Bobby September 2026 Update September 2026: 💔 His gaze has changed… he seems sad. The sparkle in his eyes seems to be fading more and more, and his muzzle is visibly turning grayer. In January 2024, the then so cheerful, big Bobby leapt right into the camera shot when our colleague was on site at the canile to take new photos of one of our animals. With his carefree, funny nature and that bold leap, the black male caught everyone's attention. Of course, we took the sweet fellow into our

Bobby September 2026 Update September 2026: 💔 Sein Blick hat sich verändert … er wirkt traurig. Der Glanz in seinen Augen scheint mehr und mehr zu verschwinden und auch seine Schnauze wird sichtlich grauer. Im Januar 2024 sprang der damals so fröhliche, große Bobby mitten in die Kameraaufnahmen, als unsere Kollegin vor Ort im Canile war, um neue Bilder von einem unserer Schützlinge zu machen. Mit seiner unbeschwerten, lustigen Art und diesem beherzten Sprung machte der schwarze Rüde damals auf sich aufmerksam. Wir nahmen den süßen Kerl selbstverständlich in die

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at saving dogs e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. saving dogs 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 — saving dogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 saving dogs 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.
