Balu

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Balu tieroase-heuchelheim.de, , .6.21 geboren Balu ist eine Mischung aus Bordeau Dogge – Cane Corso – Ridgeback! Drei Rassen, die in hundeerfahrene Hände gehören- oder noch besser, gar nicht erst gezüchtet werden. Alle drei Rassen sind keine Anfängerhunde! Balu ist ein typischer Vertreter dieser Rassen. Territorial und alles andere, als ein “Jedermannshund”. Diese Hunde brauchen eine Aufgabe, Platz und Beschäftigung. Sie sind ihrer Familie treu ergeben! Und trotzdem kann es zu Mißverständigungen kommen. Balu hat das dreijährige Kind der Familie gebissen. Aus welcher Situation heraus, ist nicht bekannt. Wenn ein Hund dieser Größe zubeißt, kommt es zu schweren Verletzungen. Das ist hier nicht der Fall, man vermuten kann, dass es ein Abwehrverhalten des Hundes war. Aber auch dieses darf ein Hund nicht! Es gibt noch ein Baby in der Familie, sodass die Eltern verständlicherweise kein Vertrauen mehr zu dem Hund haben und Angst, dass sich der Vorfall wiederholt. Balu soll so schnell wie möglich in geeignete und erfahrene Hände abgegeben werden. Für Balu ist eine Hundeschule Pflicht! Einzelunterricht wahrscheinlich erforderlich, denn leider ist er schwierig und unsicher im Umgang mit Artgenossen. Nach Aussage des Besitzers ist Balu eigentlich ein unsicherer Hund, was die Situation nicht einfacher macht. Es wäre die Rettung für den Hund, wenn geeignete Menschen diesen Notruf lesen und helfen könnten.

About Balu

What life with Balu looks like

Balu is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tieroase Heuchelheim in Germany.

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 Balu, answered.

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