Pinotto

Labrador Retriever · Male

Pinotto was surrendered by the Italian authorities to LIDA. He was in poor condition. He also had a prolapsed nictitating membrane gland in one eye, which was then corrected surgically. Pinotto is simply a treasure. He enjoys every bit of attention: being picked up, cuddled, and stroked. What matters most to him is having a person nearby who gives him a sense of security. Pinotto walks well on the leash and also gets along with all other dogs. The little guy looks like a miniature Labrador. He is no taller than 38 cm, yet he brings everything you could wish for in an animal companion. We are looking for a family or single person for Pinotto who will love him, nurture him, and never abandon him again. He would be happy to share a home with a first-time dog in the household. Children should be 10 years or older. Pinotto would appreciate a terrace and/or a small garden. We always recommend attending a dog training school so that people and dogs can grow together into a great team. Do you have questions about Pinotto? Then please feel free to get in touch. All dogs come microchipped, dewormed, and fully vaccinated, with transport to Germany registered with the German veterinary office as a matter of course.

Pinotto wurde von der italienischen Behörde in der LIDA abgegeben. Er war in einem schlechten Zustand. Außerdem hatte er eine Nickhautdrüsenvorfall am Auge. Dieser wurde dann operativ beseitigt. Pinotto ist einfach nur ein Schatz. Er freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit, lässt sich hochheben, knuddeln, streicheln – Hauptsache ein Mensch ist da, der ihm etwas Geborgenheit schenkt. Pinotto geht gut an der Leine und versteht sich auch mit allen Artgenossen. Der kleine Kerl sieht aus wie ein Mikrolabrador. Er ist nicht größer als 38 cm, bringt aber alles mit, was man sich von einem tierischen Begleiter wünscht. Wir suchen für Pinotto eine Familie oder Einzelperson, die ihn lieben, fördern und nie mehr im Stich lassen. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten 10 Jahre oder älter sein. Pinotto würde sich über eine Terrasse oder/und einem kleinen Garten freuen. Wir empfehlen immer den Besuch einer Hundeschule, damit Mensch und Hund zu einem tollen Team zusammenwachsen. Haben Sie Fragen zu Pinotto? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde kommen selbstverständlich gechipt, entwurmt und komplett geimpft mit einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport nach Deutschland.

About Pinotto

What life with Pinotto looks like

Pinotto is a small labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pinotto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pinotto?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pinotto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pinotto if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde whether they will for Pinotto, what they require (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 Pinotto already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde lists Pinotto as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pinotto isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pinotto 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.
