Mix Tango – schwarzer Weichflorteppich auf vier Pfötchen

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I am male, microchipped, and born around 2020. I have been waiting for a new home since April 2021. I am approximately 40 cm tall. My caretakers say about me: Tango came to us on a wild path and now seeks a new home. At first, he was shy and fearful but quickly warmed up and dances joyfully and actively between the legs when he sees a person. He is still cautious, but it is clear that in reality, Tango is a sassy, little fluffball who still has a lot to get through in life. He would love to be a warmly loved family member, where he would naturally need an adjustment period at the beginning. He would surely enjoy athletic activities, long hikes with the entire family, and plenty of petting and grooming sessions for his fluffy fur. He gets along well with fellow animals and gets along with both genders. Children should be, if possible, already bigger, as small two-legged ones who still have a lot of energy and are loud unsettle him. Once he is settled in, he shows this. So far, however, without active aggression. One could manage this with enough space and intensive training at home, if small children are present. Ideally, these are already bigger and are familiar with dog care. Solo excursions in the garden should also be put off until a bond is established, and should always take place in the company of someone. Doors or open gates encourage him to explore the neighborhood alone, even a tight leash bothers the fluffball, and he likes to gnaw on it unobserved. Tango requires, especially in the beginning, a lot of empathy, loving consequences, and the desire to explore the world together. Always supported by good guidance from the future owner, then he will quickly overcome his insecurities. Certainly, with some practice, he can also be accustomed to other animals, the bold little macho only lets his guard down when he feels safe. Macho still has a lot to learn, even though he already tries to be clean and walks nicely on the leash. Even car rides and visits to the vet are still not to his liking, but with enough empathy, this should not be a hindrance… Who has the desire to learn the right steps with Tango and then dance through life together?. Gets along with other dogs.

Ich bin männlich, gechipt und circa 2020 geboren. Ich warte seit April 2021 auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin circa 40 cm groß. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Tango kam auf Irrwegen zu uns und sucht nun ein neues Zuhause. Anfänglich eingeschüchtert und ängstlich taute er recht schnell auf und tänzelt hocherfreut und aktiv zwischen den Beinen rum, wenn er einen Menschen zu Gesicht bekommt. Er ist immer noch vorsichtig, aber es ist schnell zu erkennen, das Tango in Wahrheit ein frecher, kleiner Wuschel ist, der noch einiges in seinem Leben verzapfen wird. Gern wäre er ein heiss geliebtes Familienmitglied, wo er zu Beginn natürlich seine Eingewöhnungszeit benötigt. Bestimmt hätte er Freude an sportlichen Aktivitäten, großen Wanderungen mit der kompletten Familie und ausreichend Streichel und Pflegeeinheiten für das wuschelige Fell. Hier ist er verträglich mit Artgenossen und kommt mit beiden Geschlechtern gut zurecht. Kinder sollten, wenn möglich, schon größer sein, kleine Zweibeiner, die noch viel toben und laut sind verunsichern ihn.Wenn er sich eingewöhnt hat, zeigt er das auch .Bisher jedoch ohne aktive Agressionen. Man könnte das Ganze managen mit genug Raum und trainiert mit ihm intensiv im eigenen Haushalt, wenn kleine Kinder vorhanden sind. Idealerweise sind diese aber schon größer und sind Hundeumgang gewohnt. Alleingänge im Garten sollten auch erst mal unterbleiben, bis eine Bindung aufgebaut ist sollten diese anfänglich stets in Begleitung stattfinden. Türen oder offene Tore ermuntern ihn die Gegend allein zu erkunden, auch straffe Leinen stören den Wuschel, unbeobachtet kaut er diese gern an. Tango erfordert besonders in der Anfangszeit viel Einfühlungsvermögen, liebevolle Konsequenz und die Lust, gemeinsam die Welt zu erkunden. Immer unterstützt mit guter Führung durch den zukünftigen Besitzer, dann wird er seine Unsicherheiten schnell besiegen können. Bestimmt kann man ihn mit etwas Übung auch an andere Tiere gewöhnen, den kecken Minimacho lässt er ja nur raushängen, wenn er in Sicherheit ist.Macho muss noch einiges lernen, auch wenn er sich schon ganz passabel um Sauberkeit bemüht und fein an der Leine läuft. Auch Autofahrten und besuche beim Tierarzt sind ihm noch nicht geheuer, aber mit genügend Einfühlungsvermögen sollte das kein Hinderniss darstellen… Wer hat Lust, mit Tango die richtigen Schritte zu erlernen und dann gemeinsam durch das Leben zu tanzen?

What life with Mix Tango – schwarzer Weichflorteppich auf vier Pfötchen looks like

Can I adopt Mix Tango – schwarzer Weichflorteppich auf vier Pfötchen if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases.

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 Mix Tango – schwarzer Weichflorteppich auf vier Pfötchen 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 Tierheim Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mix Tango – schwarzer Weichflorteppich auf vier Pfötchen 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.
