Batzi

Border Collie · Unknown

Batzi is unfortunately blind, but he can compensate for this well, and if the person adjusts to establishing acoustic signals, it isn't a problem at all. He reacts, as is understandable, sometimes fearfully or cautiously, and so far, he hasn't become very accustomed to the proximity of people. But we are working on that! We are surprised by how well he orients himself while on a leash and has almost no problems. Many rituals should be established in the new home, and it would be good if there were few or, at least, secure stairs, and a garden would certainly be very nice for him. Border Collie is generally compatible (mostly) no children, few or secure stairs, a garden, and a quiet environment (no city). This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Batzi ist leider blind, aber er kann das gut kompensieren und wenn sich der Mensch darauf einstellt, akustische Signale zu etablieren, ist das überhaupt kein Problem. Er reagiert, was verständlich ist, mal ängstlich bzw. vorsichtig und ist bis dato noch nicht so an die Nähe des Menschen gewöhnt. Aber daran arbeiten wir! Erstaunt sind wir, wie gut er sich beim Gassigehen am Halter orientiert und hier fast keine Probleme hat. Im neuen Zuhause sollten viele Rituale etabliert werden und es wäre gut, wenn es wenige oder zumindest gesicherte Treppen gäbe, und ein Garten wäre sicherlich sehr schön für ihn. Border Collie verträglich (meist) keine Kinder, wenig Treppen, Garten und verkehrsberuhigtes Umfeld (keine Stadt)

About Batzi

What life with Batzi looks like

Batzi is a adult border collie dog waiting at Tierheim Feucht in Feucht.

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 Batzi, answered.

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