Clifford

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Clifford – a big charmer looking for his people Clifford was simply abandoned together with his siblings in a remote place, without care and exposed to the dangers of the streets of Romania. He is now safe and has grown into a friendly, open young dog. Clifford wins people over above all with his open nature and his great joy in contact. He is very people-oriented, actively seeks closeness, and greets people in a friendly and unbiased way. Due to his age, Clifford still lacks some of the sensitivity needed. He still has to learn to use his body more deliberately, to hold back a little in certain situations, and to show his enthusiasm appropriately. He is also basically friendly and sociable with other dogs. At the same time, he tends to be one of those dogs who would rather be right in the middle of things than just watching. Here too, he still has to learn to hold back in some situations. Clifford is at the very beginning of his life and, of course, still has a lot to learn. Topics such as loose-leash walking, orienting to his human, rest phases, frustration tolerance, and a structured daily routine are just as much a part of this as learning boundaries and rules. With the right people at his side, however, we are sure he will develop into a wonderful companion. For Clifford, we wish for steadfast people who enjoy having a large, young dog and are willing to invest time in his training and development. Clifford has everything he needs to grow into a marvelous companion. Our colleagues and volunteers on site are repeatedly delighted by his friendly nature, his openness, and his special character. After a positive pre-adoption check, Clifford may move into his new home for a protection fee of 495 euros, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and with an EU pet passport.

Clifford – großer Charmeur sucht seine Menschen Clifford wurde gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern einfach ausgesetzt – an einem abgelegenen Ort, ohne Versorgung und dem Risiko der Straßen Rumäniens schutzlos ausgeliefert. Inzwischen ist er in Sicherheit und zu einem freundlichen, aufgeschlossenen Junghund herangewachsen. Clifford begeistert Menschen vor allem durch seine offene Art und seine große Freude am Kontakt. Er ist ausgesprochen menschenbezogen, sucht aktiv die Nähe und begegnet Menschen freundlich und unvoreingenommen. Altersbedingt fehlt Clifford dabei teilweise noch das nötige Feingefühl. Er darf daher noch lernen, seinen Körper bewusster einzusetzen, sich in bestimmten Situationen etwas zurückzunehmen und seine Begeisterung angemessen zu zeigen. Auch mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Clifford grundsätzlich freundlich und sozial. Gleichzeitig gehört er eher zu den Hunden, die gerne mittendrin statt nur dabei sind. Auch hier darf er noch lernen, sich in manchen Situationen zurückzunehmen. Clifford steht noch am Anfang seines Lebens und darf selbstverständlich noch vieles lernen. Themen wie Leinenführigkeit, Orientierung am Menschen, Ruhephasen, Fsrustrationstoleranz und ein strukturierter Alltag gehören ebenso dazu wie das Erlernen von Grenzen und Regeln. Mit den richtigen Menschen an seiner Seite sind wir jedoch sicher, dass er sich zu einem großartigen Begleiter entwickeln wird. Für Clifford wünschen wir uns standfeste Menschen, die Freude an einem großen, jungen Hund haben und bereit sind, Zeit in seine Erziehung und Förderung zu investieren. Clifford bringt alles mit, um sich zu einem wunderbaren Begleiter zu entwickeln. Unsere Kolleg:innen und Freiwilligen vor Ort sind immer wieder begeistert von seinem freundlichen Wesen, seiner Offenheit und seinem besonderen Charakter. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Clifford gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Clifford

What life with Clifford looks like

Clifford is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Clifford, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Clifford?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Clifford on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Clifford if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Clifford 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 Clifford 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 SpecialDogs e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Clifford 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.
