Astor

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Astor comes from our friend Bea from Slovakia. He was unfortunately injured during a fight at our animal shelter. His wounds had to be treated by a veterinarian. Since then, he has been afraid of other dogs. Despite this, he lives together with a female dog. Astor is reserved with strangers and needs to be convinced that you have good intentions towards him. He enjoys long and thorough walks, just like his people. We are looking for dog-experienced people to adopt Astor, preferably without small children. A confident female dog that Astor can look up to would certainly be an advantage.

Astor kommt von unserer Freudin Bea aus der Slowakei. Er wurde leider bei uns im Tierheim bei einer Beisserei verletzt. Seine Wunden mussten tieraerztlich versorgt werden. Seither hat er Angst vor fremden Hunden. Trotzdem wohnt er mit einer Huendin in zusammen. Astor zeigt sich bei Fremden zurueckhaltend man muss ihn davon ueberzeugen, dass man es gut mit ihm meint. Er mag lange und ausgiebige Spaziergaenge , ebenso wie seine Menschen. Wir suchen fuer Astor hundeerfahrene Menschen, ohne kleine Kinder. Eine vorhandene souveraene Huendin, an der Astor sich orientieren kann, waere sicherlich von Vorteil.

About Astor

What life with Astor looks like

Astor is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tuttlingen 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. 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 Astor, answered.

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