How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

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

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 5 years

Bobby came to our animal shelter through official channels. Unfortunately, Bobby's health was not good for a long time, as he had an open wound on his leg for nearly a year, resulting from a poorly performed cruciate ligament operation in combination with a nearly multi-resistant germ, and was eventually brought to us to be "put right." Bobby underwent another operation, received various medications, and thankfully, we seem to be on a good path now. Throughout all the treatments, Bobby was always so brave and patient. Additionally, Bobby comes with the "classic construction site" of a Bulldog. For this, Bobby will soon receive a suitable op to provide more breathing room and related quality of life. Toward unfamiliar people, Bobby is initially a bit skeptical but warms up quickly with proper handling. Bobby is not looking for an overly active home but rather one that is cozy, with small walks and some mental stimulation on the daily agenda. Due to his insecurity, Bobby will not be rehomed to a home with children. Whether Bobby can join an existing dog is an individual case decision.

DE·Show original

Bobby kam über Amtswege in unser Tierheim. Leider ging es Bobby gesundheitlich lange Zeit nicht gut, denn er lief über ein Jahr lang mit einer offenen Wunde am Bein, resultierend aus einer schlecht gemachten Kreuzband OP in Kombination mit einem fast multiresistenten Keim, rum und wurde letztlich bei uns ein wenig "auf Vordermann" gebracht. Bobby wurde erneut operiert, bekam verschiedene Medikamente und glücklicherweise scheinen wir nun endlich auf einem guten Weg zu sein. Bei all den Behandlungen war Bobby stets so brav und geduldig. Leider bringt Bobby zusätzlich die "klassischen Baustellen" einer Bulldogge mit. Hierfür bekommt Bobby demnächst noch eine passende Op, um ihm mehr Atemfreiheit und damit verbundene Lebensqualität zu ermöglichen. Fremden Menschen gegenüber ist Bobby zu Beginn etwas skeptisch, doch taut bei richtigem Handling schnell auf. Bobby sucht kein übermäßig aktives Zuhause sondern eher eins in dem gemütliche, kleine Spaziergänge und etwas Beschäftigung auf der Tagesordnung stehen. Aufgrund seiner Unsicherheit wird Bobby in kein Zuhause mit Kindern vermittelt. Ob Bobby zu einem vorhandenen Hund ziehen kann, ist eine Einzelfallentscheidung.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a large adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim Neuwied in Neuwied.

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.
