Adopt Captain Hook

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Status: open Name: Captain Hook Breed: Mix Gender: male, neutered Age: estimated by vet at 10 years Shoulder height/Size: 45 cm, 15 kg Color: black with brown Abandonment reason: taken in from a Romanian animal shelter Compatible with: dogs Description: Captain Hook got his name because we thought of a one-eyed pirate when we first saw him. He is missing an eye. How he lost his eye remains his secret. He also spent time in the public animal shelter in Romania and waited there for someone to take him in. Unfortunately, we rarely learn about the past of the animals there. Hook is a totally lovable male dog who gets so excited when you enter the dog room. He bounces around like a puppy and tries to push his way to the front. However, his two housemates are smaller and more agile, so he often comes up short. Hook still has a lot to learn, but since he wants to please, we think he will make quick progress. Hook’s gait is not quite perfect, and we will have him X-rayed soon. Wished home: people with enough time for this loving, old dog. He should simply have a few more beautiful years and be spoiled. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Status: offen Name: Captain Hook Rasse: Mix Geschlecht: männlich, kastriert Alter: vom Tierarzt geschätzt auf 10 Jahre Schulterhöhe/Grösse: 45 cm, 15 kg Farbe: schwarz mit braun Abgabegrund: Übernahme von einem rumänischen Tierheim verträglich mit: Hunden Beschreibung: Captain Hook bekam seinen Namen, da wir an einen Seeräuber mit Augenklappe denken mußten, als wir ihn sahen. Ihm fehlt ein Auge. Wie es zum Verlust des Auges kam, bleibt sein Geheimnis. Auch er saß im öffentlichen Tierheim in Rumänien und wartete auf die Einschläferung. Leider erfahren wir selten etwas über die Vergangenheit der Tiere dort. Hook ist ein total lieber Rüde, der sich wahnsinnig freut, wenn man das Hundezimmer betritt. Er hüpft rum wie ein Junghund und versucht, sich in den Vordergrund zu schieben. Seine beiden WG-Partner sind allerdings kleiner und flinker, so dass er häufiger mal das Nachsehen hat. Hook zeigt sich sehr gelehrig. Er lässt sich schon das Geschirr anziehen und geht raus auf die Wiese. Dort genießt er es, alles in Ruhe zu erschnüffeln, während die anderen Hunde herumtoben. Die Trainerin hat mit ihm ein Target Training begonnen, und es ist so schön zu sehen, dass auch ältere Hunde viel Potenzial haben, neue Dinge zu erlernen. Unser Captain Hook zeigt sich wirklich von der allerbesten Seite. Wir wünschen uns für unseren ‘Seeräuber’ ein ruhiges Zuhause mit eingezäuntem Garten und Menschen, die ihm noch ein paar schöne Jahre bereiten. Es werden mit Sicherheit die schönsten seines Lebens werden. Hooks Gangbild ist nicht ganz rund und wir werden ihn demnächst röntgen lassen. Wunschzuhause: Menschen mit genügend Zeit für diesen lieben, alten Hund. Er soll einfach noch ein paar schöne Jahre haben und verwöhnt werden. Sollte das Ihr Traumhund sein, bitten wir Sie, unsere Selbstauskunft auszufüllen und an die Hundeabteilung zu senden. Vielen Dank! Vermittlungsanfragen ohne Selbstauskunft können aus Kapazitätsgründen nicht bearbeitet werden. Wir bitten um Verständnis. Kontakt:

About Captain Hook

What life with Captain Hook looks like

Captain Hook is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof in Germany.

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 Captain Hook, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Captain Hook?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Captain Hook on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Captain Hook if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof 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 Hook 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 Hook 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 7 Gebirge e.V. — Orscheider Hof early rather than rehoming privately; they know Captain Hook 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.
