Bartul

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Bartul is a beautiful German Shepherd mix whose life has been far from pleasant. He was alone in a kennel at the public shelter and was not coping well with the situation. The noise, chaos, and isolation were taking a toll on him, causing him to emotionally wither away. 💔 A caretaker noticed how much he was suffering and asked our animal welfare officer for help. This allowed Bartul and Maki to move into our kennels. There, it is much quieter, they receive more attention, and they are finally experiencing human interaction again. Bartul needed some time to recover physically from this difficult period. Fortunately, he is doing well now. ❤️ And now, his true nature is emerging: playful, affectionate, people-oriented, and eager to learn. He already walks nicely on a leash and enjoys car rides. Bartul also gets along well with other dogs, both females and males. As a typical Shepherd, Bartul is intelligent, attentive, and wants to work with his humans. He needs exercise and mental stimulation, but most of all, he needs people to guide him, provide him with calm, clarity, and loving consistency to give him a sense of security. Therefore, we are looking for a home for Bartul with people who understand what it means to own a Shepherd and are willing to give him a real chance. Because we want to be honest: sensitive Shepherds like Bartul can be stressed or uncertain after such a life and a complete change of environment. No one can promise that everything will work out perfectly from day one. Bartul needs people who give him time to settle in, guide him safely through new situations, and not give up when things don't work out immediately. Bartul deserves this chance so much. After all the time he spent alone in his kennel, he should finally experience what it feels like to be more than just a resident, but truly belong. 🏡❤️ Who will give Bartul this chance and show him that his real life is just beginning?

Bartul ist ein wunderschöner Deutscher-Schäferhund-Mix, dessen bisheriges Leben leider alles andere als schön war. Er saß im öffentlichen Tierheim alleine in einer Box und kam mit dieser Situation überhaupt nicht zurecht. Der Lärm, die Unruhe und die Isolation machten ihm immer mehr zu schaffen – Bartul verkümmerte dort regelrecht seelisch. 💔 Eine Pflegerin sah, wie sehr er litt, und bat unsere Tierschützerin um Hilfe. So durften Bartul und Maki in unsere Zwinger umziehen. Dort ist es deutlich ruhiger, sie bekommen mehr Betreuung und endlich wieder menschliche Nähe. Bartul brauchte zunächst etwas Zeit, um sich auch körperlich von dieser schweren Zeit zu erholen. Inzwischen geht es ihm zum Glück richtig gut. ❤️ Und jetzt zeigt sich immer mehr, was für ein toller Kerl in ihm steckt: verspielt, verschmust, menschenbezogen und lernwillig. Er läuft bereits schön an der Leine und fährt gerne im Auto mit. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist Bartul gut verträglich – sowohl mit Hündinnen als auch mit Rüden. Typisch Schäferhund ist Bartul intelligent, aufmerksam und möchte mit seinen Menschen zusammenarbeiten. Er braucht Bewegung und Beschäftigung für den Kopf, vor allem aber Menschen, an denen er sich orientieren kann und die ihm mit Ruhe, Klarheit und liebevoller Konsequenz Sicherheit geben. Deshalb suchen wir für Bartul ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die wissen, was es bedeutet, einen Schäferhund zu halten, und bereit sind, ihm wirklich eine Chance zu schenken. Denn wir möchten auch ehrlich sein: Gerade sensible Schäferhunde können nach einem solchen Leben und dem Wechsel in eine völlig neue Umgebung anfangs gestresst oder verunsichert sein. Niemand kann versprechen, dass vom ersten Tag an alles perfekt funktioniert. Bartul braucht Menschen, die ihm Zeit zum Ankommen geben, ihn sicher durch neue Situationen führen und nicht gleich aufgeben, wenn etwas nicht sofort klappt. Bartul hat seine Chance so sehr verdient. Nach all der Zeit alleine in seiner Box soll er endlich erfahren dürfen, wie es sich anfühlt, nicht nur irgendwo untergebracht zu sein, sondern wirklich dazuzugehören. 🏡❤️ Wer schenkt Bartul diese Chance und zeigt ihm, dass sein eigentliches Leben jetzt erst beginnt?

About Bartul

What life with Bartul looks like

Bartul is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

An young 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 Bartul, answered.

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