Popeye

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Popeye, born approximately April 2022, neutered, approximately 55 cm shoulder height, in the shelter since September 2022. Popeye and his siblings were given up by their owner Masha because the owners did not want puppies and intended to dispose of them. They first came to a foster family and then to Maria. Three of Popeye's siblings have already moved out, he and his brother Badges are still looking for a home. Popeye is a reserved and currently untouchable dog. He shows interest in people, but the shelter lacks the peace to approach and gain urgently needed positive experiences. Popeye is probably part Herdenschutzhund and could therefore show corresponding properties in a home. Therefore, we wish for him an optimally rural home with its own garden and people who know Herdenschutzhunde and appreciate their properties. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page:

04/2026 Popeye, geboren ca. 04/2022, kastiert, ca. 55 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 09/2022 Popeye und seine Geschwister wurden zusammen mit ihrer Mutter Masha abgegeben, da die Besitzer keine Welpen wollten und vorhatten diese zu entsorgen. Sie kamen zunächst in eine Pflegefamilie und schließlich zu Maria. Drei von Popeyes Geschwistern konnten schon ausziehen, er und sein Bruder Badges suchen noch ein Zuhause. Popeye ist ein zurückhaltender und momentan nicht anfassbarer Hund. Er zeigt Interesse am Menschen, im Shelter fehlt ihm jedoch die Ruhe um sich anzunähern und dringend benötigte positive Erfahrungen zu sammeln. Popeye ist vermutlich zum Teil ein Herdenschutzhund und könnte daher in einem Zuhause entsprechende Eigenschaften zeigen. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein optimalerweise ländlich gelegenes Zuhause mit eigenem Garten und Menschen, die Herdenschutzhunde kennen und deren Eigenschaften zu schätzen wissen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Popeye

What life with Popeye looks like

Popeye is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

An 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Popeye, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Popeye?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope for Future e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Popeye on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Popeye if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Popeye 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 Popeye 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Popeye 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.
