Pumba

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

A sweet Mastin mix named Pumba, approximately 2 years old, was rescued from a life in a kennel by animal welfare advocates. She is now in a shelter that is scheduled to close soon. Large dogs like Pumba often struggle to find a forever home, especially for those who are experienced in caring for dogs of this size and breed. We are seeking a family who can provide the necessary care and experience for Pumba. Pumba is described as affectionate and calm by the rescuers. She is very friendly and cuddly with people and gets along well with other dogs. Pumba walks well on a leash. We are looking for a family who ideally has experience with dogs of this breed. Please contact us.

Herkunft: Spanien Rasse: Mastin-Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich, kastriert Geb. Datum: ca. 01.01.2022 Schulterhöhe: groß Bei ihren vorherigen Besitzern musste die liebe Mastin-Mischlingshündin Pumba in einem Zwinger leben und konnte von Tierschützern in ein Tierheim gebracht werden, das nun bald geschlossen werden soll. Leider tun sich große Hunde schwer, eine Familie zu finden, die sich bei sich aufnehmen möchte und die die Erfahrung für die Haltung von Hunden dieser Größe und Rassen mit sich bringt. Und genau nach einer solchen Familie suchen wir für Pumba. Pumba ist ca. 2 Jahre alt und groß. Sie wird von den Tierschützern als anhängliche und ruhige Hündin beschrieben. Die anfängliche Schüchternheit legt sich schnell und dann ist sie Menschen gegenüber sehr lieb und verschmust. Auch mit Artgenossen zeigt sich Pumba problemlos und verträglich und läuft gut an der Leine. Für siesuchen wir nach einer Familie, die sich optimalerweise mit Hunden diesen Rassetyps auskennt. Wir bitten darum,

About Pumba

What life with Pumba looks like

Pumba is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Casa Animalis in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Pumba, answered.

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