Castells

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Castells was left tied up at the entrance of our shelter in September 2023 as a young puppy. Nothing is known about his past or previous owners. By now, Castells has grown into a young dog and shows a relaxed demeanor in the dog group. Despite his size, he spends a lot of time lying contentedly in the sun. Occasionally, he plays with the other dogs, but as soon as he gets enough of it, he retreats. When he knows people, he is friendly and enjoys being petted. However, with strangers, he is suspicious and can growl if they come too close. He is particularly more trusting of women. Once he has won someone as a friend, however, he remains loyal and does not forget his trusted people. Castells loves being petted and spending time with familiar people. However, during walks, he still shows insecurity, especially when there are vehicles nearby. This behavior suggests that he does not cope well with urban surroundings and heavy traffic. For Castells, an ideal home would be in a rural or quiet environment. He would fit well with an individual or a couple who are active outdoors and can offer plenty of cuddles. Other dogs that are not overly intrusive would be good company for him – whether in the same household or as walking buddies.

Castells wurde Im September 2023 als junger Hund am Eingang des Tierheims angebunden zurückgelassen. Über seine Vergangenheit und seine früheren Besitzer ist nichts bekannt. Inzwischen ist Castells zu einem Junghund herangewachsen und zeigt sich entspannt in der Hundegruppe. Trotz seiner Größe verbringt er viel Zeit damit, gemütlich in der Sonne zu liegen. Ab und zu spielt er mit den anderen Hunden, doch sobald es ihm genug wird, zieht er sich wieder zurück. Menschen, die er kennt, begegnet er freundlich und genießt es, gestreichelt zu werden. Bei Fremden ist er jedoch misstrauisch und kann knurren, wenn sie ihm zu nahe kommen. Besonders bei Frauen fasst er etwas schneller Vertrauen. Hat man ihn jedoch einmal als Freund gewonnen, bleibt er loyal und vergisst seine Bezugspersonen nicht. Castells liebt es, gestreichelt zu werden und Zeit mit vertrauten Menschen zu verbringen. Beim Spazierengehen zeigt er sich jedoch noch unsicher, insbesondere wenn Fahrzeuge in seiner Nähe sind. Dieses Verhalten deutet darauf hin, dass er mit städtischer Umgebung und starkem Verkehr nicht gut zurechtkommt. Für Castells wäre ein Zuhause in einer ländlichen oder ruhigen Umgebung ideal. Er würde sich gut bei Einzelpersonen oder einem Paar einleben, die gerne draußen aktiv sind, aber ihm auch viele Kuscheleinheiten bieten. Andere Hunde, die nicht zu aufdringlich sind, wären für ihn eine gute Gesellschaft – sei es im selben Haushalt oder als Gassifreunde. Update Castells Oktober 2024 Castells 5 Monate alt

About Castells

What life with Castells looks like

Castells is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Pur e.V. in Kettershausen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Castells, answered.

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