Billy (Auf Pflegestelle)

English Setter · Male · Adult · 6 years

Name: Billy (Auf Pflegestelle) ♥ Breed: English Setter Birthdate: 15.08.2020 Billy is a sensitive, lovable male English Setter dog who has won the hearts of his trusted people in the storm. Life in the animal shelter was very stressful for him – too much noise, too much chaos, not enough closeness. That’s why he was able to move to a foster home, and there he has settled in surprisingly quickly. In this quiet and loving environment, his wonderful nature is on full display. Billy bonds strongly with his "own" people. He seeks closeness, enjoys cuddles, and flourishes in familiar surroundings. Strangers, however, initially unsettle him, which is why sensitive and clear guidance is important for him. Given time, however, he shows his friendly and gentle nature. As a typical active setter, Billy needs a lot of movement and varied mental stimulation. He has a strong prey drive but loves to channel his energy into directed activities. He is especially enthusiastic about mantrailing, where he can fully express his talent with great joy and concentration. Visits to the dog field are also among his favorite activities – there he moves freely, plays, and enjoys the contact with fellow animals. For Billy, we are looking for a home with people who respect his sensitive nature, give him security, and share a desire for an active life with him. A structured, loving environment, regular movement, and mental stimulation are important for him. With patience, understanding, and a warm heart, Billy will become a faithful companion who gives back incredibly. Billy can be visited at his foster home in 64823 Groß Umstadt by appointment. As he needs time to warm up, several, regular get-to-know-you meetings should be possible. Patrons:.

Name: Billy (Auf Pflegestelle) ♥ Rasse: English Setter Geburtsdatum: 15.08.2020 Billy ist ein sensibler, liebenswerter English Setter Rüde, der die Herzen seiner Bezugspersonen im Sturm erobert hat. Für ihn war das Leben im Tierheim sehr belastend – zu viel Lärm, zu viel Trubel, zu wenig Nähe. Deshalb durfte er auf eine Pflegestelle ziehen, und dort hat er sich erstaunlich schnell eingelebt. In diesem ruhigen und liebevollen Umfeld zeigt sich, was für ein wunderbarer Hund er ist. Billy bindet sich stark an „seine“ Menschen. Er sucht Nähe, genießt Streicheleinheiten und blüht im vertrauten Umfeld richtig auf. Fremde hingegen verunsichern ihn anfangs, weshalb einfühlsame und klare Führung wichtig für ihn ist. Gibt man ihm Zeit, zeigt er jedoch sein freundliches und weiches Wesen. Als rassetypisch aktiver Setter braucht Billy viel Bewegung und abwechslungsreiche Beschäftigung. Er hat einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb, liebt es aber, seine Energie in gelenkte Aktivitäten zu stecken. Besonders begeistert ist er vom Mantrailing, wo er sein Talent mit großer Freude und Konzentration auslebt. Auch Besuche auf der Hundewiese gehören zu seinen Lieblingsbeschäftigungen – dort bewegt er sich frei, spielt und genießt den Kontakt zu Artgenossen. Für Billy suchen wir ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die seine sensible Art respektieren, ihm Sicherheit geben und Lust auf ein aktives Leben mit ihm haben. Ein strukturiertes, liebevolles Umfeld, regelmäßige Bewegung und geistige Auslastung sind für ihn wichtig. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und Herz wird Billy zu einem treuen Begleiter, der unglaublich viel zurückgibt. Billy kann nach Terminabsprache auf seiner Pflegestelle in 64823 Groß Umstadt besucht werden. Da er einige Zeit braucht um aufzutauen, sollten mehrere, regelmäßige Termine zum Kennenlernen möglich sein. Paten: Karin Pinhammer ♣

About Billy (Auf Pflegestelle)

What life with Billy (Auf Pflegestelle) looks like

Billy (Auf Pflegestelle) is a large adult english setter dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Pfungstadt und Umgebung e.V in Pfungstadt.

An 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 Billy (Auf Pflegestelle), answered.

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