Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Name: TeleAlter: 17 years. Breed: Maltese mix. Sex: male. Neutered: noIn the shelter since: 21.05.2026 The 17-year-old senior dog Tele is looking for a quiet home where he can spend his golden years. Unfortunately, this little male Maltese mix had to be surrendered to the shelter for private reasons. We now wish that he doesn't have to spend his final years here, but can once again experience the security of a home of his own. Given his age, Tele is a calm and relaxed companion. He doesn't need much anymore to be happy: short walks, a cozy spot, and the closeness of his people are completely enough for him. He isn't a big cuddler and especially doesn't like being touched on the face. In such situations, he may try to snap. His signals are easy to recognize, however, and are easy to respect. For Tele, we are looking for people with heart who want to give him a beautiful and peaceful time. He has no problem with cats or children. He is vaccinated and microchipped. If you have questions or are interested in Tele, please feel free to contact us Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., at [phone number missing] to arrange a meet-and-greet appointment.

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 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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.
