Bobby

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 1 year

Bobby ist ein junger Schäferhundrüde mit jeder Menge Energie. Da er in Hamburg gefunden wurde, können wir leider nichts über seine Herkunft oder seine Vergangenheit sagen. Für unseren großen Charmeur wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit Platz und Menschen, die Lust auf einen aktiven Hund haben. Bobby möchte körperlich und geistig beschäftigt werden – eine Hundeschule kann sinnvoll sein.Regelmäßiger Hundekontakt ist für Bobby besonders wichtig. Mit anderen Hunden ist er gut verträglich und wohnt bei uns problemlos in einer gemischten Gruppe mit.Auch wenn Bobby schon groß und schwer ist, steckt im Kopf noch ordentlich Schabernack, deshalb braucht Bobby klare Grenzen und Regeln. Er wird daher auch nicht zu kleinen Kindern vermittelt. Anfangs zeigte Bobby stereotypes Rutejagen. Durch die richtige Beschäftigung und den regelmäßigen Sozialkontakt hat sich dieses Verhalten bei uns deutlich gebessert. Dennoch sollte nicht unterschätzt werden, dass es sich dabei um ein Verhalten handelt, das bei unzureichender Auslastung, fehlendem Sozialkontakt jederzeit wieder auftreten kann. Bobby braucht daher Menschen, die seine Bedürfnisse ernst nehmen und ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig ausreichend beschäftigen. Wenn Sie Bobby kennenlernen möchten, schicken Sie gerne ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten)! 20.08.2026 (hd)

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a extra-large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

An young 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.

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. Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 — Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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 Hamburger Tierschutzverein 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.
