Colorado &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male

Our wonderful Colorado is a 8-year-old male dog who is very people-oriented and has been through a lot. He is very trainable and always wants to please his people. Traffic, bicycles, and passersby do not interest him; he is super leash-friendly. He masters all common basic commands and willingly performs them. Since he will do almost anything for a treat, his appetite can also be a great motivator in training. He rides politely in the car and enjoys his walks, where he can sniff extensively. At home, he enjoys being gently stroked, and he is actually absolutely friendly and open to all four-legged friends. Children in his new home should be in their teenage years. Currently, he is getting used to cats, but he would rather not live with small animals. After an adjustment period, he can stay alone without problems. In his foster family, he lives with 5 other dogs in a pack and accepts them. However, since he had to go without a lot in his past, he wishes for his own space where he gets all the attention from his family, who should confidently guide him. Colorado is currently attending dog training classes and it is said that he is developing into a little stud. Where are the people with big hearts and dog experience who want to give Colorado time to settle in and go through life with him? Direct contact with Colorado:

Unser wunderschöner Colorado ist ein verschmuster, menschenbezogener 8-jähriger Rüde. Er ist sehr gelehrig und möchte seinen Menschen immer gefallen. Straßenverkehr, Fahrräder, Passanten interessieren ihn nicht, er ist super leinenführig. Alle gängigen Grundkommandos beherrscht er und führt diese bereitwillig aus. Da er für ein Leckerli (fast) alles tut, kann man seinen Appetit auch gut im Training einsetzen. Er fährt brav im Auto mit und genießt seine Spaziergänge, bei denen er ausgiebig schnüffeln darf. Zu Hause lässt er sich genüsslich kraulen, allen Zweibeinern gegenüber ist er nämlich absolut freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Kinder in seinem neuen Zuhause sollten im Teenie-Alter sein. Aktuell wird er an Katzen gewöhnt, mit Kleintieren möchte er lieber nicht zusammenleben. Nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit kann er ohne Probleme alleine bleiben. Bei seiner Pflegefamilie lebt er derzeit mit 5 weiteren Hunden im Rudel und akzeptiert sie. Nachdem er aber in seiner Vergangenheit viel entbehren musste, wünscht er sich einen Einzelplatz, wo er alle Aufmerksamkeit seiner Familie bekommt, die ihn souverän führen sollte. Colorado besucht zur Zeit die Hundeschule und man sagt, er entwickelt sich dort zum kleinen Streber. Wo sind die Menschen mit großem Herzen und Hundeerfahrung, die Colorado Zeit zum Ankommen geben und mit ihm durchs Leben gehen wollen? Direkter Kontakt zu Colorado:

About Colorado &#8211

What life with Colorado &#8211 looks like

Colorado &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Colorado &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Colorado &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Colorado &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Colorado &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhilfe Franken 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 Colorado &#8211 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 Colorado &#8211 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 Tierhilfe Franken e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Colorado &#8211 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.
