How do I contact the shelter about Besonderer Marc Spitz?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Besonderer Marc Spitz on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Besonderer Marc Spitz if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Besonderer Marc Spitz 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 Besonderer Marc Spitz 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 Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Besonderer Marc Spitz and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Besonderer Marc Spitz

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Marc Spitz is a special young male mixed breed dog born around December 2019, approximately 50cm tall and weighing about 23kg. He has been neutered and vaccinated, with a microchip for identification. Marc is compatible with both male and female dogs but may be aggressive towards other dogs due to his testing of boundaries. He was rescued from a freezing river in Bosnia by a pension owner in the spring of 2020 as a small puppy. It's unknown what he endured, so we are looking for a very special home with people who can handle anxious and uncertain dogs. Marc should always be on a safety harness and allowed to run freely only within a securely fenced area. A confident first-time dog owner would greatly benefit him. His foster father has successfully conditioned him to respond to treats, but we hope experienced individuals can help him overcome his fears further. Unfortunately, Marc is not suitable for uncertain people, families with children, or those new to owning dogs. Note: This animal is still abroad and is looking for a foster home.

Besonderer Marc Spitz → Rasse: Mischling→ Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren am: ca. 12/2019 → Grösse: ca. 50cm, ca. 23kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: jaBeschreibung: Marc Spitz trägt seinen Namen, weil er ein ganz besonderer junger Rüde ist. Er hat einen speziellen Charakter. Menschen gegenüber ist er misstrauisch und anfangs scheu, kennt er seine Bezugspersonen, vertraut er ihnen und schenkt ihnen sein Herz. Dennoch ist er frech und manchmal aufmüpfig. Vor allem seinen Artgenossen gegenüber kann er frech sein und seine Grenzen testen. Am Frühjahr 2020 wurde er von dem Pensionsbesitzer in Bosnien in einem reisenden eiskalten Fluss entdeckt und gerettet. Er war noch ein kleiner Welpe. Nur Gott weiß was ihm angetan wurde. Wir suchen für Marc Spitz also auch ein sehr besonderes Zuhause, bei Menschen, die mit ängstlichen und unsicheren Hunden umgehen können. Er sollte immer mit Sicherheitsgeschirr geführt werden und nur in einem sicher eingezäunten Areal Freilauf erhalten. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre eine große Unterstützung für ihn. Sein Pflegepapa hat ihn bisher gut auf Leckerchen konditionieren können. Jetzt hoffen wir, dass ihm erfahrene Menschen noch weiter über seine Ängste hinweghelfen können. Für unsichere Menschen, Familien mit Kindern und Hundeanfänger ist Marc Spitz leider nicht geeignet. Hinweis:Dieses Tier befindet sich noch im Ausland und sucht einen Pflege- oder

What life with Besonderer Marc Spitz looks like

Besonderer Marc Spitz is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.
