Bacon

Rottweiler · Male

I am Bacon, the playful one, and I'm ready to start my new life. Unfortunately, my previous owner neglected me severely, which is still evident in my underweight condition. I didn't receive good food or regular walks, and there was no veterinary care. Currently, I'm still recovering here, but I would love to meet potential adopters. What should you bring to get to know this handsome guy? It would be great if you were already knowledgeable about dogs of certain breeds. Also, I would love to attend a dog school because I haven't had much training so far, which is very unfortunate. But with people, I have no problem at all. On the contrary, I greet bipeds warmly and always have a toy ready to offer, as I love playing for my life.

DE·Show original

ich bin der Spielverrückte Bacon und möchte nun in meine Zukunft starten. Leider wurde ich bei meinem Vorbesitzer schwer vernachlässigt, was man aktuell noch an meinem Untergewicht erkennen kann. Ich bekam weder gutes Futter, noch wurde ich regelmäßig zum Gassigehen ausgeführt, Tierarzt Fehlanzeige. Aktuell befinde ich mich hier noch in der Genesungsphase, würde mich aber schon über Verabredungen mit potenziellen Interessenten freuen. Was solltet ihr mitbringen, um mich feschen Typen kennenzulernen. Es wäre super, wenn ihr bereits sachkundig seid, da ich zu den Hunden bestimmter Rassen gehöre. Außerdem würde ich unheimlich gerne eine Hundeschule besuchen, denn wirklich viel Erziehung habe ich bisher noch nicht genießen dürfen, was sehr schade ist. Mit Menschen hingegen habe ich überhaupt kein Problem, ganz im Gegenteil. Zweibeiner werden immer freundlich begrüßt und habe ich gerade ein Spielzeug parat, wird dieses auch direkt angeboten, ich spiele nämlich für mein Leben gerne.

About Bacon

What life with Bacon looks like

Bacon is a adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Bacon, answered.

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