Baltazar

German Shepherd · Male · Senior · 9 years

Name: Baltazar Location: Poland, Bełchatów Location: Sex: male, neutered Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: approx. 2013 Size: approx. 63 cm Baltazar is a wonderful male dog with a calm temperament. He is very friendly toward people, whether shelter staff or visitors. He also knows how to walk on a leash. Still, this handsome boy has been waiting at the shelter in Poland since January 2019. Perhaps it is because Baltazar would like to be the only prince in his new home? Unfortunately, he is not so fond of other dogs or cats. That makes it all the more important for him to find his people now. Life in a single kennel is terribly boring, and Baltazar would love a bit more attention than is possible in the daily routine of the shelter. Of course, Baltazar is vaccinated and microchipped.

Name: Baltazar Aufenthalt: Polen, Belchatow Aufenthalt: Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Rasse: Deutscher Schäferhund - Mischling Alter: * ca. 2013 Größe: ca. 63 cm Baltazar ist ein toller Rüde mit einem ruhigen Wesen. Er ist sehr freundlich zu Menschen, egal ob Tierheimpfleger oder Besucher. Und auch an der Leine zu laufen kennt Baltazar. Trotzdem wartet der bildschöne Rüde jetzt schon seit Januar 2019 im Tierheim in Polen. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass Baltazar im neuen Zuhause Einzelprinz sein möchte? Andere Hunde und auch Katzen mag er leider nicht so gerne. Umso wichtiger wäre es für ihn, jetzt seine Menschen zu finden. Das Leben im Einzelzwinger ist schrecklich langweilig und Baltazar hätte so gerne ein bisschen mehr Aufmerksamkeit, als es im Tierheim-Alltag möglich ist. Selbstverständlich ist Baltazar geimpft und gechipt.

About Baltazar

What life with Baltazar looks like

Baltazar is a senior german shepherd dog waiting at Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Baltazar, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Baltazar?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Baltazar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Baltazar if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe über Grenzen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Baltazar 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 Baltazar 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 Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Baltazar 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.
