Hugo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Hugo – a young mixed-breed male dog seeks a reliable home Hugo came into the world with his six siblings in the middle of a building in the city center of Tuzla in Bosnia. His first months of life were very challenging, and his mother did everything to protect her puppies. Eventually, the little family found refuge in the care of the animal shelter Nirina, where they have lived ever since. Hugo is a young, friendly, and open male dog. He is people-oriented, playful, and social in his interactions with other dogs. Age-appropriate, he is active and curious, but can also settle down when adequately engaged. On the leash, Hugo already walks well. He is eager to learn and continues to develop. Since he grew up in an animal shelter, he is not yet familiar with many everyday environmental stimuli. In a structured and patient home, he will be able to catch up on these experiences safely. For Hugo, we wish for a responsible and active home that offers him clear orientation, ample exercise, and mental stimulation. Hugo travels neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and with an international pet passport from Bosnia. Our dogs are only placed after a positive assessment.

Hugo – junger Mischlingsrüde sucht verlässliches Zuhause Hugo kam zusammen mit seinen sechs Geschwistern vor einem Gebäude mitten in der Stadt Tuzla in Bosnien zur Welt. Seine ersten Lebensmonate waren sehr schwierig und seine Mutter tat alles, um ihre Welpen zu schützen. Schließlich durfte die kleine Familie in die Obhut des Tierheims Nirina ziehen und lebt seither dort. Hugo ist ein junger, freundlicher und aufgeschlossener Rüde. Er zeigt sich menschenbezogen, verspielt und sozial im Umgang mit anderen Hunden. Altersentsprechend ist er aktiv und neugierig, kann aber auch zur Ruhe kommen, wenn er ausreichend beschäftigt wurde. An der Leine läuft Hugo bereits gut. Er ist lernwillig und entwickelt sich kontinuierlich weiter. Da er im Tierheim aufgewachsen ist, kennt er viele Umweltreize des Alltags noch nicht. In einem strukturierten und geduldigen Zuhause wird er diese Erfahrungen jedoch sicher gut nachholen können. Für Hugo wünschen wir uns ein verantwortungsbewusstes und aktives Zuhause, das ihm klare Orientierung, ausreichend Bewegung sowie geistige Auslastung bietet. Hugo reist kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und mit einem internationalen Heimtierausweis aus Bosnien. Unsere Hunde werden nur nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle, mit einem Schutzvertrag gegen eine nicht verhandelbare Schutzgebühr vermittelt.

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben e.V. in Linden.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben 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 — Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben 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 Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben 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.
