King

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

King, born approximately 10/2017, neutered, approximately 60 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 2018. King has unfortunately been at Maria's shelter for many years and never had the chance to find a home. The handsome male suffers greatly from the situation, is currently confined to a cage with a few dogs all day, as he experienced stress in the large outdoor pack. He is generally compatible with females and males, but in his home he should either be a single dog or have a female as a companion. He is not fearful, but has become increasingly reserved over time. We wish for him a home with empathetic and experienced people who can show him what a good dog life is like in peace and without time pressure or expectations. It should be okay in his new home if he never wants to go for walks or cuddle like a normal dog. Maybe he will be good for one or more positive surprises. A securely fenced garden with direct access to the house is a basic requirement. Currently located in Romania and allowed to travel 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 the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life at 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.

05/2026 King, geboren ca. 10/2017, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2018 King ist leider schon seit vielen Jahren bei Maria im Shelter und hatte nie die Chance, ein Zuhause zu finden. Der schöne Rüde leidet sehr unter der Situation, ist aktuell mit ein paar Hunden ganztägig im Zwinger eingesperrt, da er Stress im großen Freilaufrudel hatte. Er ist grundsätzlich verträglich mit Hündinnen und Rüden, in seinem Zuhause sollte er jedoch entweder Einzelhund sein oder eine Hündin als Gesellschaft haben. Er ist nicht ängstlich, aber im Laufe der Zeit immer zurückhaltender geworden. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihm in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte in seinem neuen Zuhause okay sein, wenn er nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist er dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus ist Grundvoraussetzung. 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 King

What life with King looks like

King is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting King, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about King?
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 King on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt King 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 King 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 King 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 King 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.
