Justus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Justus, born approximately December 2022, neutered, approximately 60 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since February 2023. Justus was rescued as a puppy from one of the public animal shelters, where he would likely not have survived. He has since grown into a handsome and beautiful male who unfortunately has not received any inquiries yet. He is a friendly, tolerant, and calm dog, and we do not understand why no one has shown interest in him. We cannot rule out that Justus is partly a livestock guardian dog. He could therefore show corresponding characteristics in a home. We therefore wish for him an optimally rural home with its own garden and people who know livestock guardian dogs and appreciate their characteristics. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

01/2026 Justus, geboren ca. 12/2022, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 02/2023 Justus wurde als Welpe aus einem der öffentlichen Tierheime gerettet, denn dort hätte er höchstwahrscheinlich nicht überlebt. Mittlerweile ist aus ihm ein stattlicher und wunderschöner Rüde geworden der leider bisher noch keine Anfrage hatte. Er ist ein freundlicher, verträglicher und in sich ruhender Hund und wir verstehen überhaupt nicht, weshalb sich noch niemand für ihn interessiert hat. Wir können nicht ausschließen, dass Justus zum Teil Herdenschutzhund ist. Er könnte daher in einem Zuhause entsprechende Eigenschaften zeigen. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein optimalerweise ländlich gelegenes Zuhause mit eigenem Garten und Menschen, die Herdenschutzhunde kennen und deren Eigenschaften zu schätzen wissen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Justus

What life with Justus looks like

Justus is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Justus, answered.

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