Cole

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Cole – a brave Bracken-Mix looking for his forever home Cole is an approximately 3-year-old male dog, about 50 cm tall and weighs 24 kg. He has already endured a lot: He was rescued by us from a public facility. Thanks to a donation, help could be given to him – his injured leg, which he had not been able to use for a long time, was amputated. Today, Cole manages very well and shows how adaptable and lively dogs can be. Cole loves nose work, is a friendly, seasoned companion, and gets along well with other dogs. Typical of a Bracken-Mix, he brings joy and curiosity. Now, Cole wishes for a home with loving people who accept him as he is and enable him to have a happy dog life.

Cole – tapferer Bracken-Mix auf der Suche nach seinem Für-Immer-Zuhause Cole ist ein etwa 3 Jahre junger Rüde, ca. 50 cm groß und wiegt 24 kg. Er musste schon einiges durchstehen: Aus einer öffentlichen Einrichtung wurde er von uns gerettet. Dank einer Spende konnte ihm geholfen werden – sein verletztes Bein, das er schon lange nicht mehr nutzen konnte, wurde amputiert. Heute kommt Cole damit sehr gut zurecht und zeigt, wie anpassungsfähig und lebensfroh Hunde sein können. Cole liebt Nasenarbeit, ist ein freundlicher, verschmuster Gefährte und verträgt sich gut mit anderen Hunden. Typisch für einen Bracken-Mix bringt er Lebensfreude und Neugier mit. Nun wünscht sich Cole ein Zuhause bei liebevollen Menschen, die ihn so annehmen, wie er ist, und ihm ein glückliches Hundeleben ermöglichen.

About Cole

What life with Cole looks like

Cole is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

An 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 Cole, answered.

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