Baloo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Lange Zeit war an Baloo kein Herankommen möglich. Im rumänischen Namaco-Tierheim lebt er bereits seit einigen Jahren. Der im Jahr 2014 geborene Rüde zeigt sich ein wenig scheu gegenüber Menschen, ganz besonders für ihn fremde Personen. Während unserer Herbstreise im Jahr 2021 verhielt sich Baloo jedoch anders als sonst. Betrat man den Zwinger, so lief er nicht mehr gleich panisch davon oder verkroch sich, sondern schaute dem Treiben im Zwinger neugierig zu. Menschen, die sehr viel Ruhe ausstrahlen, geduldig und ausgeglichen sind, wären für Baloo perfekt. Er braucht viel Zeit um sich an neue Situationen zu gewöhnen. Ohne Hektik und übereilt schnelle Bewegungen kann man sehen, wie Baloo's Anspannung abfällt. Dann wird er sogar so mutig und holt sich Leckereien ab, die er mittlerweile sogar schon direkt aus der Hand nascht. Auch ein Ersthund im neuen zu Hause wäre für unseren zurückhaltenden Hundemann toll. Baloo reist vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause.

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. in Bitterfeld - Wolfen.

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 Baloo, answered.

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