Bacardi

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Bacardi lives currently on a foster home which offers him a springboard into a forever home. Bacardi has lived with his foster parent and two other dogs for over a year. He is a great everyday companion, whether for walks, longer car rides, a visit to a restaurant, a beach vacation, or accompanying someone to seminars or work – as long as Bacardi has a secure framework to orient himself in, he will go through thick and thin with his person. At 11 years old, Bacardi shows no signs of his age; he is an active and sporty dog and is therefore looking for a home with similarly active people. If Bacardi does not receive a secure framework, as in his previous home, it could lead to him using his teeth as a last resort. Thanks to his foster parent, Bacardi has developed a longer fuse, is very familiar with people he knows, and has become a more easily handled dog (assuming basic dog knowledge, of course 😉). The only thing he is not a big fan of are vet visits and being touched by strangers – even here, the longer fuse shows: where there was previously direct escalation, it is now mostly just growling. Bacardi therefore wears a muzzle at the vet, in a crowded restaurant, or in the city. (By the way, he wears this muzzle as easily as other people wear glasses 😊) Bacardi is well-socialized and could move into a home with a nice female dog. Since the human is more important to him, he would also be happy as a single prince. A quiet home with active people is sought. Bacardi would also be the ideal companion for a sporty retired couple or for people who can bring their dog to work. In the new home, Bacardi should not be left alone for more than 1-2 hours a day. Although Bacardi has so far been amiable in the presence of children, they should not live in the new home, as too much chaos or uninvited touching is not for him. Cats should also not live in the new home. A certain level of basic dog knowledge should be present in the new home, but well-structured beginner dog owners with the right sensitivity will also be gladly guided in their interactions with Bacardi. Bacardi was born in 2015 and is in overall good health. While nothing is known about the Bacardis breed, a mix of terrier and greyhound could be possible.

Bacardi lebt zurzeit auf einer Pflegestelle welche ihm ein Sprungbrett ins für-immer-Zuhause bietet. Bacardi lebt seit über einem Jahr bei seinem Pflegefrauchen und zwei weiteren Hunden. Er ist ein toller Alltagsbegleiter, egal ob Wanderungen, längere Autofahrten, Besuch im Restaurant, Urlaub am Meer, Begleitung mit zu Seminaren oder zur Arbeit - gibt man Bacardi einen sicheren Rahmen an dem er sich orientieren kann, geht er gelassen mit seinem Menschen durch dick & dünn. Seine 11 Jahre merkt man Bacardi überhaupt nicht an, er ist ein aktiver & sportlicher Hund und sucht deshalb auch ein Zuhause bei ebenso aktiven Menschen. Bekommt Bacardi keinen sicheren Rahmen, wie im vorherigen Zuhause, so kann es im Worst Case dazu kommen, dass er seine Zähne einsetzt. Dank seines Pflegefrauchens hat Bacardi eine deutlich längere Zündschnur entwickelt, ist mit ihm bekannten Menschen sehr vertraut und ist ein leicht handelbarer Hund geworden (Hundekenntniss vorausgesetzt 😉). Wovon er lediglich kein großer Fan ist, sind Tierarztbesuche und von fremden Menschen ungefragt angefasst zu werden - auch hier zeigt sich jedoch die deutlich längere Zündschnur: wo vorher direkte Eskalation war, bleibt es nun meist nur noch beim Knurren. Sowohl beim Tierarzt als auch im überfüllten Restaurant oder der Stadt trägt Bacardi demnach vorsichtshalber seinen Maulkorb. (Diesen trägt er übrigens so problemlos wie andere Menschen ihre Brille 😊) Bacardi ist gut sozialverträglich und könnte in ein Zuhause mit netter Hündin ziehen. Da ihm der Mensch aber deutlich wichtiger ist, wird er auch als Einzelprinz glücklich werden. Gesucht wird ein ruhiges Zuhause bei aktiven Menschen. Bacardi wäre auch der ideale Begleiter für ein sportliches Rentnerpärchen oder für Menschen die ihren Hund mit zur Arbeit nehmen können. Im neuen Zuhause sollte Bacardi täglich nicht länger als 1-2 Stunden alleine bleiben müssen. Auch wenn Bacardi sich bislang umgänglich in Anwesenheit von Kindern verhält, sollten diese dennoch nicht im neuen Zuhause leben, denn zu viel Trubel oder ungefragtes Anfassen ist nichts für ihn. Katzen sollten ebenso nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Im neuen Zuhause sollte eine gewisse Hundegrundkenntniss gegeben sein, aber auch gut aufgestellte Hundeanfänger mit passendem Feingefühl werden gerne im Umgang mit Bacardi angeleitet. Bacardi ist 2015 geboren und rundum in einem guten Gesundheitszustand. Zur Bacardis Rasse ist nichts bekannt, eine Mischung aus Terrier und Windhund könnte jedoch möglich sein.

About Bacardi

What life with Bacardi looks like

Bacardi is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Neuwied in Neuwied.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Bacardi, answered.

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