Verträglich mitRüden: NeinHündinnen: Nach Sympathie Katzen : noch nicht getestet Bei uns seit: 17.09.2024Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim ANAA Juni 2026 – Vasco ist ein junger mittelgroßer Rüde, der auf den ersten Blick vielleicht etwas zurückhaltend wirkt. Doch wer ihm Zeit gibt Vertrauen zu fassen, entdeckt einen außergewöhnlichen liebevollen und loyalen Begleiter mit einem großem Herzen. Hat er erst mal einen Menschen in sein Herz geschlossen, weicht er ihm kaum von seiner Seite. Er genießt jede Streicheleinheit, sucht die Nähe seiner Bezugsperson und schläft am liebsten ganz entspannt an ihrer Seite ein. Der intelligente Mischlingsrüde liebt es neue Sachen zu lernen und zeigt sich aufmerksam, gehorsam und lernfreudig. Sparziergänge machen ihm großen Spaß, besonders wenn er dabei seine Umgebung in Ruhe erkunden und spannende Gerüche entdecken darf. Wasser ist sein absolutes Element. Vasco ist ein selbstbewusster Hund mit Charakter. Fremden Menschen begegnet er zunächst vorsichtig und braucht Zeit um Vertrauen aufzubauen, man darf ihn nicht zu etwas drängen. Deshalb suchen wir für ihn Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die seine Signale und Körpersprache verstehen und ihn lesen können. Die ihm Sicherheit geben und bereit sind eine echte Beziehung aufzubauen und mit ihm zu arbeiten. Wer diesen Weg mit ihm zusammen geht, gewinnt einen treuen Freund fürs Leben. Mit ruhigen Hündinnen versteht sich Vasco grundsätzlich gut. Im Alltag zeigt er sich ausgeglichen, aufmerksam und sehr menschenbezogen. Er braucht kein besonderes Futter, ist gesund, gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Vasco wartet auf Menschen, die nicht nur einen Hund suchen, sondern einen echten Gefährten. Einen Hund, der mit seinem großen Herzen, seiner Intelligenz und tiefen Verbundenheit jeden Tag das Leben seiner Menschen bereichern wird. Wer Vasco eine Chance gibt, wird einen loyalen Freund an seiner Seite haben, der Vertrauen mit bedingungsloser Zuneigung belohnt.

About Vasco

What life with Vasco looks like

Vasco is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Vasco, answered.

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