Berlinek

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Name: Berlinek Location: Poland, Psia Ostoja Sex: male, neutered Breed: Mixed breed Age: approx. 2015 Size: approx. 37 cm This cute boy is Berlinek, a little senior with a good amount of extra weight. Still, this sweet fellow is surprisingly quick and agile for both his age and his figure. Losing weight should therefore not be too hard for him if he gets regular exercise and healthy food. Berlinek and Berlinka were kept together for 2 years on an abandoned property. Neighbors fed the two of them over the fence, but of course there was hardly any human affection. Thank God someone finally brought the pair to the shelter, so that they now hopefully get another chance at a good dog's life. Berlinek would certainly be ready for it. He is a cheerful little fellow who loves playing with his ball. Of course, this should not be encouraged too much. It is better to take him on long walks. And perhaps he will then start actively seeking closeness to people, which he doesn't yet do at the moment. But someone who has had to go without it for at least 2 years first has to relearn it. Who will fall in love with this chubby senior and give him a new home? Of course, he would be happy to go together with Berlinka, though this is not a requirement. An existing first dog is also welcome to wait for him; he gets along with both males and females. Of course, Berlinek is vaccinated and microchipped.

Name: Berlinek Aufenthalt: Polen, Psia Ostoja Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Rasse: Mischling Alter: * ca. 2015 Größe: ca. 37 cm Dieser niedliche Hundemann ist Berlinek, ein kleiner Senior mit einer ordentlichen Portion Kummerspeck. Trotzdem ist der liebe Rüde erstaunlich flink und agil sowohl für sein Alter als auch für die Figur. Abnehmen sollte ihm also nicht allzu schwer fallen, wenn er regelmäßig Bewegung und gesundes Futter bekommt. Berlinek wurde zusammen mit Berlinka 2 Jahre auf einem verlassenen Grundstück gehalten. Nachbarn haben die beiden über den Zaun gefüttert, menschliche Zuwendung gab es aber natürlich kaum. Gott sei Dank hat dann doch noch jemand die beiden ins Tierheim gebracht, so dass sie jetzt hoffentlich noch einmal die Chance auf ein schönes Hundeleben bekommen. Berlinek wäre jedenfalls bereit dazu. Er ist ein lebensfroher kleiner Kerl, der es liebt mit seinem Ball zu spielen. Allzu sehr sollte das natürlich nicht gefördert werden. Lieber unternimmt man mit ihm lange Spaziergänge. Und vielleicht fängt er dann auch an die Nähe der Menschen aktiv zu suchen, was er momentan noch nicht so tut. Aber wer mindestens 2 Jahre lang darauf verzichten musste, muss das auch erst wieder lernen. Wer verliebt sich in den pummeligen Senior und schenkt ihm ein neues Zuhause? Gerne natürlich auch mit Berlinka zusammen, Bedingung ist dies aber natürlich nicht. Auch ein bereits vorhandener Ersthund dürfte gerne auf ihn warten, er verträgt sich sowohl mit Rüden als auch mit Hündinnen. Selbstverständlich ist Berlinek geimpft und gechipt.

About Berlinek

What life with Berlinek looks like

Berlinek is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Berlinek, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Berlinek?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Berlinek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Berlinek if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe über Grenzen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Berlinek 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 Berlinek 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 Hundehilfe über Grenzen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Berlinek 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.
