Bobby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

male dog geb. 21.03.2021 Bobby is a quiet, sensitive Labrador-Mix, around 20 kg – and searching for a safe place. People and other dogs still unsettle him, but with a familiar primary caregiver, he shows himself affectionate, loyal, and very finely tuned. He had no structure in his previous life and must now learn communication – step by step. For this, he needs a calm environment, clear boundaries, and most of all, patience. Bobby is house-trained, can be left alone, walks well on a leash, and knows cats. Children are too unpredictable for him – therefore, he is only suitable for a home without children or with older, calm children. An independent only dog by his side would be possible. Whoever has an eye for subtle signals and is looking for a dog that deeply connects when given the chance – should meet Bobby.

Rüde geb. 21.03.2021 Bobby ist ein stiller, sensibler Labrador-Mix, ca. 20 kg schwer – und auf der Suche nach einem sicheren Ort. Menschen und andere Hunde verunsichern ihn noch, aber mit einer vertrauten Bezugsperson zeigt er sich innig, loyal und sehr feinfühlig. Er hatte in seinem früheren Leben keine Struktur und muss Kommunikation jetzt erst lernen – Schritt für Schritt. Dabei hilft ihm ein ruhiges Umfeld, klare Grenzen und vor allem Geduld. Bobby ist stubenrein, kann allein bleiben, läuft gut an der Leine und kennt Katzen. Kinder sind ihm zu unberechenbar – daher nur in einen Haushalt ohne oder mit älteren, ruhigen Kindern. Ein souveräner Ersthund an seiner Seite wäre möglich. Wer ein Auge für leise Signale hat und einen Hund sucht, der tief verbindet, wenn man ihn lässt – der sollte Bobby kennenlernen.

About Bobby

What life with Bobby looks like

Bobby is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Wolfsranch — Tierheim Wächtler in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Wolfsranch — Tierheim Wächtler 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 — Wolfsranch — Tierheim Wächtler 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 Wolfsranch — Tierheim Wächtler 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.
