Bowie

Mixed Breed · Male

Bowie came to the animal shelter Nirina in Tuzla with his brother. While he was very self-assured from the start, Bowie needed some time to get used to the new environment. The many impressions—sounds, other dogs, and strangers—initially unsettled him. However, he always sought the company of people and could be approached through calm affection. Now, Bowie has visibly developed. He shows a much more relaxed demeanor, runs well on a leash, and gets along well with other dogs. His body language now appears increasingly confident and balanced. Interacting with cats is not a problem for Bowie. Bowie is a friendly and approachable dog who values the contact with people. He enjoys cuddles as much as going for walks together and is beginning to show interest in toys. He accepts food rewards and can easily be integrated into daily life. In new situations or with unfamiliar sounds, Bowie may need some time to feel secure at first. Once he has settled in, however, he shows himself to be a pleasant and affectionate companion. For Bowie, we wish to find a home with people who meet him with patience and calm and give him the necessary time to adjust. With the right support, he will develop into a reliable family dog. Bowie travels neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and with an international pet passport from Bosnia. All our dogs are only available after a positive assessment.

DE·Show original

Bowie kam gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder ins Tierheim Nirina in Tuzla. Während dieser von Anfang an sehr selbstsicher war, benötigte Bowie etwas Zeit, um sich an die neue Umgebung zu gewöhnen. Die vielen Eindrücke – Geräusche, andere Hunde und fremde Menschen ? haben ihn zunächst verunsichert. Dennoch suchte er stets die Nähe zu Menschen und ließ sich durch ruhige Zuwendung gut erreichen. Inzwischen hat Bowie sich sichtbar entwickelt. Er zeigt sich deutlich entspannter, läuft gut an der Leine und kommt mit anderen Hunden gut zurecht. Seine Körpersprache wirkt zunehmend sicher und ausgeglichen. Der Umgang mit Katzen ist für Bowie unproblematisch. Bowie ist ein freundlicher und zugänglicher Hund, der den Kontakt zu Menschen schätzt. Er genießt Streicheleinheiten ebenso wie gemeinsame Spaziergänge und beginnt, sich auch für Spielzeug zu interessieren. Futterbelohnungen nimmt er gerne an und lassen sich gut in den Alltag integrieren. In neuen Situationen oder bei ungewohnten Geräuschen kann Bowie anfangs noch etwas Zeit brauchen, um sich sicher zu fühlen. Hat er sich jedoch eingewöhnt, zeigt er sich als angenehmer und anhänglicher Begleiter. Für Bowie wünschen wir uns ein durchaus aktives Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld und Ruhe begegnen und ihm die nötige Zeit zum Ankommen geben. Mit entsprechender Unterstützung wird er sich zu einem verlässlichen Familienhund entwickeln. Bowie reist kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und mit einem internationalen Heimtierausweis aus Bosnien. Alle unsere Hunde werden nur nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle, mit einem Schutzvertrag gegen eine nicht verhandelbare Schutzgebühr vermittelt.

About Bowie

What life with Bowie looks like

Bowie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben e.V. in Linden.

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 Bowie, answered.

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