75/20 Balu

Male · Adult · 6 years

Rasse : Appenzeller-Mix. Geschlecht : männlich Alter : 2017Im Heim seit dem: : 01.12.2020 Balu ist ein intelligenter und arbeitsfreudiger Hund, der gerne gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen aktiv ist. Er lernt schnell, arbeitet motiviert mit und bringt beste Voraussetzungen mit, wenn man ihm eine klare Aufgabe und eine verlässliche Führung bietet. Mit Artgenossen zeigt sich Balu grundsätzlich sozial und gut verträglich. Gleichzeitig steckt in ihm jede Menge Temperament und ein gewisser Dickkopf. Er hinterfragt Entscheidungen durchaus und braucht Menschen, die ihm konsequent und fair Grenzen setzen, ohne dabei die Geduld zu verlieren. Seinen Unmut äußert Balu deutlich durch Bellen. Fühlt er sich bedrängt oder in die Enge getrieben, kann er offensiv reagieren. Deshalb sucht er ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die seine Körpersprache frühzeitig erkennen, ihm Sicherheit vermitteln und ihn nicht in für ihn unangenehme Situationen bringen. Für Balu wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Hektik, in dem er klare Strukturen und eine souveräne Führung erhält. Gemeinsames Training und eine sinnvolle geistige sowie körperliche Auslastung sind für ihn wichtig und helfen ihm, sein Potenzial voll auszuschöpfen. Wer bereit ist, sich auf Balu einzulassen und ihm die nötige Orientierung gibt, gewinnt einen cleveren, loyalen und engagierten Begleiter, der viel Freude an der Zusammenarbeit mit seinen Menschen hat und mit der richtigen Führung ein zuverlässiger Partner werden kann.

About 75/20 Balu

What life with 75/20 Balu looks like

75/20 Balu is an adult dog waiting at Tierheim Nettetal in Nettetal.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting 75/20 Balu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about 75/20 Balu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Nettetal handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw 75/20 Balu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt 75/20 Balu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Nettetal 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is 75/20 Balu 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 75/20 Balu 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 Tierheim Nettetal early rather than rehoming privately; they know 75/20 Balu 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.
