Big Bear

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Einer unserer unkompliziertesten Hunde ist noch auf der Suche nach einer netten Familie. Es handelt sich dabei um Big Bear, einen zugewandten und lieben Rüden, der leicht zufriedenzustellen ist. Big Bear freut sich über die einfachen Dinge im Leben: gutes Futter, einen gemütlichen Schlafplatz und etwas Zuneigung seiner Menschen. Ein Garten wäre sicherlich auch von Vorteil. Wir gehen außerdem davon aus, dass er zuvor bereits trainiert wurde, da er bereits stubenrein ist, souverän an der Leine läuft und gut hört. Dennoch wird auch Big Bear wie alle anderen Tierschutz-Hunde seine Zeit brauchen, um in einer neuen Umgebung anzukommen. Das gilt es mit konsequentem und liebevollem Training zu unterstützen. Da Big Bear bereits viel erlebt hat, wünschen wir uns von Herzen, dass er noch vor Einbruch des Winters eine liebe Familie findet, bei der er sein restliches Leben genießen kann. Wenn Sie Interesse an Big Bear haben, melden Sie sich gerne bei uns. Bei positiver Vorkontrolle darf er schon bald geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht, kastriert und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 250 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Big Bear

What life with Big Bear looks like

Big Bear is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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. 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 Big Bear, answered.

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