HUGO

Podenco · Male · Young · 3 years

HUGO was found on the farm outside the village. There was no one nearby and he came to the animal shelter. HUGO had to get used to the animal shelter, but now he is friends with everyone. HUGO shares his pen with other dogs, male dogs, and female dogs, and it works well. He likes to go outside and run with the other dogs. He has energy and needs to get rid of it. A house with a garden would be very nice for HUGO. HUGO is social with people and wants to cuddle. Upon request, we can perform a cat test.

Hugo wurde auf dem Land außerhalb des Dorfes gefunden. Es war niemand in der Nähe und er kam ins Tierheim. Hugo musste sich an das Tierheim gewöhnen, aber jetzt ist er mit allen befreundet. Hugo teilt seinen Zwinger mit anderen Hunden, Rüden und Hündinnen, und das geht gut. Er geht gerne nach draußen und rennt mit den anderen Hunden. Er hat Energie und muss diese loswerden.Ein Haus mit Garten wäre für Hugo sehr schön. Hugo ist sozial im Umgang mit Menschen und möchte unbedingt kuscheln.Auf Anfrage können wir einen Katzentest durchführen.

About HUGO

What life with HUGO looks like

HUGO is a young adult podenco dog waiting at Dogs and Friends e.V. in Hanau.

An young 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. 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. Dogs and Friends 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 — Dogs and Friends 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 Dogs and Friends 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.
