How do I contact the shelter about Bob?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bob on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bob if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Bob 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 Bob 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bob 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.

Bob

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

♂, born ca. 2022 - affable - social in Spain Bob is a ca. 2022 born Boxer-mixed-breed male dog with a shoulder height of ca. 55 cm. Bob came to the local animal shelter in August 2023 completely emaciated, underweight, and plagued by many parasites. He was most likely abandoned and left to fend for himself. Since then, he has been eagerly waiting at the animal shelter for a loving and adequate home and a cozy warm dog bed, to live happily in security and well-being. The affable male dog now seeks engaged people who have plenty of time for him, challenge and nurture him, teach him the dog ABC with patience and calm, ideally with regular visits to dog training classes, and integrate him into their daily lives, where Bob finally experiences the affection, love, and care he has not had before. Bob is compatible with fellow animals of both sexes. He would like and be able to be rehomed with further sociable fellow animals, preferably of similar age and size. For Bob, a loving home with active people is sought who have plenty of time for him, as well as a desire and joy in shared activities with him and explore the world together, because he has probably not experienced much so far and is also not a couch potato. A quiet rural home and environment would be desirable and ideal for him. Cats and/or small animals should not be present in his future home. Bob will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped for rehoming. The blood test for Mediterranean diseases showed a positive result for leishmaniasis. Treatment has begun. Bob seeks a quiet home in particular, where his immune system can stabilize and he can enjoy a carefree, beautiful dog life that he has not experienced before. He is currently in an animal shelter in Central Spain. The adoption fee for Bob is 460 Euro. Do you want to give Bob a home?

♂, geb. ca. 2022 liebenswert - aktiv - sozial in Spanien Bob ist ein ca. 2022 geborener Boxer-Mischlingsrüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 55 cm. Bob kam im August 2023 völlig verwahrlost, abgemagert, sowie von vielen Parasiten geplagt, ins örtliche Tierheim. Er wurde höchstwahrscheinlich ausgesetzt und sich selbst überlassen. Seither wartet er im Tierheim sehnlichst auf ein liebevolles adäquates Zuhause und ein gemütliches warmes Hundebettchen, um in Geborgenheit und Wohlbefinden, glücklich leben zu können. Der liebenswerte Rüde, sucht nun zu seinem endgültigen Glück, engagierte Menschen, die viel Zeit für ihn haben, ihn fordern und fördern, ihm das Hundeeinmaleins mit Ruhe und Geduld beibringen, bestenfalls verbunden mit regelmäßigen Besuchen in der Hundeschule und ihn aktiv in ihren Alltag integrieren, bei denen Bob endlich die Zuneigung, Liebe und Fürsorge erfährt, die er bisher nicht hatte. Mit Artgenossen beiderlei Geschlechts ist Bob bestens kompatibel. Er könnte gern und gut, zu weiteren sozialverträglichen souveränen Artgenossen, bestenfalls in ähnlichem Alter und ähnlicher Größe, vermittelt werden. Für Bob wird ein liebevolles Zuhause bei aktiven Menschen gesucht, die viel Zeit für ihn besitzen, sowie Lust und Freude an gemeinsamen Aktivitäten mit ihm haben und zusammen mit ihm die Welt entdecken, denn er hat vermutlich bisher noch nicht viel kennengelernt und ist auch kein Couchpotato. Ein ruhiges ländliches Zuhause und Umfeld, wäre für ihn wünschenswert und ideal. Katzen und/oder Kleintiere sollten in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause nicht vorhanden sein. Bob wird kastriert, geimpft und gechipt vermittelt. Die Blutuntersuchung auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten ergab einen positiven Befund auf Leishmaniose. Die Behandlung wurde begonnen. Bob sucht besonders dringend ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sich sein Immunsystem stabilisieren und er ein unbeschwertes, schönes Hundeleben genießen kann, dass er bisher noch nicht erleben durfte. Er befindet sich in einem Tierheim in Zentralspanien. Die Schutzgebühr für Bob beträgt 580 Euro. Sie möchten Bob ein Zuhause geben?

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
