Terrence

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Terrence, a male Terrier mix, born approximately 2022, neutered, about 40cm shoulder height, has been in the shelter since February 2024. Terrence was rescued with his larger and bolder friend Bud and has been living in Maria's Shelter ever since. While Bud loves human attention and is generally very curious, Terrence is very anxious and reserved. He needs time and positive experiences to build trust with humans. He may always be a bit shy, unfortunately, we cannot predict this. We are looking for a home for him with empathetic and experienced people who can show him what a good dog life is like in a calm and relaxed manner without pressure or expectations. It should be okay if he never wants to go for walks or cuddle like a normal dog. He may surprise us in a positive way. A securely fenced garden with direct access to the house is a basic requirement. Currently located in Romania and allowed to travel if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated for intestinal and ectoparasites at their arrival in the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the destination country. Please note the information on this page.

02/2024 Vollpatenschaft: Heike J. Terrence, geboren ca. 2022, kastriert, ca. 40cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 02/2024 Terrence wurde gemeinsam mit seinem größeren und mutigeren Freund Bud gerettet und lebt seitdem in Marias Shelter. Während Bud menschliche Aufmerksamkeit super findet und generell viel Neugier zeigt, ist Terrence sehr ängstlich und zurückhaltend. Er braucht noch Zeit sowie positive Erlebnisse um Vertrauen zum Menschen aufzubauen. Vielleicht wird er immer eher scheu bleiben, das können wir leider nicht vorhersagen. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause bei einfühlsamen und erfahrenen Menschen, die ihm in Ruhe und ohne Zeitdruck oder Erwartungshaltung zeigen, was ein gutes Hundeleben ist. Es sollte okay sein, wenn er nie wie ein normaler Hund Gassi gehen oder kuscheln will. Vielleicht ist er dann für die eine oder andere positive Überraschung gut. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten mit direktem Zugang zum Haus ist Grundvoraussetzung. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Terrence

What life with Terrence looks like

Terrence is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future 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 Terrence, answered.

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