Quincy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Quincy is big – no question about it. But perhaps that is exactly his greatest gift. For those looking for a big heart, it is often found in dogs just like him. Quincy is not one who can be overlooked, and yet it keeps happening. Large dogs have a harder time, even though they so often bring exactly what one wishes for: calm, good nature, honesty. Quincy is all of that. In April 2025 he was rescued from the Cornetu kill shelter, a place where his future seemed long sealed. Pleading, he hung at the rusty gate, seeking eye contact, seeking rescue – and he got it. Today he is here: friendly, curious, ready for a new life. Quincy is a truly lovable fellow, good with other dogs and open in his contact. He wants to please, wants to belong, wants to finally arrive. And for that he brings the best prerequisite: a big, warm, friendly heart. What he still needs to learn is life in the home – everyday routine, structure, security. But that is no obstacle; it is a shared path that he wants to walk together with his people. Quincy is not looking for perfection. He has modest expectations of life. He is looking for people who say, "Come on, let's do this together." People with room in their hearts – and perhaps a little more room on the sofa. Anyone who has ever trusted a big dog knows how much comes back. Quincy would be ready to show exactly that. We are looking for a home or a foster placement for this wonderful fellow. Because of his impressive size, we see him more in a rural setting. Do you perhaps have a lovely spot free for Quincy? We would be glad to hear from you! Quincy will be vaccinated and microchipped and placed by the animal welfare association Vierbeiner in Not e.V after a positive pre-screening. General note on our dogs: Our dogs in Romania are visited regularly so that we can reassess their behavior and development over time. These personal impressions help us greatly in presenting each individual dog as accurately as possible. However, we would like to point out that a dog may show itself differently in a new environment – with new people, new routines, and new impressions. This is completely normal and part of any process of change. Many dogs even open up more quickly at home and show sides of themselves that were not visible at the shelter. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but they are not a guarantee of every behavior in a new environment. They are meant to provide guidance and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter – and what potential lies within it. We are convinced that with patience, understanding, and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and continue to develop positively.

Quincy ist groß – keine Frage. Aber vielleicht ist genau das sein größtes Geschenk. Denn wer ein großes Herz sucht, findet es oft in genau solchen Hunden. Quincy ist eigentlich keiner, den man übersehen kann, und doch passiert es immer wieder. Große Hunde haben es schwerer, obwohl sie so oft genau das mitbringen, was man sich wünscht: Ruhe, Gutmütigkeit, Ehrlichkeit. Quincy ist all das. Im April 2025 wurde er aus der Tötung Cornetu gerettet, einem Ort, an dem seine Zukunft längst besiegelt schien. Flehend hing er am rostigen Gitter, suchte Blickkontakt, suchte Rettung – und er bekam sie.Heute steht er hier: freundlich, neugierig, bereit für ein neues Leben. Quincy ist ein durch und durch lieber Kerl, verträglich mit anderen Hunden und offen im Kontakt. Er möchte gefallen, möchte dazugehören, möchte endlich ankommen. Und er bringt dafür die beste Voraussetzung mit: ein großes, warmes, freundliches Herz.Was er noch lernen muss, ist das Leben im Haus – Alltag, Routine, Sicherheit. Doch das ist kein Hindernis, sondern ein gemeinsamer Weg, den er mit seinen Menschen gehen möchte. Quincy sucht keine Perfektion. Er hat bescheidene Ansprüche an das Leben. Er sucht Menschen, die sagen: „Komm, wir machen das gemeinsam.“ Menschen mit Platz im Herzen – und vielleicht auch ein bisschen mehr Platz auf dem Sofa.Wer einmal einem großen Hund vertraut hat, weiß, wie viel zurückkommt. Quincy wäre bereit, genau das zu zeigen. Wir suchen für diesen tollen Kerl ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle. Aufgrund seiner imposanten Größe sehen wir ihn eher im ländlichen Raum. Hast Du vielleicht ein schönes Plätzchen für Quincy frei? Freuen uns, wenn Du dich bei uns meldest!Quincy wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft und gechippt von dem Tierschutzverein Vierbeiner in Not e.V vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Quincy

What life with Quincy looks like

Quincy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not 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 Quincy, answered.

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