Seniorenhund

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Name: TeleAlter: 17 Jahre. Rasse: Malteser-Mix. Geschlecht: männlich. Kastriert: neinIm Tierheim seit: 21.05.2026 Der 17-jährige Hunde-Opi Tele sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Leider musste der kleine Malteser-Mix-Rüde aus privaten Gründen im Tierheim abgegeben werden. Nun wünschen wir uns, dass er nicht seine letzten Jahre hier verbringen muss, sondern noch einmal die Geborgenheit eines eigenen Zuhauses erleben darf. Tele ist seinem Alter entsprechend ein ruhiger und entspannter Mitbewohner. Viel braucht er nicht mehr, um glücklich zu sein – kleine Gassirunden, ein gemütliches Plätzchen und die Nähe seinen Menschen reichen ihm vollkommen aus. Er ist kein großer Schmuser und mag es besonders nicht, im Gesicht angefasst zu werden. In solchen Situationen kann er auch mal versuchen zu schnappen. Seine Signale sind jedoch gut zu erkennen und lassen sich leicht respektieren. Für Tele suchen wir Menschen mit Herz, die ihm noch eine schöne und ruhige Zeit schenken möchten. Mit Katzen und Kindern hat er kein Problem. Er ist geimpft und gechipt. Solltet ihr Fragen oder Interesse an Tele haben meldet euch gerne von Mo-Fr 8-17 Uhr unter um einen Kennenlerntermin zu vereinbaren.

About Seniorenhund

What life with Seniorenhund looks like

Seniorenhund is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hersbrucker Tierheim.

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 Seniorenhund, answered.

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