Marino

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Marino, born approximately 2021, neutered, approximately 60-65 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since December 2023. We took Marino from another shelter in December 2023, hoping to give him a chance at a good life. Yet, several years later, he is still with us and has not received a single inquiry. His best friend Pauli is in a similar situation. We can't understand this, because he shows himself to be a friendly, silly and people-oriented dog, who mastered his first walk with one of our volunteers brilliantly! He has become a bit quieter lately and has already impressed some volunteers with his pleasant nature. Now, all he needs is to find a family to move to. 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 for intestinal parasites and ectoparasites upon arrival 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.

05/2025 Marino, geboren ca. 2021, kastriert, ca. 60-65 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 12/2023 Marino haben wir aus einem anderen Shelter im Dezember 2023 übernommen und hofften, ihm den Absprung in ein gutes Leben zu ermöglichen. Doch mehrere Jahre später ist er immer noch bei uns und hatte in der Zwischenzeit keine einzige Anfrage erhalten. Seinem besten Freund Pauli geht es ähnlich. Wir können dies überhaupt nicht verstehen, denn er zeigt sich als freundlicher, alberner und menschenbezogener Hund, der seinen ersten Spaziergang mit einem unserer Volontäre ganz großartig gemeistert hat! Er ist in der letzten Zeit ein wenig ruhiger geworden und hat mit seiner angenehmen Art schon einige Volontäre begeistert. Nun fehlt ihm zu seinem Glück noch, endlich in eine Familie ziehen zu dürfen. 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 Marino

What life with Marino looks like

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

An 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. 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 Marino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marino?
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 Marino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marino 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Marino 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 Marino 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 Marino 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.
