Bobby

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Bobby is unfortunately looking for a new home. The current owners can no longer keep him and describe him as follows: Bobby was born on November 14, 2023. He is vaccinated and microchipped. We received him as a puppy at 9 weeks old. We took him to dog training classes, where he unfortunately became improperly conditioned. This led to biting incidents during resource defense. Since May 2025, Bobby has been in a dog shelter called Eberlei in Westoverledingen. The people in the dog shelter have no issues with Bobby. They are doing muzzle training, leash manners, and dog interactions with him, which he responds to well and shows to be a good learner. We live in the countryside, so we had few encounters with cyclists or pedestrians on our walks. Interactions with other dogs have been difficult with Bobby. He is unfamiliar with small children and should be kept alone. However, we are confident that Bobby can become a true dog companion for the right people who will train him with patience and love.

Bobby sucht leider ein neues Zuhause. Die jetzigen Besitzer können ihn leider nicht behalten und beschreiben ihn wie folgt: Bobby ist am 14.11.2023 geboren. Er ist geimpft und gechipt. Wir haben ihn als Welpe mit 9 Wochen bekommen. Wir sind mit ihm zur Hundeschule hin gegangen wo er leider falsch konditioniert worden ist. Dadurch ist es bei Ressourcenverteidigung zu Beißvorfällen gekommen. Bobby ist seit Mai 2025 in einer Hundepension. Die Hundepension heißt Eberlei in Westoverledingen. Die Leute in der Hundepension haben mit Bobby keine Schwierigkeiten. Sie machen mit Bobby Maulkorbtraining, Leinenführigkeit und Hundebegegnungen. Das macht Bobby gut mit und zeigt sich gelehrig. Wir wohnen ländlich, dadurch hatten wir beim Spaziergang wenig Begegnungen mit Radfahrern oder Fußgängern. Hundebegegnungen waren mit Bobby schwierig. Er kennt keine kleinen Kinder und sollte alleine gehalten werden. Wir sind aber sicher, dass Bobby bei den richtigen Menschen, die ihn mit Geduld und Liebe trainieren, ein echter Hundekumpel werden kann. Ansprechpartner: Manuela Geiken

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not e.V. in Großefehn.

An young 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 Bobby, answered.

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