Urano

Mixed Breed · Male

Urano is a handsome English Setter-male dog. Is the two-and-a-half-year-old (as of 03/2023) Adonis purebred? Ask? We don't know, but it doesn't matter to us – we see that Urano is a wonderful, lovable dog who cannot deny his close relationship to the long-haired pointers. Urano was handed over to the animal shelter by his owner, as emotionlessly as if the affectionate male dogs were an old armchair for which there was no more space in the house. Obviously, Urano is not interested in hunting, but now the friendly floppy-eared dog has been under the care of Puntanimals for several weeks and our friends confirm that Urano is certainly a talented hunter. He successfully hunts his playmates, is skilled at finding well-hidden cookies in pockets and is unrivaled when it comes to cuddling, even the elegant gentleman with the big, dark round eyes. That Urano has no interest in hunting other animals does not mean that our teddy bear is not sporty. In the animal shelter, the cheerful setter is playful and eager to learn. He loves to go for walks and is always keen to form a good team with his human companions. He is attentive and focused, and also a calm and sociable companion during dog encounters, who makes friends quickly. Urano is therefore applying for a position as a family dog. To this end, he is looking for people who are experts in cuddling and petting, massaging and loving, who enjoy being outdoors and are familiar with various colorful toys. Urano has not had much experience with children so far, but actually finds people of all sizes and appearances great. He also has the patience and the enjoyment of being pampered, to be scratched behind the ears by grandma or grandpa for hours, he enjoys training with dad or mom for the next marathon and the TV program is irrelevant as long as he can relax on the couch with his best friends. You see, Urano is a dog for everyone (and we can truly not say that about all hunting dogs), he is compatible with large families, can easily move into an existing pack and is also ideal for the leading role as the "rooster (erm dog) in the basket," who is pampered by all the household members.

Urano ist ein bildhübscher English Setter-Rüde. Ob der zweieinhalb Jahre alte (Stand 03/2023) Adonis reinrassig ist, fragen Sie? Das wissen wir nicht, aber es interessiert uns auch nicht – wir sehen, dass Urano ein wundervoller, liebenswerter Hund ist, der seine enge Verwandtschaft zu den langhaarigen Vorstehern nicht verleugnen kann. Urano wurde von seinem Besitzer im Tierheim abgeliefert, so emotionslos, als handle es sich bei dem zärtlichen Rüden um einen alten Sessel, für den kein Platz mehr im Haus ist. Offensichtlich ist Urano nicht an der Jagd interessiert, aber nun lebt das freundliche Schlappohr schon seit einigen Wochen in der Obhut von Puntanimals und unsere Freunde bestätigen, dass Urano durchaus ein begabter Jäger ist. Er jagt sehr erfolgreich seine Spielkameraden, er ist talentiert bei der Suche nach gut versteckten Keksen in Hosentaschen und bei der Jagd nach Streicheleinheiten macht dem eleganten Gentleman mit den großen, dunklen Kulleraugen niemand etwas vor. Dass Urano keine Lust auf die Jagd auf andere Tieren hatte, heißt nicht, dass unser Kuschelbärchen nicht sportlich ist. Im Tierheim zeigt sich der fröhliche Setter verspielt und lernwillig. Er geht sehr gern spazieren und ist immer darauf bedacht, mit seinen menschlichen Begleitern ein gutes Team zu bilden. Er ist aufmerksam und konzentriert, und auch bei Hundebegegnungen ein ruhiger und umgänglicher Zeitgenosse, der schnell Freunde findet. Urano bewirbt sich also nun auf eine Stelle als Familienhund. Zu diesem Zweck sucht er Menschen, die sich mit Kuscheln und Streicheln, Massieren und Liebhaben bestens auskennen, die gern draußen und mit der Bedienung von verschiedenen bunten Spielzeugen vertraut sind. Urano hat bislang nicht viele Erfahrungen mit Kindern sammeln können, aber eigentlich findet er Menschen in jeder Größe und Erscheinungsform toll. Er hat außerdem die nötige Ruhe und das Genießergen, um sich stundenlang von Oma oder Opa hinter den Ohren kraulen zu lassen, er trainiert gern mit Papa oder Mama für den nächsten Marathon und das Fernsehprogramm ist ihm egal, solange er nur mit seinen besten Freunden auf der Couch entspannen darf. Sie sehen, Urano ist ein Hund für Jedermann (und das können wir wahrlich nicht über alle Jagdhunde sagen), er ist kompatibel mit Großfamilien, er kann ohne Probleme in ein bestehendes Rudel umsiedeln und eignet sich auch bestens für die Hauptrolle als „Hahn (ähm Hund) im Korb“, der sich von allen Bewohnern des Hauses nach Strich und Faden verwöhnen lässt.

About Urano

What life with Urano looks like

Urano is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An 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 Urano, answered.

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