Barnie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy

Current on Barnie, 05/18/2026: Barnie showed an unusual gait. He was unable to properly use his hind left leg. We had him examined by a veterinarian and he was also x-rayed. His right thigh is broken and the joint head of the left hind leg, which normally sits in the hip, is crushed. It could have all resulted from a car accident or a fall from a certain height. We will never know what happened. But if we want to help this wonderful and gentle dog now, he must be operated on and probably twice.

Aktuelles zu Barnie, 18.05.2026: Barnie wies ein auff�lliges Gangbild auf. Er konnte sein hinteres linkes Bein nicht richtig benutzen. Wir haben ihn tier�rztlich untersuchen lassen und er wurde auch ger�ntgt. Sein rechter Oberschenkel ist gebrochen und am linken Hintebein ist der Gelenkkopf, der normalerweise in der H�fte sitz zerschmettert. Es k�nnte alles von einem Autounfal stammen oder einem Sturz aus einer gewissen H�he. Wir werden nie erfahren, was passiert ist. Aber wenn wir diesem tollen und sanftm�tigen Hund nun helfen wollen, dann muss er operiert werden und dies vermutlich zwei Mal.

About Barnie

What life with Barnie looks like

Barnie is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Santorini e.V. in Mainz.

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 Barnie, answered.

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