Moritz

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Moritz – friendly and brave young male dog 🫶 Moritz was secured at a very dangerous location with his brother Vito and his mother Irmela. Now he is in safety with us and can experience that life can also be friendly. Moritz is still quite shy but shows small progress every day. Especially in the company of other dogs, he feels comfortable, for he loves to play with his fellow animals and enjoys the shared playtime. His shortened tail does not hinder him in any way; he moves completely normally and happily. For Moritz, we wish loving people with patience and understanding. A home with clear structures will help him to gain more trust.

Moritz – freundlicher und tapferer junger Rüde 🫶 Moritz wurde gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Vito und seiner Mama Irmela an einer sehr gefährlichen Stelle gesichert. Nun ist er bei uns in Sicherheit und darf erleben, dass das Leben auch freundlich sein kann. Moritz ist noch recht schüchtern, zeigt aber täglich kleine Fortschritte. Besonders im Zusammensein mit anderen Hunden fühlt er sich wohl, denn auch er tobt sehr gern mit seinen Artgenossen und genießt das gemeinsame Spiel. Seine verkürzte Rute schränkt ihn dabei in keiner Weise ein, er bewegt sich völlig normal und fröhlich. Für Moritz wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen mit Geduld und Verständnis. Ein Zuhause mit klaren Strukturen wird ihm helfen, weiter Vertrauen zu fassen. Bitte beachten Sie allerdings, bevor Sie eine Anfrage stellen, unsere Informationsseiten zu Gedanken zu einer Adoption!

About Moritz

What life with Moritz looks like

Moritz is a puppy/kitten german shorthaired pointer dog waiting at Tierfreunde Griechenland e.V. in Recklinghausen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Moritz, answered.

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