Babo

Mixed Breed · Male

Babo was rescued from Ancsa and Jozsi at the killing station. The handsome male dog was severely traumatized and had hidden in his hut for the first few weeks whenever a human approached. Gradually, he thawed out and developed trust, especially towards Jozsi, who often sat with him in the enclosure. Today, Babo is a cheerful, lively dog with a good relationship with his trusted people. However, as soon as strangers enter the animal shelter, he retreats to his kennel. During our visit, we could only observe him from a distance outside the enclosure. When he realized we were interested in him, it became too eerie for him, and he quickly retreated back to the safety of his hut, eyeing us from afar. Even treats did not convince him of our good intentions; he retreated to his hut and kept a watchful eye on us from a distance.

Babo wurde von Ancsa und Jozsi aus der Tötungsstation gerettet. Der hübsche Rüde war schwerst traumatisiert und hatte sich die ersten Wochen sofort in seine Hütte versteckt, wenn sich ein Mensch näherte. Nach und nach taute er auf und fasste Vertrauen, insbesondere zu Jozsi, der sich häufig zu ihm in den Zwinger gesetzt hatte. Heute ist Babo ein fröhlicher, lebhafter Hund, der ein gutes Verhältnis zu seinen Bezugspersonen hat. Sobald aber Fremde in das Tierheim kommen, verzieht er sich in seinen Kennel. Bei unserem Besuch konnten wir ihn außerhalb des Zwingers nur aus der Ferne beobachten. Als er merkte, dass wir uns für ihn interessieren, wurde es ihm zu unheimlich und er lief schnell zurück in die Sicherheit seines Zwingers. Auch Leckerchen überzeugten ihn nicht von unseren guten Absichten, er zog sich in seine Hütte zurück und beäugte uns aus der Ferne.

About Babo

What life with Babo looks like

Babo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

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 Babo, answered.

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