Timo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Timo, born approximately January 2023, neutered, approximately 60 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since March 2023 Timo is one of nine puppies collected by Romanian forest workers in late March 2023 and subsequently brought to Maria. Timo is therefore one of the few puppies from 2023 still waiting for their chance. Timo has lived at the shelter since puppyhood and has spent many years on the field with his brother. The small puppy has since become a strong, confident young dog. Timo is energetic, playful, and brings a lot of personality. He gets along well with other dogs and is generally a friendly, open-minded fellow who likes to experience new things and discover the world. After all the time at the shelter, it is finally time for Timo to find his own home. As he is probably part Herding Dog, he may develop corresponding behaviors in his new home. We therefore hope for a rural home with a fenced garden, preferably for people who have already had experience with Herding Dogs or their crossbreeds and appreciate their characteristics. Currently 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 against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites on arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The behavioral observations described are based on everyday life at 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.

08/2026 Timo, geboren ca. 01/2023, kastriert, ca. 60 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 03/2023 Timo ist einer von neun Welpen, die rumänische Waldarbeiter Ende März 2023 einsammelten und anschließend zu Maria brachten. Timo gehört damit zu den wenigen Welpen aus dem Jahr 2023, die noch immer bei Maria auf ihre Chance warten. Seit seiner Welpenzeit lebt Timo im Shelter und hat dabei viele Jahre gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder auf dem Feld verbracht. Aus dem kleinen Welpen ist inzwischen ein kräftiger, selbstbewusster junger Rüde geworden. Timo ist stark, witzig und verspielt und bringt ordentlich Energie und Persönlichkeit mit. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er gut zurecht und zeigt sich insgesamt als freundlicher, aufgeschlossener Kerl, der gerne etwas erlebt und die Welt entdecken möchte. Nach all der langen Zeit im Shelter wäre es für Timo endlich an der Zeit, dass auch er sein eigenes Zuhause findet. Da er vermutlich zum Teil Herdenschutzhund ist, kann es sein, dass er in seinem neuen Zuhause entsprechende Verhaltensweisen entwickelt. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein ländlich gelegenes Zuhause mit einem eingezäunten Garten, bestenfalls bei Menschen die bereits Erfahrung mit Herdenschutzhunden oder deren Mischlingen sammeln konnten und deren Eigenschaften zu schätzen wissen. 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 Timo

What life with Timo looks like

Timo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A young 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 Timo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Timo?: 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 Timo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Timo 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 Timo 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 Timo 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 Timo 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.
