Pluto

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 2 years

Pluto ist mit seinen Bezugspersonen grundsätzlich sehr freundlich und verschmust, allerdings oft noch sehr überschwänglich und aufdringlich. Höfliche Distanz und das Zurücknehmen fallen ihm noch schwer. Auch bei anderen Hunden ist er sehr aufgeregt, bei Hündinnen teilweise stark sexuell motiviert. Fremde Menschen akzeptiert er gut, wenn er entsprechend angeleitet und geführt wird. In Situationen, in denen Pluto etwas nicht möchte oder stark unter Reiz steht, kann er knurren und im Ernstfall auch nach vorne gehen. Bisher gab es Situationen, die hätten kippen können. In den meisten Fällen lässt er sich durch klare Ansprache und Korrektur wieder abbrechen. Pluto braucht daher eine klare, konsequente Führung. Wenn man ihm Entscheidungen überlässt, neigt er dazu, selbst zu entscheiden und kann dann territorialer und reaktiver werden. Wird ihm die Führung abgenommen, lässt er sich dagegen sehr gut lenken. Korrekturen nimmt er grundsätzlich gut an. Schwieriger fällt ihm momentan noch das Abbrechen bzw. Zurücknehmen, da er sehr selbstbewusst und körperlich stabil ist. Insgesamt ist Pluto ein typischer, kräftiger Rottweiler mit viel Charakter, der noch einiges lernen muss. Gleichzeitig lernt er sehr schnell, möchte seinem Menschen grundsätzlich gefallen und zeigt sich, wenn er darf, als großer Kuschelbär. Pluto wohnt aktuell auf einer Pflegestelle, wo er unter professioneller Anleitung trainert und resozialisiert wird.

About Pluto

What life with Pluto looks like

Pluto is a large young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Ulm in Ulm.

An young 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 Pluto, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pluto?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Ulm 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 — Tierheim Ulm 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 Tierheim Ulm 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.
