Pino

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

He was found abandoned in July and has found shelter with us. He is a wonderful boy, full of love and devotion, especially when it comes to people. His loving nature is contagious, and his heart is as big as his body. But what about his future? Many people look for the small, cute dogs that seem simple and manageable at first glance. But what they miss is the incredible treasure that lies in a dog like Pino. Large dogs like him have so much to give – they are gentle, loyal, and often the best companions one could imagine. It hurts to see how often people are put off by size and look instead for the small, sweet dogs. But what they don't see is Pino's enormous heart and his boundless need to be part of a family. He only wants to find someone who will give him the attention and affection he longs for so deeply. Pino urgently needs a home – one where his size is not seen as an obstacle, but as an expression of his strong personality. Whoever gives him this chance will find a loyal, joyful companion who wants to give his whole heart. Here are a few details in summary: Age: born approx. 04/2024 Size: 59 cm / 30 kg Character: active, very affectionate, extremely sweet Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: not yet tested Neutered before departure: yes Vaccinated & microchipped: yes

Er wurde im Juli ausgesetzt gefunden und hat bei uns Unterschlupf gefunden. Er ist ein wundervoller Junge – voller Liebe und Hingabe, besonders wenn es um Menschen geht. Seine liebevolles Wesen ist ansteckend, und sein Herz so groß wie sein Körper. Doch wie sieht es mit seiner Zukunft aus ? Viele Menschen suchen nach den kleinen, niedlichen Hunden, die auf den ersten Blick einfach und handlich wirken. Doch was sie verpassen, ist der unglaubliche Schatz, der in einem Hund wie Pino steckt. Große Hunde wie er haben so viel zu geben – sie sind sanftmütig, treu und oft die besten Gefährten, die man sich vorstellen kann. Es tut weh zu sehen, wie oft die Menschen sich von der Größe abschrecken lassen und lieber nach den kleinen, süßen Hunden Ausschau halten. Aber was sie nicht sehen, ist Pinos riesiges Herz und sein unbändiges Bedürfnis, Teil einer Familie zu sein. Er möchte nur jemanden finden, der ihm die Aufmerksamkeit und Zuneigung schenkt, nach der er sich so sehr sehnt. Pino braucht dringend ein Zuhause – eines, in dem seine Größe nicht als Hindernis, sondern als Ausdruck seiner starken Persönlichkeit gesehen wird. Wer ihm diese Chance gibt, wird einen treuen, lebensfrohen Begleiter finden, der sein Herz ganz und gar verschenken will. Hier noch ein paar Angaben zusammengefasst: Alter: geb. ca. 04/2024 Größe: 59cm/30kg Charakter: aktiv, sehr anhänglich, extrem lieb Verträglich mit Hunden: ja Verträglich mit Katzen: noch nicht getestet kastriert bei Ausreise: ja geimpft & gechipt: ja

About Pino

What life with Pino looks like

Pino is an extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Animal Hope and Liberty e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Animal Hope and Liberty 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 — Animal Hope and Liberty 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Animal Hope and Liberty 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.
