Adopt Pino

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: Retriever-mixed breed Pino is a beautiful mixed-breed male dog who loves to be with his people all day. He is cuddly, attentive, and enjoys walks in the woods—where he can wonderfully relax. He walks well on a leash and his recall is reliable. Unfortunately, Pino has already gone through many stages in his young life. Each previous owner had different ideas of what a "well-trained dog" should be. This often unsettled him because Pino wants to do everything right—he just didn’t know what expectations were currently in place. As part of the HuKo project, in which Pino is currently being trained, he has made great progress. He is learning to maintain calm in difficult situations and to rely on his new strategies rather than falling back on old patterns.

Rasse: Retriever-Mischling Pino ist ein wunderschöner Mischlingsrüde, der am liebsten den ganzen Tag mit seinen Menschen zusammen ist. Er ist verschmust, aufmerksam und liebt Spaziergänge im Wald– dort kann er wunderbar entspannen. Er läuft prima an der Leine und auch sein Rückruf klappt zuverlässig. Leider hat Pino in seinem jungen Leben schon viele Stationen durchlaufen. Jeder Vorbesitzer hatte andere Vorstellungen davon, was ein „gut erzogener Hund“ ist. Das hat ihn oft verunsichert, denn Pino möchte eigentlich immer alles richtig machen – er wusste nur nie, welche Erwartungen gerade gelten. Im Rahmen des HuKo-Projekts , in dem Pino aktuell trainiert wird, hat er große Fortschritte gemacht. Er lernt, in schwierigen Situationen Ruhe zu bewahren und auf seine neuen Strategien zurückzugreifen, statt in alte Muster zu verfallen. Dieses Training wird auch nach seiner

About Pino

What life with Pino looks like

Pino is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung 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 Pino, answered.

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