How do I contact the shelter about Hugo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierherberge Egelsbach 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 — Tierherberge Egelsbach 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. 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 Tierherberge Egelsbach 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Hugo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

HugoHugo Back 1 of 2 Previous Breed: Mioritic mixed breed Year of Birth: 2014 Color: beige Gender: male Size: large Neutered: yes Hugo came to us in April 2026 from Romania to our animal shelter. Unfortunately, he is almost blind, but he avoids larger obstacles and finds his way well in his enclosure. As he is already 12 years old, the walks should be adjusted accordingly, although Hugo enjoys going for walks and uses his walking aid well. Other dogs are no problem for Hugo; he walks past them without making a sound. Hugo is not a picky eater and has great fun looking for treats along the way and then enjoying them. Actually, Hugo could be renamed to "Snuggle Bear" as he loves being scratched and stroked. Due to his strong visual impairment, we are looking for a ground-floor home for Hugo where he can receive many cuddles and, of course, treats. More information about this dog?

HugoHugo Zurück 1von2 Vor Rasse: Mioritic Mischling Geburtsjahr: 02.2014 Farbe: beige Geschlecht: männlich Größe: groß Kastriert: ja Hugo kam Ende April 2026 aus Rumänien zu uns in die Tierherberge. Leider ist er fast blind, größeren Hindernissen weicht er allerdings aus und auch in seinem Gehege findet er sich gut zurecht. Da er bereits 12 Jahre alt ist sollten die Gassirunden entsprechend angepasst werden wobei Hugo gerne spazieren geht und sich dabei gut an seinem Gassigänger orientiert. Andere Hunde sind für Hugo kein Problem, er geht problemlos an Ihnen vorbei ohne einen Mucks zu machen. Hugo ist kein Kostverächter und er hat großen Spaß daran, unterwegs nach Leckerlis zu suchen und diese dann genüsslich zu verspeisen. Eigentlich könnte Hugo in „Schmusebär“ umbenannt werden, da er es liebt gekrault und gestreichelt zu werden. Bedingt durch seine starke Sehbehinderung suchen wir für Hugo ein ebenerdiges Zuhause indem er viele Streicheleinheiten und natürlich auch Leckerlis bekommt. Nähere Informationen zu diesem Hund? Falls Sie weitere Informationen zu diesem Hund wünschen oder ihn vielleicht sogar bei uns besuchen wollen, würden wir uns freuen, wenn Sie sich mit uns in Verbindung setzen würden. Email:

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. in Egelsbach.

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.
