Bobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

lieb, noch zurückhaltend, verspielt, verträglich Der süße Hundejunge Bobby kam zusammen mit einer ganzen Schar an Hundekindern bei uns an. Perfekt, für den zurückhaltenden Bobby um sich erst einmal in die zweite Reihe zu stellen und in Ruhe zu schauen, was denn hier so passiert. Alles hier ist natürlich noch neu für ihn und in seinem bisherigen (kurzen) Leben hat er auch noch nicht allzu viel kennengelernt. Aber es scheint ihm hier ganz gut zu gefallen. Durch die Gegend zu toben, im Sand zu wälzen und einfach eine gute Zeit mit den Hundekumpels zu haben. Das Essen kommt regelmäßig und der Reinigungsservice funktioniert auch - so lässt es sich leben ;- ) Aber das soll natürlich nicht mehr lange Bobbys ganze Welt sein, er hat nämlich noch keine Ahnung, wie große seine Welt wirklich geworden ist, als er er die Chance hatte zu uns zu reisen. Schon bald wird er die ersten Schritte an Leine und Geschirr machen und feststellen, dass unzählige Abenteuer und Erlebnisse auf ihn warten - das alles kann nur getoppt werden, indem er obendrein noch seine Menschen findet und an ihrer Seite das große Hundeeinmaleins kennenlernt. Bobby beherrscht die Hundekommunikation perfekt, ist gut sozialisiert und ein netter Kerl. Wir Menschen sind ihm noch etwas unheimlich, aber auch das wird jeden Tag besser. Wir wünschen uns für den hübschen Kerl Menschen, die ihn gleichermaßen fördern und fordern und genug Zeit für einen Junghund haben, der ihr ganzes Leben auf den Kopf stellen wird. Ein vorhandener Ersthund könnte ihm eine große Unterstützung sein, Kinder wären ihm noch zuviel. Katzen hat er in seinem Leben bisher noch nicht kennengelernt.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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.
