Adopt Tartufo

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Text does not come from owners but from the association Hunderrettung Europa e.V. Reluctantly, Tartufo must leave its current home as the employment situation of its owner has changed. Now, the sweet Felt Nose from Munich is searching for a new forever home or a foster home. Tartufo (approximately 53 cm and 30 kg) is a very affectionate and people-oriented four-legged friend who regularly demands his cuddle sessions and can never get enough. At home, he is a true treasure hunter: Once he has acquired his trophies (usually worn socks and empty toilet paper rolls), they are not easily given back. To prevent anyone from taking them, he simply lies on top of them and behaves very innocent. A very sweet, witty rascal who genuinely puts a smile on everyone's face. Additionally, he is very lively and loves to dash across meadows to burn off energy. He shows herding dog traits and displays some territorial behavior. Strangers, loud noises, and unpredictable movements are not to his liking. Accordingly, we are looking for a child-free and quiet home with dog-experienced people who can provide him with security, can lead him, and are physically suited to him. Tartufo gets along well with female dogs and dogs that are smaller than he is. He does not like large male dogs and reacts clearly. Tartufo can stay home alone. Once Tartufo has built trust, he becomes the most loyal companion to his people. His charming and playful nature is contagious. At the same time, he is absolutely cuddly – always on the lookout for closeness, cuddles, and a warm spot with his favorite people. Has the sweet Felt Nose piqued your interest? Then please contact us at the provided contact details. Tartufo is looking forward to meeting you!

Text stammt nicht von Besitzern, sondern vom Verein Hunderettung Europa e.V. Schweren Herzens muss Tartufo sein aktuelles Zuhause verlassen, da sich die Arbeitssituation seiner Besitzerin verändert hat. Jetzt sucht die süße Fellnase von München aus ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle. Tartufo (ca. 53 cm und ca. 30 kg) ist ein sehr liebevoller und menschenbezogener Vierbeiner, der regelmäßig seine Kuscheleinheiten einfordert und kaum genug bekommen kann. Zuhause ist er ein echter Schatzjäger: Hat er einmal seine Trophäen (meist getragene Socken und leere Klopapierrollen) ergattert, werden diese so schnell nicht wiederhergegeben. Damit auch wirklich niemand auf die Idee kommt, ihm diese zu klauen, legt er sich ganz selbstverständlich drauf und verhält sich äußerst unschuldig. Ein ganz süßer, witziger Racker, der wirklich jedem ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubert. Zudem ist er sehr lebhaft und liebt es, über Wiesen zu flitzen, um sich auszupowern. Er bringt Herdenschutzhund-Merkmale mit und zeigt teilweise territoriales Verhalten. Fremde Menschen sowie laute Geräusche und unvorhersehbare Bewegungen sind ihm nicht geheuer. Dementsprechend wünschen wir uns für den Vierbeiner ein kinderfreies und ruhiges Zuhause mit hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben, ihn führen können und ihm körperlich gewachsen sind. Mit Hündinnen und Hunden, die kleiner sind als er, kommt Tartufo gut zurecht. Große Rüden mag er nicht und reagiert deutlich. Tartufo kann gut zuhause alleine bleiben. Hat Tartufo erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, wird er zum treuesten Begleiter seiner Menschen. Seine charmante und verspielte Art steckt einfach an. Gleichzeitig ist er absolut verkuschelt - immer auf der Suche nach Nähe, Streicheleinheiten und einem warmen Platz bei seinen Lieblingsmenschen. Hat die süße Fellnase Ihr Interesse geweckt? Dann melden Sie sich gerne unter den angegebenen Kontaktdaten. Tartufo freut sich schon sehr, Sie kennenzulernen!

About Tartufo

What life with Tartufo looks like

Tartufo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ettlingen in Ettlingen.

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. 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 Tartufo, answered.

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