Buddy

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 5 years

Rasse: Border-Collie-Mix, Rüde Schulterhöhe: ca. 55 cm Buddy ist ein verschmuster und liebenswerter Kerl. Er hört aufs Wort, hat viel Energie, läuft sehr gerne und liebt das Wasser. Buddy ist leinenführig, fährt gerne Auto und kann allein bleiben. In einer ländlichen Umgebung wird er sich sehr wohl fühlen, obwohl er auch die Stadt kennt. Kinder sollten sich in einem Alter ab ca. 10 Jahren befinden, Katzen mag Buddy nicht sonderlich leiden, mit Artgenossen hat er grundsätzlich keine Probleme. Er ist gesund und hat keinerlei gesundheitliche Einschränkungen. Wir suchen ein neues Zuhause für Buddy, der schweren Herzens abgegeben werden muss. Buddy hat leider durch unglückliche Umstände die Auflage, draußen nur mit Leine und Maulkorb geführt zu werden. Obwohl es positive Gutachten gibt, die Buddy als liebevollen und ungefährlichen Hund beschreiben, beharrt das zuständige Ordnungsamt auf diesen Vorgaben. Wir sind uns sicher, dass Buddy an einem anderen Wohnort ziemlich zügig bei erneuter Vorstellung bei Ordnungs- oder Veterinäramt von diesen Auflagen befreit werden wird. Wo sind die Menschen die mit diesem cleveren und tollen Kerl arbeiten wollen? display: none !important; .lSSlideOuter .lSPager.lSGallery {

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is an adult border collie dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Porz in Köln.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Buddy, answered.

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