Brad

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Our Brad (he should really be named Mr. Spock) is a charming, handsome young fellow who simply must be loved. Unfortunately, the owner lacked the patience for the playful, childlike joy of puppyhood. But now that he’s with us, his big antennas are on "listening attack." The super smart puppy wants to learn – finally get to explore the world and finally show what potential he has. The foster mom is thrilled with the adorable, trustingly-eyed little fellow. A perfect mix of well-behaved, funny, and irresistible. Brad is now looking for a home with active people who understand dogs and will lovingly but consistently lead him into a happy, contented doggy life. A house and yard would be ideal for him. A dog and cat can be present, as he currently lives with these in his foster family.

DE·Show original

Unser Brad (eigentlich müsste er Mr. Spock heißen) ist ein ganz bezaubernder, bildhübscher junger Mann, den man einfach lieben muss. Leider hatte der Besitzer für die kindliche, verspielte Lebensfreude des Welpen zu wenig Geduld. Aber jetzt ist er ja bei uns und seine großen Antennen stehen auf „Lauschangriff“. Der super schlaue Jungspund möchte Gas geben – endlich was lernen, endlich die Welt erobern und endlich zeigen, welches Potential in ihm steckt. Die Pflegemama ist von dem liebenswerten, treu blickenden Kerlchen begeistert. Eine gelungene Mischung aus brav, lustig und unwiderstehlich. Brad sucht nun ein Zuhause bei aktiven Menschen mit etwas Hundeverstand, die ihn liebevoll, aber konsequent in ein glückliches, zufriedenes Hundeleben führen. Haus und Garten wären für ihn ideal. Hund und Katz dürfen anwesend sein, denn bei seiner Pflegefamilie lebt er aktuell mit diesen zusammen.

About Brad

What life with Brad looks like

Brad is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Brad, answered.

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