Andi

Greyhound · Male

Andi comes from the municipal animal shelter, where dogs are often not well treated. Andi has probably had no good experiences with people there. The staff there are not very loving, sometimes even rough in dealing with the dogs. Poor Andi has learned that people can be unfriendly. That's why he is initially a bit shy and sometimes still skittish. He then makes himself very small and ducks to the ground to appease his counterpart. Even if he now has nothing to fear and is met with love and care, the beautiful young dog is still cautious. Andi should move to a loving, patient home as soon as possible, so that he learns that life can be really great and that there are many loving people. If he lives in a quiet, stable home, he will probably soon leave his bad past behind and grow into a wonderful, secure dog. He gets along very well with other dogs, and he also gets along well with cats. We suspect that Andi is a greyhound mix, which means that he is likely to grow up. Who would like to take the dear Andi by the paw and give him love and security?

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Andi kommt aus dem städtischen Tierheim, wo die Hunde oft nicht gut behandelt werden. Auch Andi hat sehr wahrscheinlich dort keine guten Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht. Die Mitarbeiter dort sind nicht sehr liebevoll, manchmal auch grob im Umgang mit den Hunden. Der arme Andi hat gelernt, dass Menschen unfreundlich sein können. Deswegen ist er anfangs etwas schüchtern und ab und an noch schreckhaft. Er macht sich dann ganz klein und duckt sich auf den Boden um sein Gegenüber zu beschwichtigen, zu besänftigen. Auch wenn er jetzt nichts mehr zu befürchten hat und man ihm mit Liebe und Fürsorge begegnet, so ist der schöne Junghund noch vorsichtig.Andi sollte schnellstmöglich in ein liebevolles, geduldiges Zuhause ziehen dürfen, damit er lernt, dass das Leben richtig toll sein kann und dass es viele liebevolle Menschen gibt. Wenn er in einem ruhigen, stabilen Zuhause lebt, wird er seine schlimme Vergangenheit wahrscheinlich bald hinter sich lassen können und zu einem wunderbaren, sicheren Hund heranwachsen. Mit den anderen Hunden versteht er sich sehr gut, auch mit Katzen kommt er gut zurecht. Wir vermuten dass Andi ein Windhund-Mischling ist, das bedeutet, dass er wahrscheinlich groß werden wird.Wer möchte den lieben Andi an die Pfote nehmen und ihm Liebe und Sicherheit schenken?

About Andi

What life with Andi looks like

Andi is a small adult greyhound dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

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 Andi, answered.

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