Mastro

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Our clinic vet was in Sardinia again for a spay/neuter mission in May 2026. One of the dogs to be neutered was the nice Mastro. And Marco then had a special request for proTier to find a home for him. Of course, our vet immediately agreed, as the dog turned out to be very lovable and friendly. And on top of that, his special story tugged at the heartstrings. Mastro had come to the Canile as a puppy, and when a Sardinian family contacted the shelter to adopt the little one, it was clear they were doing the right thing for the small fellow. And now, five years later, the shelter in Rifugio learned that Mastro had not had a good life at all, but had spent all those years as a chained dog... They were deeply shocked, and Mastro was immediately taken away from his wretched "home." Now, Mastro should get the chance to find a truly beautiful home with loving people in Germany, where he can be happy with a close family bond. Do you want to give Mastro this dream home and help him forget all the suffering he endured? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and you are aware that adoption means not only a lot of joy but also work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We facilitate nationwide.

Unsere Vereinstierärztin war im Mai 2026 ja wieder mal für eine Kastrationsaktion auf Sardinien. Einer der Hunde, der kastriert werden sollte, war der nette Mastro. Und für ihn hatte Marco dann auch eine spezielle Bitte, und zwar dass proTier für ihn ein Zuhause suchen solle. Natürlich sagte Unsere Tierärztin auch sogleich zu, denn zum einen zeigte sich der Hund als sehr liebenswert und freundlich. Und zum anderen rührte auch sein spezielles Schicksal. Mastro war als Welpe ins Canile gekommen, und als sich eine sardische Familie meldete, die den Kleinen gern adoptieren wollte, war man überzeugt, das Richtige für den kleinen Kerl zu tun. Und nun – fünf Jahre später – erfuhr man im Rifugio, dass Mastro keineswegs ein gutes Leben hatte, sondern die ganzen Jahre als Kettenhund leben musste … Man war zutiefst erschüttert, und Mastro wurde sofort aus seinem elenden „Zuhause“ weggeholt. Nun soll Mastro durch uns die Chance bekommen, ein wirklich schönes Zuhause bei lieben Menschen in Deutschland zu finden, bei denen er bei engem Familienanschluss glücklich werden kann. Möchten Sie Mastro dieses Traumzuhause schenken und ihn all das Leid, das er erdulden musste, vergessen lassen? Mastros Schicksal hat uns sehr berührt. Deshalb war es uns bei unserem Besuch im Refugio besonders wichtig, den hübschen Rüden kennenzulernen.Da Mastro aktuell noch in einer der kleinen Quarantäneboxen untergebracht ist, durften wir mit ihm einen kleinen Spaziergang vor dem Refugio machen. Er hat den Ausflug sichtlich genossen. Das Laufen mit Geschirr und Leine war für ihn überhaupt kein Problem und auch uns fremden Menschen begegnete er offen und freundlich. Er kam auf uns zu und ließ sich gerne streicheln.Mastro ist ein wunderschöner Rüde mit einer tollen Größe und einem ganz lieben Wesen. Nach einem Leben voller Einsamkeit wünschen wir uns von Herzen, dass er nicht mehr lange im Refugio warten muss. Er hat es mehr als verdient, endlich in eine liebevolle Familie zu ziehen und das glückliche Hundeleben zu führen, das ihm so lange verwehrt geblieben ist.

About Mastro

What life with Mastro looks like

Mastro is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Mastro, answered.

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