How do I contact the shelter about Pinto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pinto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pinto if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Pinto 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 Pinto 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 Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pinto 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.

Pinto

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

♂, born ca. 10/25 - friendly - puppy-like playful - athletic in 31061 Alfeld Pinto is a ca. 10/25 born Galgo mix puppy who was simply abandoned at the animal shelter Siempre Contigo in Rota/Andalusia with his 4 siblings. Pinto currently has a shoulder height of 55 cm, which means he will grow to be medium to large. He has already moved to a foster home, where he still shows some shyness. We are urgently searching for a permanent home for Pinto with people who are ready to show a puppy how wonderful the world can be. He is currently in a foster home in 31061 Alfeld. We are looking for a home for Pinto in a non-urban environment, ideally with a house and garden, where he can at least not be alone initially. A puppy buddy would be great. Pinto is vaccinated and microchipped and can travel. The adoption fee for Pinto is 460,-- Euro. If you would like to give Pinto a beautiful puppy nursery, please apply using the contact form below. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. Created with Wix.

DE·Show original

♂ , geb. ca. 10/25freundlich - verspielt - sportlichin 31061 Alfeld Pinto ist ein ca. 10/25 geborener Galgo Español(-Mix?)-Rüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von derzeit 61 cm (gemessen 8/26). Pinto wurde Ende November '25 als kleiner Welpe mit seinen vier Geschwistern einfach vor dem Tierheim Siempre Contigo in Rota/Andalusien ausgesetzt und musste fünf Monate dort verbringen, bis er den Tierheimzwinger endlich verlassen durfte, um zu einer Pflegefamilie nach Deutschland zu ziehen. Pinto ist ein typischer Galgo, was bedeutet, dass er im Haus ruhig und anschmiegsam ist, und draußen richtig Gas geben möchte. Er liebt seine Menschen sehr, ist anhänglich und verspielt, Fremden begegnet er erstmal misstrauisch. Mit Artgenossen beiderlei Geschlechts ist er sehr gut verträglich. An der Leine geht er mittlerweile auch gut. Wir suchen für Pinto ein Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung, idealerweise mit Haus und Garten, wo er möglichst wenig allein sein muss. Ein Hundekumpel wäre super für ihn. Galgos sind Kurzstreckensprinter, was bedeutet, dass sie kurzfristig sehr schnell laufen können, aber wenig Ausdauer haben. Also ist eine tägliche Sprintrunde im Garten völlig ausreichend. Ansonsten sind sie mit regelmäßigen ausgiebigen Gassirunden zufrieden. Pinto ist bereits geimpft und gechippt. Er befindet sich in einer Pflegestelle in 31061 Alfeld. Die Schutzgebühr für Pinto beträgt 580 Euro. Wenn Sie Pinto ein Zuhause geben möchten, bewerben Sie sich bitte über das nachstehende Kontaktformular. ©2022 von Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V.. Erstellt mit Wix.com

About Pinto

What life with Pinto looks like

Pinto is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
