Tano

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

TANO – a very special little guy Tano is a sweet, cuddly male dog of about 4 years old (40 cm / 12 kg). For over two years – well over half of his life so far – he lived in a Romanian dog pound, where he had to endure deprivation of all kinds, noise and unrest. Tano needs people with patience, empathy and understanding, who give him the time to build trust and gently and patiently nurture his fundamentally positive outlook on life. Since the beginning of January 2021, Tano has been living with his foster carers near Bocholt together with six female dogs and several cats, and he gets along well with all the animals. In the short time he has been with them, Tano has already made good progress, and he is very friendly toward the people he has come to trust, enjoying cuddles and being stroked. Indoors, Tano is a fairly balanced and calm dog; in the garden he runs and dashes about happily and energetically with the other females. Harness and lead were at first very frightening for Tano and presumably reminded him of bad times. By now these things have lost their terror, and Tano enjoys his walks in quiet surroundings, although he is still a little excited when out. Tano does not yet know children, and we cannot say how he would cope with the loudness and quick movements of children. Hectic movements startle him, and he does not want to be pressed upon. For this reason, we do not place Tano with children. Tano is house-trained as long as he goes outside regularly. Car journeys have so far caused him nausea. Tano is not food-aggressive. Tano has only experienced being left alone briefly in the company of his canine friends. Tano is such a lovable little fellow who makes small progress every day, but he is not a "dog on the side." On his path to a life free of fear and carefree, Tano will continue to need a great deal of support, which is why we are looking for experienced dog people who will stand by him, rejoice in his progress and appreciate all of Tano's good qualities. Tano will only be placed as a second dog, preferably with a confident female who gives him security, closeness and stability and plays with him. A calm household with a securely fenced garden and activities in woods and fields is the right environment for Tano. Tano is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, has his EU pet passport, has been treated for internal and external parasites, and all blood tests according to the Eastern Europe/Romania profile were without findings.

TANO – ein besonderes Kerlchen Tano ist ein ca. 4 Jahre alter knuffiger Rüde (40 cm/12 kg), der über zwei Jahre – also gut die Hälfte seiner Lebenszeit – in einem rumänischen Hundelager gelebt hat und dort Entbehrungen jeglicher Art, Lärm und Unruhe ertragen musste. Tano benötigt Menschen mit Geduld, Einfühlungsvermögen und Verständnis, die ihm die Zeit für den Vertrauensaufbau geben und seine grundsätzlich positive Lebenseinstellung sachte und geduldig fördern. Seit Anfang Januar 2021 lebt Tano auf seiner Pflegestelle in der Nähe von Bocholt mit sechs Hündinnen und mehreren Katzen zusammen und versteht sich mit allen Tieren gut. Tano hat sich in der kurzen Zeit bereits gut entwickelt und zu seinen ihm mittlerweile vertrauten Menschen ist er sehr freundlich, genießt Schmuse- und Streicheleinheiten. Im Haus ist Tano ein recht ausgeglichener und ruhiger Hund, im Garten rennt und flitzt er temperamentvoll und fröhlich mit den anderen Hündinnen. Geschirr und Leine waren Tano anfänglich sehr unheimlich und erinnerten ihn wohl an schlimme Zeiten. Mittlerweise haben diese Dinge ihren Schrecken verloren und Tano genießt seine Spaziergänge in ruhiger Umgebung, auch wenn er dabei noch ein wenig aufgeregt ist. Kinder kennt Tano noch nicht und wir können nicht sagen, wie er mit der Lautstärke und den schnellen Bewegungen bei Kindern umgeht. Hektische Bewegungen erschrecken ihn und er möchte nicht bedrängt werden. Daher vermitteln wir Tano nicht zu Kindern. Tano ist stubenrein, wenn er regelmäßig nach draußen kommt. Autofahrten verursachen ihm bisher Übelkeit. Tano ist nicht futterneidisch. Kurzes Alleinebleiben kennt Tano nur in Gesellschaft seiner Hundefreundinnen. Tano ist ein so liebenswertes Kerlchen, das jeden Tag kleine Fortschritte macht, er ist aber kein „Nebenbei-Hund“. Für seinen Weg in ein angstfreies und unbeschwertes Leben benötigt Tano weiterhin viel Unterstützung und deshalb suchen wir für ihn hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm dabei zur Seite stehen, sich an seinen Fortschritten erfreuen und all die guten Eigenschaften von Tano zu schätzen wissen. Tano wird nur als Zweithund vermittelt, gerne zu einer souveränen Hündin, die ihm Halt, Nähe und Sicherheit gibt und mit ihm spielt. Ein ruhiger Haushalt mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten und Aktivitäten in Wald und Flur, das ist das richtige Umfeld für Tano. Tano ist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, hat seinen EU-Heimtierausweis, ist auf innere und äußere Parasiten behandelt und alle Blutuntersuchungen entsprechend dem Osteuropa/Rumänien-Profil waren ohne Befund.

About Tano

What life with Tano looks like

Tano is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mit Tieren leben e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Tano, answered.

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