How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Delitzsch 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 — Tierheim Delitzsch 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 Tierheim Delitzsch 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.

Bobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Bobby male dog, middle size, Gender: Male, Born: ca 01/2025, Size: middle size, Breed: mixed breed, Children: from 8 years old Bobby Bobby is a young guy who at first looks a bit unsure about the world. Males especially unsettle him, and he meets strangers with skepticism. If he feels overwhelmed by the proximity, he signals this with a growl to create space for himself. Calmness and patience are required. Once the ice is broken, he shows his completely opposite side, the joyful and lively side, sprouting with energy, enjoying walks, closeness, and the beautiful moments of everyday life. For the young man, we are looking for experienced, structured, and sensitive people who are willing to give him the time he needs to build trust. With fellow animals, he only got along with his previous family to a limited extent, which does not mean he completely rejects them. Children should also be at least 8 years old and understand how to handle a sensitive dog. We are convinced that those who are willing to meet/ accompany him with patience will receive a loyal friend by his side.

Bobby Rüde Mittelgroß Geschlecht: Männlich Geboren: ca 01/2025 Größe: Mittelgroß Rasse: Mischling Kinder: ab 8 Jahre Bobby Bobby ist ein junger Kerl, der anfangs etwas unsicher auf die Welt blickt. Besonders Männer verunsichern ihn und fremden Menschen begegnet er mit Skepsis. Überfordert ihn die Nähe, signalisiert er dies mit Knurren, um sich Raum zu schaffen. Ruhe und Geduld ist gefragt. Ist das Eis gebrochen zeigt er sich komplett gegensätzlich, die fröhliche und lebenslustige Seite tritt zutage. Dann sprüht er vor Energie, genießt Spaziergänge, Nähe und die schönen Momente des Alltags. Für den jungen Mann suchen wir erfahrene, strukturtreue, einfühlsame Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm die für ihn nötige Zeit zu geben, Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit Artgenossen vertrug er sich bei seiner vorherigen Familie nur bedingt, was nicht bedeutet, dass er diese komplett ablehnt. Auch Kinder sollten mindestens das 8. Lebensjahr überschritten haben und verstehen, wie der Umgang mit einem sensiblen Hund funktioniert. Wir sind überzeugt, dass diejenigen, welche bereit sind, ihm mit Geduld zu begegnen/ begleiten, einen treuen Freund an ihrer Seite erhalten.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Delitzsch in Delitzsch.

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.
