Adopt Pedro

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Pedro – the beginning of something good! → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 09/2022 → Size / Weight: 52 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: When you see Pedro, you can't help but smile automatically. A real eye-catcher – his coat gleams like freshly polished between warm brown and noble dark brown-black. And that pattern! One might think someone really went out of their way to make him especially beautiful. Pedro has been with us since he was a puppy – and now it's really time for him to finally find his own family. Because one thing is certain: Being outdoors is the greatest for him! When Pedro lies in the grass, blinks, and has the wind in his nose, you can see on him: This is freedom, this is happiness. He wouldn't mind staying there forever – except perhaps to come over for some cuddles. People find Pedro great. He is friendly, open, and loves being petted. He gets along well with other dogs, and generally, he is simply a fine guy. Of course, there are still a few things he needs to learn – the whole dog 101, so to speak. Roads, sounds, the sofa (yes, that big soft thing people like to lie on) – all of this is still new to him.

Pedro – der Anfang von etwas Gutem! → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 09/2022 → Grösse / Gewicht: 52 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung: Pedro ist so einer, bei dem man automatisch lächelt, wenn man ihn sieht. Ein echter Hingucker – zwischen warmem Braun und edlem Dunkelbraun-Schwarz glänzt sein Fell wie frisch poliert. Und diese Zeichnung! Man könnte fast meinen, jemand hätte sich richtig Mühe gegeben, ihn besonders hübsch anzumalen. Pedro ist seit seiner Welpenzeit bei uns – und jetzt wird’s wirklich Zeit, dass er endlich seine eigene Familie findet. Denn eines steht fest: Draußen zu sein ist für ihn das Größte! Wenn Pedro im Gras liegt, blinzelt und den Wind in der Nase hat, dann sieht man ihm an: Das ist Freiheit, das ist Glück. Am liebsten würde er sich gar nicht mehr bewegen – außer vielleicht, um ein paar Streicheleinheiten abzuholen. Menschen findet Pedro nämlich klasse. Er ist freundlich, aufgeschlossen und liebt es, gestreichelt zu werden. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er gut klar, und überhaupt ist er einfach ein richtig feiner Kerl. Natürlich gibt’s auch noch ein paar Dinge, die er lernen muss – das ganze Hunde-1x1 sozusagen. Straßen, Geräusche, Sofa (ja, das große weiche Ding, auf dem Menschen gerne liegen), all das ist für ihn noch neu. Aber Pedro ist clever und neugierig, und mit Geduld und Humor wird er das alles meistern

About Pedro

What life with Pedro looks like

Pedro is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An 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. 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 Pedro, answered.

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