adoption requirements adoption process Now adopt this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now adopt this dog! Picu has found its own home! His story: The little heartbreaker Picu is searching for his family! In his short life, Picu has already experienced a lot. Born in Romania, at around 3 months old, Picu was hit by a car and was only saved from certain death by two attentive vacationers who found him by the roadside. After two surgeries on his hind legs, the little scruffy managed to fight his way back to life and is now 1.5 months later in his foster family in Stuttgart. Currently, Picu is just under 5 months old. His open and playful nature has remained intact, and it melts every heart. Picu warms up very quickly in new environments as well as with strangers and other animals; he gets along with everyone and is always eager to make new friends. In new situations, such as on busy streets, he is initially cautious and observes, but shows no panicky behavior and can be immediately calmed and encouraged with clear, safe guidance. He learns very quickly and often shows what a bright little mind he has. However, he uses this to his advantage to play pranks. Here, patience and a steady hand are needed. He of course still has a lot to learn and is looking for loving but firm people to explore the world with him, teach him everything a little dog needs to know in the big world, give him guidance and security, and still let him be a puppy. And puberty is naturally right around the corner. His operated hind legs do not pose a hindrance; he dashes through the apartment in his "five minutes," jumps excitedly through sand, or leaps into his bed with a run-up. However, his muscles in the hind legs still need to be strengthened, and regular physiotherapy is good for supporting a strong and healthy bone structure. Very bone- and joint-stressful activities like agility or similar are probably not for him. The doctors in Romania advise leaving the plates in place, but a recheck will take place in Germany. Picu shows the best disposition to become, in the right hands, a loyal, adventurous, and uncomplicated companion. His charming nature and his cuddly, open, and sometimes comically loud personality make him the perfect addition to a loving family. Picu is microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated. The little man also has his EU pet passport in his luggage. As of November 29. A special thank you goes to German A.! You gave Picu its name and thus paved the way to a happy future.

Seine Geschichte: Der kleine Herzensbrecher Picu sucht seine Familie! In seinem kurzen Leben hat Picu schon einiges mitgemacht. In Rumänien geboren wurde er im Alter von etwa 3 Monaten von einem Auto angefahren und konnte nur dank zweier aufmerksamer Urlauber, die ihn am Straßenrand gefunden haben, dem sicheren Tod knapp von der Schippe springen. Nach zwei OPs an den Hinterläufen kämpfte sich der kleine Wusel wieder zurück ins Leben und ist nun 1,5 Monate später bei seiner Pflegefamilie in Stuttgart angekommen. Aktuell ist Picu knapp 5 Monate alt. Sein offenes und verspieltes Wesen konnte sich Picu bewahren und bringt damit jedes Herz zum Schmelzen. Picu taut sehr schnell auf in neuen Umgebungen sowie mit fremden Menschen und Tieren, er versteht sich mit allen und macht liebend gerne neue Bekanntschaften. In neuen Situation, zum Beispiel an viel befahrenen Straßen ist er anfangs vorsichtig und beobachtet, zeigt aber kein panisches Verhalten und lässt sich von einer klaren, sicheren Führung sofort beruhigen und ermutigen. Er lernt sehr gerne und schnell, zeigt immer wieder was für ein helles Köpfchen er ist. Dieses macht er sich aber auch zu Nutze um immer wieder Schabernack zu treiben. Hier braucht es Geduld und eine ruhige Hand. Er hat natürlich noch viel zu lernen und sucht daher nach liebevollen aber bestimmten Menschen, die mit ihm gemeinsam die Welt erkunden, ihm alles beibringen, was ein kleiner Hund in der großen Welt können muss, ihm Führung und Sicherheit geben und ihn dennoch Welpe sein lassen. Und die Pubertät steht natürlich noch direkt bevor. Seine operieren Beinchen stellen kein Hindernis dar, er rast in seinen „fünf Minuten“ durch die Wohnung, hüpft aufgeregt durch Sand oder springt mit Anlauf in sein Bett. Dennoch müssen seine Muskeln an den Hinterbeinen noch ein bisschen kräftiger werden und auch regelmäßige Physiotherapie tut ihm gut, um einen starken und gesunden Knochenbau zu unterstützen. Sehr Knochen- und Gelenkbelastende Beschäftigungen wie Agility oder Ähnliches sind aber vermutlich eher nichts für ihn. Die Ärzte in Rumänien raten dazu dass die Platten drin bleiben, aber eine erneute Abklärung findet dazu noch in Deutschland statt. Picu zeigt die beste Veranlagung, in den richtigen Händen ein treuer, abenteuerlustiger und unkomplizierter Begleiter zu werden. Sein charmantes Wesen und seine kuschelige, aufgeschlossene und manchmal zum Schreien komische Art machen ihn zur perfekten Vervollständigung einer liebevollen Familie. Picu ist gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Auch seinen EU-Heimtierausweis hat der kleine Mann im Gepäck. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann er gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro vermittelt werden. Ein besonderer Dank geht an German A.! Du hast Picu seinen Namen geschenkt und damit seinen Weg in eine glückliche Zukunft geebnet. Stand: 29.11.2025

About Picu

What life with Picu looks like

Picu is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Picu, answered.

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