Pirato

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Our partner Sandra is already known in her surroundings for helping animals in need. So, she also stepped in for this puppy. Allegedly, he had run into a family that couldn’t keep him. We don’t know for sure if this story is true, but ultimately, it’s not so important. What matters is that the young puppy didn’t end up in harm’s way or in one of those miserable caniles. After we offered our help, Sandra picked up the puppy in late March 2026 and brought him to her pension, where we met him during our team project tour in mid-April 2026. Pirato—we named him this because of the distinctive black spot around his right eye—is a very friendly, open young puppy who greatly enjoyed our affection and attention. By now, Pirato has also been microchipped and registered, and for organizational reasons, he has moved to Paola and Pierpaolo’s rescue from Stintino. He now lives with two other dogs in one of the spacious enclosures and seems to be very comfortable there. But even though Pirato is doing well in the rescue, his stay there is only meant to be of short duration. We hope to bring him to Germany as soon as possible so that he can move directly into his permanent family, where he can still enjoy the remainder of his puppyhood and imprinting phase in a family environment. Would you like to take the lovable Pirato into your family and give him a happy dog life? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption means not only joy but also work and great responsibility, then we look forward to your message. We provide nationwide support.

Unsere Partnerin Sandra ist in ihrem Umfeld schon dafür bekannt, dass sie Tieren in Not hilft. So nun auch bei diesem Hundebub. Angeblich war er einer Familie zugelaufen, die ihn aber nicht behalten konnte. Inwieweit diese Geschichte stimmt, wissen wir natürlich nicht. Letztlich ist es aber auch unerheblich. Wichtig ist nur, dass dem jungen Hund nichts Schlimmes passiert ist, dass er nicht ausgesetzt oder in eines der elenden Canile gesteckt wurde.Nachdem wir unsere Hilfe zugesagt hatten, holte Sandra den Hundebub Ende März 2026 zu sich in die Pension, wo wir ihn dann auch während unserer Team-Projekttour Mitte April 2026 kennenlernten. Pirato - wir haben ihm diesen Namen wegen seines markanten schwarzen Flecks um sein rechtes Auge so genannt, ist ein ganz freundlicher, aufgeschlossener junger Hund, der unsere Zuwendung und Aufmerksamkeit sehr genossen hat.Inzwischen wurde Pirato auch gechippt und registriert und aus organisatorischen Gründen ist nach Stintino in das Rescue von Paola und Pierpaolo umgezogen. Dort lebt er nun mit zwei weiteren Hunden in einem der geräumigen Gehege und fühlt sich augenscheinlich dort sehr wohl. Aber auch wenn es Pirato im Rescue gutgeht, soll sein Aufenthalt dort nur von kurzer Dauer sein.So bald wie möglich möchten wir ihn nach Deutschland holen, damit er hier - idealerweise ohne einen weiteren Umweg über eine Pflegestelle - direkt bei seiner endgültigen Familie einziehen könnte, damit er noch einen Rest seiner Welpenzeit und Prägephase schon in familiärem Umfeld genießen dürfte.Möchten Sie den liebenswerten Pirato in Ihre Familie aufnehmen und ihm ein glückliches Hundeleben schenken?Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur viel Freude bedeutet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Nachricht.

About Pirato

What life with Pirato looks like

Pirato is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pirato, answered.

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