Adopt Baluk

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Profile: Age: Born around April 2024 Gender: Male neutered: Yes temperament: friendly, curious, initially quite shy towards strangers, compatible with fellow animals size: approx. 50 cm in height since in shelter: June 2024 siblings: Belani, Brady & (Ramon, Moana – already relocated) A friendly hello from the shelter! I am part of a six-member sibling group – 4 boys and 2 girls – who were found alone without our mother near the shelter gates in June 2024. Fortunately, we were discovered in time and brought to safety. Since then, we've lived here in the shelter, where we've experienced what it's like to be safe and to receive regular food and affection. Three of my siblings have already found their own homes in Germany. And now it's my turn. Old enough to pack my own bag and full of curiosity about life outside – I long more than anything to find my own family. I am a beautiful young male dog with glossy black fur and white socks on my front paws – a real looker! My body is well-built, but sometimes I still feel small in my heart. Especially towards strangers, I am still a bit shy and need a moment to build trust. However, I am very well-behaved when touched – even if it's not entirely comfortable at first. With a little patience and loving company, I will surely thaw out over time and show more of my true self. With familiar people, I am already calm, friendly, and attentive – I enjoy being close and observing what's happening around me. What I wish for? A family with heart, patience, and joy in shared adventures. People who show me how wonderful life outside the shelter can be – with walks, exploration trips, and of course lots of cuddle and settling in time. I don't just want to be a dog – I want to belong. To my family. Could you perhaps be the person who reaches out to me and shows me what a real dog life looks like? If you are interested in Baluk, please fill out our application form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Baluk is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. As Traces, one refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months of age, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariasis, and leishmaniasis. Antje S. has taken the guardianship for Baluk and ensures a full food bowl. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

Steckbrief Alter: ca. im April 2024 geboren Geschlecht: männlich Kastriert: ja Charakter: freundlich, neugierig, gegenüber Fremden anfangs recht schüchtern, verträglich mit Artgenossen Größe: ca. 50 cm Im Shelter seit: Juni 2024 Verwandte: Geschwister Belani, Brady & (Ramon, Moana – bereits ausgereist) Ein freundliches Hallo aus dem Shelter! Ich bin Teil einer sechsköpfigen Geschwistertruppe – 4 Jungs und 2 Mädels – die im Juni 2024 ganz allein ohne Mama nahe den Sheltertoren ausgesetzt wurde. Zum Glück hat man uns rechtzeitig entdeckt und in Sicherheit gebracht. Seitdem leben wir hier im Shelter, wo wir zum ersten Mal erleben durften, wie es ist, in Sicherheit zu sein und regelmäßig Futter und Zuwendung zu bekommen. Drei meiner Geschwister haben bereits ihr eigenes Zuhause in Deutschland gefunden. Und jetzt bin ich an der Reihe. Alt genug, um mein Köfferchen zu packen, und voller Neugier auf das Leben da draußen – ich wünsche mir nichts sehnlicher, als endlich meine eigene Familie zu finden. Ich bin ein wunderschöner junger Rüde mit glänzend schwarzem Fell und weißen Söckchen an den Vorderpfoten – ein echter Hingucker! Mein Körper ist kräftig gebaut, doch in meinem Herzen fühle ich mich manchmal noch ganz klein. Vor allem gegenüber Fremden bin ich noch etwas schüchtern und brauche einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Trotzdem lasse ich mich ganz artig anfassen – auch wenn es mir zu Beginn noch nicht ganz geheuer ist. Mit etwas Geduld und liebevoller Begleitung werde ich bestimmt nach und nach auftauen und mehr von meinem Wesen zeigen. Bei vertrauten Menschen zeige ich mich bereits ruhig, freundlich und aufmerksam – ich genieße Nähe und beobachte gerne, was um mich herum passiert. Was ich mir wünsche? Eine Familie mit Herz, Geduld und Freude an gemeinsamen Abenteuern. Menschen, die mir zeigen, wie schön das Leben außerhalb des Shelters sein kann – mit Spaziergängen, Erkundungstouren und natürlich ganz viel Zeit zum Kuscheln und Ankommen. Ich möchte nicht nur ein Hund sein – ich möchte dazugehören. Zu meiner Familie. Bist du vielleicht der Mensch, der mir die Pfote reicht und mir zeigt, wie ein echtes Hundeleben aussieht? Wenn Sie Interesse an Baluk haben, füllen Sie bitte unseren Interessentenbogen aus () oder schreiben Sie uns eine E-Mail an oder eine Nachricht über Facebook. Baluk ist ausreisefertig und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland reisen. Unsere Hunde reisen legal mit Traces. Als Traces bezeichnet man das Datenbanksystem, mit dem der gesamte Tierverkehr innerhalb der EU überwacht wird. Die Hunde reisen kastriert (insofern alt genug), geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt aus und besitzen einen EU-Pass. Des Weiteren wird bei Hunden ab 12 Monaten vor der Ausreise ein Schnelltest auf folgende Mittelmeerkrankheiten durchgeführt: Borreliose, Anaplasmose, Ehrlichiose, Dirofilariose und Leishmaniose. Antje S. hat die Patenschaft für Baluk übernommen und sorgt somit für ein gefülltes Näpfchen. Vielen Dank im Namen der Hunde!

About Baluk

What life with Baluk looks like

Baluk is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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 Baluk, answered.

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