Pinto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Pinto ist ein großer, sehr sanfter Hund. Schon lange beobachten wir ihn, da er als Streuner in der Nähe des Tierheims lebte. Dort zeigte er sich mit anderen Hunden und Katzen stets verträglich und gutmütig. Pinto ist ein Herdenschutzhund – das bedeutet, dass er ursprünglich dafür gezüchtet wurde, Tiere zu bewachen und zu schützen. Herdenschutzhunde sind besonders loyal, aufmerksam und beschützend gegenüber ihren Menschen, brauchen aber klare Strukturen, liebevolle Führung und genügend Bewegung. Trotz seiner beeindruckenden Größe ist Pinto ausgesprochen sanft und liebevoll. Leider ereilte Pinto ein trauriges Schicksal: Ursprünglich kam er zur Kastration ins öffentliche Tierheim. Dort wurde festgestellt, dass er Leishmaniose positiv ist. Seither verweilt er im öffentlichen Tierheim. Wir klären euch hierzu gerne auf und geben Hinweise zum Umgang mit der Erkrankung. Pinto ist ein herzensguter Hund, etwas zurückhaltend, aber voller Potenzial, der beste Freund für jemanden zu werden. Er braucht dringend eine zweite Chance, das Leben im öffentlichen Tierheim ist leider trist und alles andere als schön. Wer gibt diesem sanften und lieben Hund die Möglichkeit, endlich die Welt außerhalb des Tierheims und der Straße kennenzulernen und die Liebe zu erfahren, die er verdient?

About Pinto

What life with Pinto looks like

Pinto is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

An 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. 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 Pinto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pinto?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 — Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 Fellnasen Stuttgart 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.
