Umi

Bichon Frisé · Male · Young · 2 years

**🐾 Hallo, ich bin Umi!** Ich bin der Jüngste aus unserer kleinen Bichon-Bande und warte noch auf meiner Pflegestelle in Rumänien darauf, dass auch für mich endlich das große Abenteuer Deutschland beginnt. Gemeinsam mit vielen anderen Bichons wurde ich aus schlechter Haltung gerettet. Anfangs fiel es mir gar nicht leicht, den Menschen zu vertrauen. Aber meine Pflegefamilie zeigt mir jeden Tag, dass Hände auch streicheln können und Menschen freundlich und geduldig sind. Deshalb werde ich immer mutiger. Ich bin ungefähr Mitte 2024 geboren und trotz meines jungen Alters weiß ich schon ganz genau, was ich möchte – und auch, was ich nicht so toll finde. Meine Pflegemama sagt, ich habe einen starken Charakter. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die mir liebevoll, aber konsequent zeigen, wie das Leben als Familienhund funktioniert. Klare Regeln geben mir Sicherheit und helfen mir, mich zu entspannen. Mit anderen Hunden lebe ich problemlos zusammen. Ein souveräner Hundekumpel in meinem neuen Zuhause wäre sogar richtig schön, denn an ihm könnte ich mich orientieren. Auf meiner Pflegestelle übe ich bereits fleißig verschiedene Alltagssituationen und sogar Stadttraining, damit ich mich an viele neue Geräusche und Eindrücke gewöhne. Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch meine eigene hundeerfahrene Familie. Menschen mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem großen Herzen, die mir die Zeit geben, in meinem Tempo anzukommen. Ich verspreche: Wenn ich Vertrauen gefasst habe, werde ich ein treuer Begleiter fürs Leben. Vielleicht wartet mein Ticket nach Deutschland ja direkt zu euch? Euer Umi 🐾 Gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert

About Umi

What life with Umi looks like

Umi is a large young adult bichon frisé dog waiting at Cats & Dogs in Not in Furth.

An 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. 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 Umi, answered.

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