Bowie – vermittelt

Mixed Breed · Male

Bowie is a wonderful, three-and-a-half-year-old Malinois mix who has been waiting almost three years for someone to see him... Bowie was taken into the care of the small animal shelter "El Buen Amigo" by the friendly male dog when he was still a playful puppy. The lost-looking teenager wandered through the fields alone and was very happy that someone offered him a roof over his head and regular meals. Because Bowie was always overlooked at the animal shelter despite his charming nature and curious personality, he received the chance last year to move into a foster home. However, it became clear quite quickly that the inexperienced German Shepherd has a great fear of cars – and his temporary home was unfortunately not equipped to patiently work with Bowie on his fears. So, unfortunately, it had to go back to the animal shelter... Bowie is extremely eager to learn and willingly shares his trust with his two-legged friends, but he must be gently and understandingly introduced to the world that is unfamiliar to him. Our handsome model athlete needs people who are willing to pick him up where he is in his life, which has almost exclusively consisted of concrete and bars, and gently guide him into his new life as a family dog. Bowie is afraid of cars, which is a fact, but it is also a fact that he excels in other disciplines. Our charmer can handle both large and small animals, and this applies to both two- and four-legged beings. He loves it when the volunteers take him on the rare walks and shows off his best side on the leash. Bowie is Typical of the breed highly intelligent, sporty, a true wonder child, and has a lot of energy. We are therefore looking for people like this fantastic dog. If you have already fallen in love with our gentleman, who is patient and loving, sportively active, and preferably not a big car enthusiast yourself (but feel capable of explaining to our little scaredy-cat that cars are not always to be avoided), if you like to cuddle (because that also counts as one of Bowie's preferred leisure activities), and if you understand a lot about how to bribe with delicious cookies, we would be delighted to hear from you about Bowie!

DE·Show original

Bowie ist ein wundervoller, erst dreieinhalb Jahre alter Malinois-Mix, der schon seit fast drei Jahren darauf wartet, dass jemand ihn sieht … Bowie wurde von den Tierschützern des kleinen Tierheims „El Buen Amigo“ in Obhut genommen, als der freundliche Rüde noch ein verspieltes Hundekind war. Der verloren wirkende Teenager irrte damals allein durch die Felder und war sehr froh, dass jemand ihm ein Dach über dem Kopf und regelmäßige Mahlzeiten anbot. Weil Bowie im Tierheim trotz seiner liebenswerten Art und seinem neugierigen Wesen immer und immer wieder übersehen wurde, erhielt er letztes Jahr die Chance, in eine Pflegestelle zu ziehen. Dort zeigte sich allerdings recht schnell, dass der unerfahrene Schäferhund große Angst vor Autos hat – und sein vorübergehendes Zuhause war leider nicht darauf eingerichtet, geduldig mit Bowie an seinen Ängsten zu arbeiten. So ging es leider zurück ins Tierheim … Bowie ist überaus lernwillig und schenkt seinen zweibeinigen Freunden gern sein Vertrauen, aber er muss geduldig und verständnisvoll an die für ihn unbekannte Welt herangeführt werden. Dafür braucht unser hübscher Modellathlet Menschen, die bereit sind, ihn da abzuholen, wo er in seinem Leben, das fast ausschließlich aus Beton und Gittern bestand, steht, und ihn behutsam in sein neues Dasein als Familienhund zu begleiten. Bowie hat Angst vor Autos, das ist eine Tatsache, aber es ist auch eine Tatsache, dass er in anderen Disziplinen außerordentlich glänzt. Unser Charmeur kann im Tierheim mit Groß und Klein, mit Männlein wie Weiblein, und das bezieht sich auf Zwei- und Vierbeiner. Er liebt es, wenn die Freiwilligen ihn mit auf die seltenen Spaziergänge nehmen, und zeigt sich an der Leine mit Stolz von seiner besten Seite. Bowie ist rassetypisch hochintelligent, sportlich ein echtes Wunderkind und hat viel Energie. Wir suchen also für diesen fantastischen Hund ebensolche Menschen. Wenn Sie sich schon in unseren Gentleman verliebt haben, geduldig und liebevoll, sportlich aktiv und am besten selbst kein allzu großer Autonarr sind (aber sich durchaus in der Lage fühlen, unserem Angsthäschen zu erklären, dass man den Blechbüchsen nicht immer aus dem Weg gehen kann), wenn Sie gern kuscheln (denn auch das gehört zu Bowies bevorzugten Freizeitaktivitäten) und viel davon verstehen, wie man leckere Kekse anreicht, dann würden wir uns mit Bowie freuen, schon bald von Ihnen zu hören!

About Bowie – vermittelt

What life with Bowie – vermittelt looks like

Bowie – vermittelt is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 – vermittelt, answered.

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