Alfred

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Alfred wurde wegen Überforderung bei uns abgegeben. Ursprünglich stammt er aus Rumänien und war seit Welpe an bei seiner Vorbesitzerin. Warum er sich so entwickelt hat, wie es nun ist, ist für uns nicht nachvollziehbar. Jedenfalls hat er eine massive Ressourcenverteidigungsproblematik. Daran arbeiten wir und das ist auch in den Griff zu bekommen, wenn man gemeinsam mit uns das Training weiterführt. Klar muss man aber auch ein gewisser „Typ Mensch“ sein, um Alfred adoptieren zu können, denn der Kerl ist nicht zimperlich, wenn es um das Objekt seiner Begierde geht. Ansonsten ist Alfred allerdings ein ganz lieber Schmusebär und unauffällig, egal ob im Alltag oder beim Tierarzt. Er ist auch nicht nachtragend, wenn man mal mit ihm diskutieren musste und seine Aggression ist nicht personenbezogen.

About Alfred

What life with Alfred looks like

Alfred is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. in Leverkusen.

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. 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 Alfred, answered.

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