How do I contact the shelter about Winston?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Adozioni del cuore e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Winston on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Winston if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Adozioni del cuore 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 Winston 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 Winston 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 Adozioni del cuore e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Winston 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.

Adopt Winston

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Name: Winston. Breed: Mix. Age: born 2016. Gender: male. Size: large. Neutered: will be neutered. Location / Country: Germany. ZIP Code: 23936. City: Grieben. Description: Winston – this fate makes one sad and angry… Winston currently lives in Bosnia in a cell of about 2 m². He has withdrawn from life, preferring to lie in his hut and stare blankly into the distance. Before landing in this cell, people tried to beat him to death. He narrowly escaped with his life. But to this day, he has lost trust in humans and lives hopelessly in a vegetative state… But Winston does not deserve such a life, and we want to change it. It will certainly be a long and not always easy road. But in the end, Winston will be grateful. The first step is to move him out of this prison to a trainer, have him medically examined, microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. Then, Winston will gradually be prepared for a future life with humans. Please help us help Winston! By sponsoring Winston, you can support us in our endeavor. A sponsorship today can lead to an adoption later. But in any case, it will lead Winston out of a long dark tunnel back to the light of life! Please contact us if you would like to support us. Winston deserves it more than anything! Cat-friendly: unknown. Compatible with fellow animals: with male dogs, with female dogs. Contact person: Frau Christine Sander. Email: « Egle (from Olivia) Alvin (with Antonietta) ». Gets along with other dogs.

Name: Winston. Rasse: MixAlter: geboren 2016. Geschlecht: männlichGröße: gross. Kastriert/Sterilisiert: wird kasteriert Aufenthalts Ort / Land: DeutschlandPLZ: 23936Ort: Grieben Beschreibung Winston – dieses Schicksal macht einen traurig und wütend… Winston lebt heute in Bosnien in einer ca. 2 m² großen Zelle. Er hat sich vom Leben abgewannt, liegt bevorzugt in seiner Hütte und starrt anteilslos in die Ferne. Bevor Winston in dieser Zelle landete, haben Menschen versucht ihn zu erschlagen. Nur knapp ist er mit dem Leben davon gekommen. Doch bis heute hat er das Vertrauen in die Menschen verloren und vegetiert hoffnungslos vor sich hin… Aber so ein Leben hat Winston nicht verdient und wir möchten es ändern. Es wird sicherlich ein langer und nicht immer leichter Weg sein. Aber am Ende wird Winston es danken. In einem ersten Schritt soll er aus diesem Gefängnis umziehen zu einem Trainer, ärztlich untersucht, gechippt, geimpft und kastriert werden. Dann soll Winston Schritt für Schritt auf ein späteres Leben mit Menschen vorberietet werden. Bitte helfen Sie uns Winston zu helfen! Mit einer Patenschaft für Winston können Sie uns bei unserem Vorhaben unterstützen. Eine heutige Patenschaft kann zu einer späteren Adoption führen. Aber in jedem Falle führt sie Winston aus einem langen dunklen Tunnel zurück zum Licht des Lebens! Bitte melden Sie sich, wenn Sie uns unterstützen möchten. Winston hat es mehr als verdient! Katzenverträglich: unbekannt. Verträglich mit Artgenossen: mit Rüden, mit Hündinnen Ansprechpartner: Frau Christine Sander Email: « Egle (von Olivia) Alvin (bei Antonietta) » Weitere Hunde

About Winston

What life with Winston looks like

Winston is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Adozioni del cuore e.V. in Wedel.

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.
