Adopt Bob

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Bob Breed: Shepherd Color: black-brown Gender: male Date of Birth: 25.07.2019 neutered: yes We took over Bob from another animal shelter. He is quite a behaviorally unique dog with some issues. For one, he enjoys chasing things, including cars, bicycles, and the like. He also has significant difficulties with strangers. With people he knows, he is clingy and even affectionate. Due to the potential danger to strangers, he is only walked with a muzzle. His new humans should definitely plan a lot of time for the getting-to-know-you phase and should already be very experienced in dealing with difficult dogs. If you have any further questions about Bob, please feel free to contact us, we are happy to answer them.

Er ist ein recht verhaltensorigineller Hund mit einigen Baustellen.Zum einen hat er Spaß daran Dinge zu jagen, unter anderem Autos, Fahrräder und Ähnliches.Auch hat er massive Schwierigkeiten mit fremden Personen.Bei Menschen die er kennt ist er anhänglich und sogar kuschelig.Aufgrund der möglichen Gefahr für Fremde wird er nur mit Maulkorb geführt.Seine neuen Menschen sollten definitiv viel Zeit für die Kennenlernphase einplanen und schon sehr erfahren im Umgang mit schwierigen Hunden sein.Wenn Sie weiter Fragen zu Bob haben, nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt mit uns auf, wir beantworten diese gern.

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bob, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bob?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss 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 — Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss 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 Tierschutzverein für den Rhein-Kreis Neuss 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.
