How do I contact the shelter about Pluto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Urme de Bucurie 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 — Urme de Bucurie 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 Urme de Bucurie 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 (RO). 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

Behind the strong body and imposing appearance of Pluto, lies a playful and very curious friend. Born in September 2022, Pluto is part of a large family, being one of the nine puppies of Gaia, who found shelter near the nuclear power plant in Cernavodă. After workers took care of them for a while, the whole family came into our care. Pluto is always seeking affection and human contact. He likes to receive cuddles and will never refuse a tummy rub session. Although his interactions with other dogs are limited at our center, Pluto behaves well with those around him. Although Pluto may show a slight insecurity in new situations, he manages to overcome his fears with the help of people or other dogs. With patience and encouragement, Pluto will learn to overcome his small challenges and adapt to life outside. Pluto needs a loving family that offers warmth and support, guiding him in his new adventure outside the shelter. He would be happy in a quiet environment, preferably in the countryside, where he has enough space to run and enjoy freedom. Pluto wears the harness easily and is curious during walks, enjoying to smell everything that catches his attention. Note: Pluto could live well with teenagers or well-behaved children, but his high energy and strength must be considered. Although he is curious about cats, his intentions are not completely clear, so a further test would be necessary if you want to adopt him in a house with cats.

În spatele corpului robust și înfățișării impunătoare ale lui Pluto, se află un prieten jucăuș și extrem de curios. Născut în septembrie 2022, Pluto face parte dintr-o familie numeroasă, fiind unul dintre cei nouă pui ai Gaiei, care a găsit adăpost lângă centrala nucleară din Cernavodă. După ce muncitorii au avut grijă de ei o perioadă, toată familia a ajuns în grija noastră. Pluto este mereu în căutarea afecțiunii și contactului uman. Îi place să primească mângâieri și nu va refuza niciodată o sesiune de alint pe burtică. Deși interacțiunile sale cu alți câini sunt limitate la centrul nostru, Pluto se comportă bine cu cei din jurul lui. Deși Pluto poate manifesta o ușoară nesiguranță în situații noi, el reușește să își depășească temerile cu sprijinul oamenilor sau al altor câini. Cu răbdare și încurajare, Pluto va învăța să își depășească micile provocări și să se adapteze la viața de afară. Pluto are nevoie de o familie afectuoasă, care să îi ofere căldură și sprijin, ghidându-l în noua sa aventură în afara adăpostului. Ar fi fericit într-un mediu liniștit, preferabil la țară, unde să aibă suficient spațiu pentru a alerga și a se bucura de libertate. Pluto poartă hamul cu ușurință și este curios în plimbări, bucurându-se să miroasă tot ce îi atrage atenția. Notă: Pluto ar putea trăi bine alături de adolescenți sau copii bine-crescuți, însă trebuie luată în considerare energia lui ridicată și forța sa. Deși este curios în privința pisicilor, intențiile sale nu sunt complet clare, așa că ar fi necesar un test suplimentar dacă dorești să îl adopți într-o casă cu pisici.

About Pluto

What life with Pluto looks like

Pluto is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Urme de Bucurie in Cernavodă.

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 Romania

Romanian rescues handle the highest volume of cross-border adoptions in the EU. Animals are quarantined and fully vetted before transport. Reputable rescues maintain detailed health records and post-adoption follow-up.
