Sushi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Sushi – A Name to Make You Smile, a Dog to Fall in Love With Sushi is really called Sushi. Yes, truly! And honestly, a small, spirited terrier mix with a name like that is simply someone you have to meet, right?! But behind the funny name lies a story that is anything but amusing. Sushi is only two years old and has already been through a great deal of hardship. He was seized, along with many other dogs, from a poor living situation. Love, security, attention, and a species-appropriate life as a dog were, unfortunately, not a matter of course for him until now. But now everything is going to change. Sushi wants to finally live! Not be bored, not the same dull routine day after day – but with action, adventure, movement, and lots of fun. This young terrier wants to experience things, discover the world, go out with his people, and get up to plenty of mischief. That's why we are looking for people who enjoy outings just as much as Sushi does. An active family with children of school age would be wonderful – people who are eager to go on adventures together with him, keep him mentally and physically occupied, and show him how wonderful a dog's life can be. Of course, Sushi doesn't come without an "instruction manual." He is a self-confident little guy and may well come across as somewhat dominant – this is known from small terriers, and it's part of why we have grown so fond of them. Clear rules, consistent leadership, and loving but assured training are therefore important. Sushi still needs to learn which rules apply in his new life. These should be conveyed to him fairly and patiently – because boundaries give him security, and he will turn into a dream dog. And once Sushi has gained trust, his big heart will come to the fore: he is sweet, cuddly, and will form a close bond with his people. Once he has found his people, he will give everything for them – Sushi is the kind of dog who would go through fire for his family. His name may invite a smile – his fate should not. Sushi has so far had far too little opportunity to simply be a young dog. That is going to change now. Sushi is looking for his people. People with humor, heart, consistency, and a desire for an active life together. He is currently at our partner shelter LIDA in Sardinia, waiting there for his real life to finally begin. Pfoten Match e. V. However, the dogs must be picked up by their adopters at the handover location. If you would like to know more about Sushi, please feel free to contact his placement coordinator, Corinna Alsleben.

Sushi – Ein Name zum Schmunzeln, ein Hund zum VerliebenSushi heißt Sushi. Ja, wirklich! Und mal ehrlich: Einen so kleinen, temperamentvollen Terrier-Mischlingsrüden mit diesem Namen muss man doch einfach kennenlernen wollen?! Aber hinter dem lustigen Namen steckt eine Geschichte, die überhaupt nicht zum Schmunzeln ist. Sushi ist gerade einmal zwei Jahre alt und hat bereits viel Schlechtes erlebt. Er wurde aus einer schlechten Haltung mit vielen anderen Hunden beschlagnahmt. Liebe, Sicherheit, Zuwendung und ein artgerechtes Hundeleben waren für ihn bisher leider keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Doch jetzt soll sich alles ändern. Sushi möchte endlich leben! Nicht langweilig, nicht jeden Tag derselbe Trott – sondern mit Action, Abenteuer, Bewegung und ganz viel Spaß. Dieser junge Terrier möchte etwas erleben, die Welt entdecken, mit seinen Menschen unterwegs sein und ordentlich Quatsch machen. Wir suchen deshalb Menschen, die genauso viel Freude an Unternehmungen haben wie Sushi selbst. Eine aktive Familie mit Kindern ab Schulalter wäre wunderbar – Menschen, die Lust darauf haben, gemeinsam mit ihm Abenteuer zu erleben, ihn geistig und körperlich auszulasten und ihm zu zeigen, wie großartig ein Hundeleben sein kann. Natürlich kommt Sushi nicht ganz ohne „Bedienungsanleitung“. Er ist ein selbstbewusster kleiner Kerl und könnte durchaus etwas dominant auftreten, dies kennt man ja von den kleinen Terriern und deshalb sind sie uns ja auch ans Herz gewachsen. Klare Regeln, konsequente Führung und eine liebevolle, souveräne Erziehung sind deshalb wichtig. Sushi muss noch lernen, welche Spielregeln in seinem neuen Leben gelten. Das sollte man ihm fair und geduldig vermitteln – denn Grenzen geben ihm Sicherheit und er wird zum Traumhund mutieren. Und wenn Sushi erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst hat, kommt sein großes Herz zum Vorschein: Er ist lieb, verschmust und wird sich eng an seine Menschen binden. Hat er seine Menschen gefunden, wird er alles für sie geben – Sushi ist der Typ Hund, der für seine Familie durchs Feuer gehen möchte. Sein Name mag zum Schmunzeln einladen – sein Schicksal sollte es nicht. Sushi hatte bisher viel zu wenig Gelegenheit, einfach nur ein junger Hund zu sein. Das soll sich jetzt ändern. Sushi sucht seine Menschen. Menschen mit Humor, Herz, Konsequenz und Lust auf ein aktives gemeinsames Leben. Er befindet sich aktuell in unserem Partnertierheim LIDA auf Sardinien und wartet dort darauf, dass sein eigentliches Leben endlich losgeht. Pfoten Match e. V. Allerdings müssen die Hunde von ihren Adoptanten am Übergabeort abgeholt werden. Wenn du mehr zu Sushi wissen möchtest, melde dich gerne bei seiner Vermittlerin Corinna Alsleben.

About Sushi

What life with Sushi looks like

Sushi is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfoten Match e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Sushi, answered.

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