How do I contact the shelter about Bruce B?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bruce B on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bruce B if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundepfoten Steinfurt 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 Bruce B 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 Bruce B 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 Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bruce B 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.

Bruce B

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Bruce - waits at the animal shelter in our area - Bruce – our big teddy bear dog finally seeks his home 🐻❤️Bruce is a mixed-breed male dog born in early 2019. With his approximate 31 kg and 59 cm shoulder height, he is a sturdy dog – but in his heart, he is primarily a gentle, loving teddy bear. Bruce has been waiting at the animal shelter for a long time for people who can see him and give him his own home. He has so much love to give. He is an exceptionally friendly and compatible dog who gets along well with fellow animals. On the leash, he shows himself to be reliable and enjoys going for walks together. Bruce is open, trusting, and very cuddly with people. Cuddles mean a lot to him – he really blossoms when he can feel closeness and simply be there. In February 2024, Bruce tested positive for heartworms. He has already completed his treatment and has done well with it. A new Caniv-4D test will be conducted soon to check his current health status. For Bruce, we wish for a loving home with empathetic, animal-loving people – preferably with a garden where he can arrive, settle down, and finally experience what a real home feels like. Who gives this big heart the chance it so deserves? We are happy to answer your questions.

About Bruce B

What life with Bruce B looks like

Bruce B is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
