we would primarily recommend single housing for him. From the start, clear boundaries must be set with him so that he does not take over the household. However, Hugo can accept rules if they are consistently and lovingly explained. Hugo is a great type of dog who needs people who recognize and foster his potential. Hugo is currently living at our bmt-animal shelter Eifelhof Frankenau. If you are interested in meeting him, please contact the colleagues on site:

Mischling Hugo stammt ursprünglich aus Rumänien und ist seit Ende April 2022 in der Obhut des Eifelhofs Frankenau. 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. Hugo lebt zur Zeit in unserem bmt-Tierheim Eifelhof Frankenau.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hugo (im bmt-Eifelhof Frankenau), answered.

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