Pumpkin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Pumpkin is a dog who, despite his handicap, is simply full of life. In initial contact, he is initially uncertain, but once he has gotten used to someone or a situation, he is friendly and open. He gets along with other dogs, but it depends on their personalities. He walks well on a leash, but he is nervous on unfamiliar paths and often changes sides. We are looking for patient people who can give him time to slowly settle in. If you would like to meet Pumpkin, please call us at 06181-45116 or write to us.

Pumpkin ein Hund, der trotz seiner Blindheit, einfach lebensfroh ist. Im Erstkontakt ist er anfangs unsicher, hat er sich an jemanden oder eine Situation gewöhnt ist er freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Mit Artgenossen kommt er zurecht, hier entscheidet aber die Sympathie. An der Leine läuft er schon ganz gut mit, auf unbekannten Wegen ist er nervös und wechselt oft die Seite. Für ihn suchen wir geduldige Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben sich langsam einzuleben. Wenn Sie Pumpkin kennenlernen möchten, rufen Sie uns bitte an unter 06181 - 45116 oder schreiben Sie an

About Pumpkin

What life with Pumpkin looks like

Pumpkin is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Hanau in Hanau.

An young 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 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 Pumpkin, answered.

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