How do I contact the shelter about Bobby?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein OHZ 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 — Tierschutzverein OHZ 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. 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 Tierschutzverein OHZ 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Bobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

We have to part with Bobby due to family and time-related reasons. Bobby was born on May 21, 2021. He is vaccinated and microchipped, but not neutered. He has not had a good start so far. He definitely needs training, time, and love from someone who really knows what they're doing. Inside, he is very relaxed, but outside, he panics around people, especially children. He would likely bite, and currently, he cannot go out without a muzzle. This still requires a lot of time and practice. The best environment for him would be a large yard where he has plenty of space, as he is very playful and full of energy. He is trainable; you just need patience. He gets along with cats and all kinds of dogs. However, he is not comfortable with women, and there should not be any children in the household. A second dog would be great, but it's not a must. Please get in touch if you are interested and have the time to get to know and love him. He will only be given away with a purchase contract and a protection agreement.

Wir müssen uns aus familiären und zeitlichen Gründen von Bobby trennen. Bobby ist am 21.5.2021 geboren. Er ist geimpft und gechipt, nicht kastriert. Er hatte bis jetzt keinen guten Start. Er braucht definitiv Erziehung, Zeit und Liebe. Jemand der sich wirklich auskennt. Drinnen ist er super entspannt, aber draussen hat er Panik vor Menschen und vor allem vor Kindern. Er würde vermutlich auch beissen, ohne Maulkorb kann man aktuell nicht mit ihm raus gehen. Das bedarf noch einiges an Zeit und Übung. Am besten wäre für ihn ein grosser Hof, wo er viel Platz hat, er ist sehr verspielt und hat viel Energie. Er ist lernfähig, man braucht nur Geduld. Er ist verträglich mit Katzen und mit aller Art von Hunden. Mit Frauen hat er es nicht so, und Kinder sollten auch nicht im Haushalt leben. Ein Zweithund wäre super, aber kein Muss. Meldet euch gerne wenn ihr Interesse und Zeit habt ihn kennen und lieben zu lernen. Er wird nur mit Kaufvertrag und Schutzvereinbarung abgegeben.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein OHZ e.V. in Osterholz-Scharmbeck.

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.
