Adopt Bilbo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Bilbo – in love with life and ready for you → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 06/2025 → Size / Weight: 44 cm / 12 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: n/a → Sponsorship possible: yes Description Bilbo is a young male dog who not only catches the eye with his beautiful, white-beige fur – but especially with his demeanor. Gentle, balanced, people-oriented… and with a little wink in his eye, which reveals: there’s also a portion of cheeky charm in there. He brings the best prerequisites: obedient, eager to learn, and absolutely ready to win your heart. A dog who seeks closeness, is happy to be there, and nothing more wishes for than to walk through life by the side of “his” people. His start was far from perfect – found in the city, at an insecure place, hidden like in a small cave. But Bilbo was lucky, was saved, and now waits in a pension for his happy ending. And now comes the important part: Bilbo is still at the very beginning. Life in the house, daily routines, all those little things a family dog should know – he can learn all of that. And yes, he will do that with enthusiasm! But, of course, at his own pace. With patience, calmness, and loving guidance. Because although he is clever: he is (still) not a little overachiever – rather a motivated apprentice with great potential.

Bilbo – verliebt ins Leben und bereit für dich → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 06/2025 → Grösse / Gewicht: 44 cm / 12 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Bilbo ist ein junger Rüde, der nicht nur mit seinem wunderschönen, weiß-beigen Fell sofort ins Auge fällt – sondern vor allem mit seiner Art. Sanft, ausgeglichen, menschenbezogen… und mit einem kleinen Augenzwinkern im Blick, das verrät: Da steckt auch eine Portion frecher Charme drin. Er bringt beste Voraussetzungen mit: gehorsam, gelehrig und absolut bereit, dein Herz zu erobern. Ein Hund, der Nähe sucht, gern dabei ist und sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht, als an der Seite „seiner“ Menschen durchs Leben zu gehen. Sein Start war alles andere als perfekt – gefunden in der Stadt, an einem unsicheren Ort, versteckt wie in einer kleinen Höhle. Doch Bilbo hatte Glück, wurde gerettet und wartet nun in einer Pension auf sein Happy End. Und jetzt kommt der wichtige Teil: Bilbo steht noch ganz am Anfang. Das Leben im Haus, Alltagsroutinen, all die kleinen Dinge, die ein Familienhund kennen sollte – das darf er alles noch lernen. Und ja, er wird das mit Begeisterung tun! Aber eben in seinem Tempo. Mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Anleitung. Denn so clever er ist: Ein kleiner Überflieger ist er (noch) nicht – eher ein motivierter Azubi mit großem Potenzial. Bilbo möchte rennen, spielen, entdecken –

About Bilbo

What life with Bilbo looks like

Bilbo is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Bilbo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bilbo?
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 Bilbo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bilbo 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 Bilbo 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 Bilbo 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 Bilbo 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.
