Tofu

Chinese Crested · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Tofu was already a puppy when he was previously in the Egyeker killing shelter and could be taken to a foster home with an animal rescuer from there. However, he learned nothing there and would not allow himself to be touched. At the animal shelter, he is making slow progress, but he still has a fear of strangers. Tofu gets along very well with other dogs. Therefore, we are looking for people with experience with anxious dogs and ideally with a confident additional dog.

Tofu war bereits als Welpe schon einmal in der Egyeker Tötung und konnte von dort aus in eine Pflegestelle zu einer Tierschützerin ziehen. Jedoch lernte er dort leider nicht besonders viel, er war sehr ängstlich und ließ sich nicht anfassen als er in unser Partnertierheim kam. Mittlerweile hat er schon tolle Fortschritte gemacht, er ist zwar noch schüchtern und zurückhaltend Menschen gegenüber, aber auch immer öfter neugierig und an einem Leckerlie interessiert. Mit anderen Hunden versteht Tofu sich sehr gut im Tierheimhof. Wir suchen für Tofu liebe Menschen, die mit Tierschutzhunden schon Erfahrung haben und gerne einem weiteren Hund, der ihm hilft weiter Vertrauen aufzubauen. Kontakt: Ute Bachmann → WhatsApp oder

About Tofu

What life with Tofu looks like

Tofu is a puppy/kitten chinese crested dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Tofu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tofu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tofu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tofu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Herz für Ungarnhunde 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tofu 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 Tofu 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 Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tofu 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.
