How do I contact the shelter about Pluto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde Europa 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 — Tierfreunde Europa 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 Tierfreunde Europa 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.

Pluto

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Name: Pluto Breed: Mixed Breed Gender: male, neutered Date of birth: approx. 01.02.2022 Height at withers: approx. 65–70 cm Weight: approx. 27 kg Current location: Refugio des Tierschutzvereins Fudiacio d´Animals, Reus, Tarragona (Spain) Pluto is a stunningly beautiful, agile young dog in the prime of his life. We don’t know exactly where he came from, how he grew up, what he has experienced, or who his parents are. All we know is that Pluto was spotted roaming the streets for two weeks before luckily being brought to Craig’s private animal shelter. The male dog was terrified to the bone—understandably so… who knows what one expects when suddenly surrounded by so many dogs? Now, after a full year with Craig (as of 12/2024), everything has changed completely: Pluto has become open, friendly, affectionate, and playful with both people and other dogs. The photos speak volumes! With great certainty, we believe that having another dog already in the home would give him tremendous confidence during adoption—or alternatively, having many sociable dogs within your circle of friends. Would you like to give Pluto a loving home? He’s been waiting quite some time already and truly deserves a fresh start in life. Pluto will travel to his new life microchipped, vaccinated (rabies and 5-in-1), dewormed, tested for Mediterranean diseases, neutered, and equipped with an EU pet passport.

Name: Pluto Rasse: Mischlingshund Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Geburtsdatum: circa 01.02.2022 Widerrist: circa 65 - 70 cm Gewicht: circa 27 kg Aufenthaltsort: Refugio des Tierschutzvereins Fudiacio d´Animals, Reus, Tarragona (Spanien) Pluto ist ein wunderschöner agiler Junghund im Besten Alter. Woher er genau kommt, wie er aufgewachsen, was er erlebt hat oder wer seine Eltern sind, können wir nicht sagen. Wir wissen nur, dass Pluto zwei Wochen lang auf der Straße gesichtet wurde und dann glücklicherweise zu Craig ins private Tierheim kam. Der Rüde war verängstigt bis auf Mark – verständlich … wer weiß schon was einen erwartet bei so vielen Hunden? Mittlerweile, nach einem Jahr bei Craig (Stand 12/2024) hat sich das Blatt vollkommen gewendet: Pluto ist aufgeschlossen, freundlich, liebesbedürftig und verspielt mit allen Menschen und Hunden. Die Bilder sprechen Bände! Mit großer Sicherheit würde ihm bei der Adoption ein bereits vorhandener Hund sehr viel Kraft geben oder alternativ viele kontaktfreudige Hunde im Freundeskreis … Wollen Sie Pluto ein zu Hause schenken? Er wartet bereits einige Zeit und hat eine Lebensänderung verdient. Pluto reist gechipt, geimpft (Tollwut und 5-fach), entwurmt, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet, kastriert und mit EU-Heimtierausweis ausgestattet in sein neues Leben.

About Pluto

What life with Pluto looks like

Pluto is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Europa e.V. in Simonswald.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
