How do I contact the shelter about Buddy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutz Hanau 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 — Tierschutz Hanau 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 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 Tierschutz Hanau 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.

Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Breed: Labrador Gender: male - neutered Born: May 10, 2021 Color: blond Size: approx. 50 cm Weight: 30.2 kg In the animal shelter since: September 4, 2024 Update May 2025: Due to previous biting incidents, we cannot responsibly place Buddy again. Buddy would still be happy to have a foster home. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Since being surrendered, due to multiple biting incidents, the 3-year-old male dog has adapted quite well. Yes, you heard that right: Buddy does not feel uncomfortable at all in the animal shelter. Here, he is learning boundaries and clear instructions, which he is beginning to appreciate. He is obedient and eager to learn ;-)) Other dogs do not pose a big problem, but his prey drive is always present, and playing with balls has also been misdirected in the past. We are looking forward to what else will come and are happy to be able to prepare Buddy for a new life!

Rasse: Labrador Geschlecht: männlich - kastriert Geboren: 10.05.2021 Farbe: blond Größe: ca. 50 cm Gewicht: 30,2 kg Im Tierheim seit: 04.09.2024 Update Mai 2025: Aufgrund vorheriger Beißvorfälle können wir es nicht verantworten, Buddy nochmal zu vermitteln. Buddy würde sich trotzdem über Paten freuen. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Seit er abgegeben wurde, aufgrund mehrerer Beißvorfälle, hat sich der 3-jährige Rüde ganz gut eingelebt. Ja, richtig gehört: Buddy fühlt sich gar nicht unwohl im Tierheim. Hier bekommt er nämlich Grenzen und klare Ansagen, die er beginnt, zu mögen. Er ist folgsam und lernbereit ;-)) Andere Hunde stellen kein großes Problem da, dafür ist der Jagdtrieb immer präsent und Ball spielen ist in der Vergangenheit ebenfalls fehlgeleitet worden. Wir sind gespannt, was noch so kommt und freuen uns, Buddy auf ein neues Leben vorbereiten zu dürfen!

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Hanau in Hanau.

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.
