Balou

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Balou genießt ab nun sein Leben in ⁠79111 Freiburg im Breisgau. Wir wünschen dem kleinen Kerl ein langes, glückliches Leben! Größe und Gewicht: kleine bis mittelgroße Endgröße Dieser hübsche Mischlingsrüde wurde ca im April 2026 geboren und sucht nun seine Menschen fürs Leben. Balou ist ein lieber, freundlicher und sehr sozialer Welpe, der sich unkompliziert und aufgeschlossen zeigt. Dabei ist er angenehm zurückhaltend und keineswegs aufdringlich – ein kleiner Kerl, der einfach gerne dabei ist und die Welt entdecken möchte. Da er sich so sozial gegenüber Artgenossen zeigt, können wir uns ihn auch wunderbar als Zweithund vorstellen. Ein bereits vorhandener, freundlicher Ersthund wäre für ihn sicher eine schöne Orientierung und ein toller Spielkamerad. Seine Endgröße wird vermutlich mittelgroß bis groß werden. Natürlich möchte er als junger Hund noch ganz viel lernen und sucht Menschen, die ihn liebevoll begleiten, ihm die Welt zeigen und gemeinsam mit ihm zu einem tollen Familienhund heranwachsen.

About Balou

What life with Balou looks like

Balou is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Streunerglück e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Balou, answered.

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