Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hallo, ich bin Buddy – und ich suche Menschen, die mir zeigen, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Geboren wurde ich ungefähr 2017 oder 2018 – und fast mein ganzes Leben habe ich im rumänischen Tierheim verbracht. Das heißt: Viel mehr als den tristen Alltag hier kenne ich leider nicht. Keine Spaziergänge, keine weichen Körbchen, kein eigenes Zuhause. Ich bin ein eher leiser Typ. Zurückhaltend, vorsichtig und schüchtern. Ich dränge mich nicht in den Vordergrund – vielleicht bin ich genau deshalb all die Jahre übersehen worden. Aber ich bin da. Und ich wünsche mir so sehr, dass jemand mich sieht. Ich habe keine Erfahrung mit dem Leben in einem Haushalt. Geräusche, Alltagsreize, neue Situationen – all das wird für mich neu und ungewohnt sein. Aber ich gebe mir Mühe. Ich bin kein Hund, der jemals aggressiv reagiert – ich ziehe mich lieber zurück, wenn mir etwas zu viel wird. Was ich suche, ist ein ruhiges Zuhause. Ohne Kinder, ohne Trubel, am liebsten auch ohne andere Tiere – ein souveräner, freundlicher Ersthund darf aber gern da sein, denn an ihm könnte ich mich orientieren. Geduldige Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, idealerweise mit Erfahrung im Umgang mit ängstlichen Hunden, wären mein größtes Glück. Ich brauche Zeit, Verständnis – und jemanden, der mich in kleinen Schritten an die Pfote nimmt. Ich weiß, ich bin kein einfacher Fall. Aber vielleicht genau der richtige Hund für jemanden, der nicht den perfekten, fertigen Hund sucht – sondern einen, der noch lernen darf, wie sich Vertrauen anfühlt. Dein Buddy Gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cats & Dogs in Not in Furth.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Buddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Buddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cats & Dogs in Not 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 — Cats & Dogs in Not 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 Cats & Dogs in Not 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.
