Adopt Pluto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Pluto is approximately four years old and was rescued from euthanasia; there, he exhibited many typical behaviors, and although they have improved somewhat at the animal shelter with Veronica, they are still present. He paces back and forth in his kennel. He is somewhat fearful of strangers, but not so pronounced that it cannot be remedied with love, patience, and a regular routine. He gets along well with male and female dogs. Pluto is an athletic dog who needs both mental and physical stimulation. Pluto hopes for a chance to show that he is a great dog and is looking for people with dog experience who can give him the time and space to flourish. He will be microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and rehomed after a positive home check. Contact:

Pluto ist ungefähr vier Jahre alt und awurde aus der Tötung geholt; Dort zeigte er viele typische Verhaltensweisen, und obwohl sie sich bei Veronica im Tierheim etwas gebessert haben, sind sie immer noch da. Er läuft in seinem Zwinger hin und her. Fremden gegenüber ist er etwas ängstlich, aber nicht so ausgeprägt, dass es sich nicht mit Liebe, Geduld und einem geregelten Tagesablauf beheben ließe. Er versteht sich gut mit Rüden und Hündinnen.Pluto ist ein sportlicher Hund, der die geistige und körperliche Auslastung braucht. Pluto hofft auf eine Chance zu zeigen, dass er ein toller Hund ist und sucht Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die ihm die Zeit und den Raum geben, sich zu entfalten. Er wird gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und nach positiver Platzkontrolle vermittelt. Kontakt:

About Pluto

What life with Pluto looks like

Pluto is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at TierNotTeam e.V. in Friesoythe.

An adult 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. 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 Pluto, answered.

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