Boomer

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Boomer and his son Oskar had a normal life with their family, but when the family had to move, they couldn't take the two small dogs with them. They were kept in a construction site, alone, without their humans, who only came by once a week to feed them. The local team from Huellas Con Esperanza noticed this and convinced the family to give the dogs to them. The owners agreed, but didn't want direct contact and left the two small dogs in boxes in front of the closed animal shelter when no one was around. One of the boxes opened and Papa Boomer disappeared. Oskar was already adopted and enjoying his new life. The team did everything to find and secure Boomer, set up a feeding station with a live trap and took Oskar with them on the search. At first, Boomer still appeared, as seen through the camera, but then he didn't come to the feeding station anymore and disappeared. Weeks passed and no one knew what had happened to the little fox-red senior. When no one believed anymore, Boomer suddenly appeared again and could be secured, fortunately. Boomer has a low energy level, he longs for peace and security, he shows himself social and friendly with other dogs, but is currently a bit reserved with people. He would possibly benefit from a confident first dog, but this should not pressure him. We are looking for a quiet, caring household for Boomer, where he can live carefree and rest. Boomer doesn't need much space, just loving people and gentle hands. Please note: The feedback from animal shelters/foster homes reflects the current behavior of the dogs here.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Boomer und sein Sohn Oskar hatten ein ganz normales Leben mit ihrer Familie, doch dann musste die Familie umziehen und konnte die beiden kleinen Hunde nicht mitnehmen, so wurden sie einige Zeit in einem Rohbau gehalten, ganz allein, ohne ihre Menschen, die nur wöchentlich vorbei kamen, um sie zu versorgen. Das örtliche Team von Huellas Con Esperanza bekam das mit und konnte die Familie davon überzeugen, ihnen die Hunde zu übereignen. Die Halter stimmten zu, wollten aber anscheinend keinen direkten Kontakt und stellten die beiden kleinen Rüden in Boxen vor dem geschlossenen Tierheim ab, als niemand da war. Eine der Boxen ging wohl auf und Papa Boomer verschwand. Oskar wurde längst vermittelt und genießt seinen neuen Lebensabschnitt.Das Team tat alles, um Boomer zu finden und zu sichern, richtete eine Futterstelle mit Lebendfalle ein und nahm Sohn Oskar mit auf die Suche. Anfangs erschien Boomer noch, wie man durch die Kamera wusste, aber dann kam er nicht mehr zur Futterstelle und verschwand. Es vergingen Wochen und niemand wusste, was mit dem kleinen fuchsroten Senior geschehen war. Als niemand mehr daran glaubte, tauchte Boomer plötzlich wieder auf und konnte zum Glück gesichert werden. Boomer hat ein niedriges Energielevel, er sehnt sich nach Ruhe und Geborgenheit, er zeigt sich mit anderen Hunden sozial und freundlich, gegenüber Menschen ist der Knirps aktuell teilweise ein wenig zurückhaltend. Er würde möglicherweise von einem souveränen Ersthund profitieren, dieser sollte ihn aber nicht bedrängen. Für Boomer suchen wir einen ruhigen, fürsorglichen Haushalt, in dem er sorglos leben und ausruhen darf. Boomer braucht nicht viel Platz, nur liebevolle Menschen und sanft streichelnde Hände.

About Boomer

What life with Boomer looks like

Boomer is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Boomer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Boomer?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boomer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Boomer if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen 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 Boomer 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 Boomer 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boomer 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.
