Captain

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Unser Captain unterwegs - Video Captain & Brie - Video Unser Captain ist ein freundlicher Rüde, der zunächst etwas vorsichtig und zurückhaltend auf fremde Menschen reagieren kann. Gibt man ihm die nötige Zeit und begegnet ihm ruhig und geduldig, taut er jedoch schnell auf. Hat er Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt Captain, wie viel Freude in ihm steckt. Bei seinen Bezugspersonen ist er besonders anhänglich, sucht ihre Nähe und genießt ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten sehr. Vermutlich hat Captain in seinem bisherigen Leben noch nicht allzu viel kennenlernen dürfen. Umso schöner ist es zu beobachten, wie neugierig er seine neue Welt entdeckt und Schritt für Schritt dazulernt. Die ersten Grundkommandos übt er bereits fleißig und macht sich dabei gut. Im Alltag zeigt er sich angenehm entspannt. Spaziergänger, Jogger und Radfahrer bringen ihn nicht aus der Ruhe. Auch entgegenkommende Hunde sind für ihn kein Thema. Gemeinsame Spaziergänge mit anderen Hunden funktionieren ebenfalls gut. Captain hat bereits mit einem anderen Hund zusammengelebt. Ob er auch dauerhaft mit einem Artgenossen zusammenwohnen möchte, sollte im Einzelfall bei einem persönlichen Kennenlernen getestet werden. Auch die Fellpflege klappt gut. Bürsten lässt Captain ohne Schwierigkeiten über sich ergehen. Captain ist ein liebenswerter, sensibler Rüde, der Menschen sucht, die ihm Sicherheit geben und ihm mit Ruhe und Geduld die Zeit lassen, die er braucht. Wer sein Vertrauen gewinnt, darf sich auf einen sehr liebevollen und verschmusten Begleiter freuen, der die gemeinsame Nähe zu seinen Menschen sichtlich genießt. Fotos: Jessica Böcker Fotografie

About Captain

What life with Captain looks like

Captain is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen in Germany.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Captain, answered.

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