Adopt Dave

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

For our 10-year-old male dog Dave (German Shepherd-Dachshund-Mix, ca. 24 kg, shoulder height ca. 50 cm), we are seeking a quiet, loving, and permanent home. He is a very loyal, sensitive, and people-oriented dog who forms a strong bond with his primary caregiver. At home, he is calm, balanced, and pleasant in everyday life. He loves relaxed walks, nature, sniffing, sunbathing, and simply being close to his people. He can stay alone very well, travels by car without any problems (including long distances), and knows basic commands. He is compatible with cats and has lived with cats almost his entire life. Despite his 10 years, he is still fit, active, and playful. He learns quickly, is intelligent, and is very motivated by food. Outdoors, he can sometimes react insecurely to other dogs or close encounters in certain situations. With calm, clear guidance, he orientates well to people and becomes much more stable. We wish for him quiet, reliable people with some dog experience and ideally a relaxed living situation, preferably in a quieter location or with a garden. – neutered – vaccinated & microchipped – fully documented – can stay alone very well – travels comfortably by car (including long distances) – knows basic commands – compatible with cats – he will of course receive his complete accessories with the handover. As our living situation has changed, we are looking for a suitable home for him as soon as possible – no transition, but a place for always. The handover will be made with If you can imagine giving him a loving home, we would be very happy to receive a short introduction via message. You can contact us by phone or WhatsApp. Location: 89155, Erbach (Baden-Württemberg)

Für unseren 10-jährigen Rüden Dave (Schäferhund-Dachshund-Mix, ca. 24 kg, Schulterhöhe ca.50 cm) suchen wir ein ruhiges, liebevolles und dauerhaftes Zuhause. Er ist ein sehr treuer, sensibler und menschenbezogener Hund, der sich eng an seine Bezugsperson bindet. Zuhause ist er ruhig, ausgeglichen und angenehm im Alltag. Er liebt entspannte Spaziergänge, Natur, Schnüffeln, Sonne und einfach die Nähe seiner Menschen. Er kann sehr gut alleine bleiben, fährt problemlos Auto (auch längere Strecken) und kennt die Grundkommandos. Mit Katzen ist er verträglich und hat fast sein ganzes Leben mit Katzen zusammengelebt. Trotz seiner 10 Jahre ist er noch fit, aktiv und verspielt. Er lernt gerne, ist intelligent und über Futter sehr gut motivierbar. Draußen reagiert er in manchen Situationen noch unsicher auf andere Hunde oder enge Begegnungen. Mit ruhiger, klarer Führung orientiert er sich jedoch gut am Menschen und wird deutlich stabiler. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ruhige, verlässliche Menschen mit etwas Hundeerfahrung und möglichst einer entspannten Wohnsituation, idealerweise eher ruhig gelegen oder mit Garten. – kastriert – geimpft & gechipt – vollständig dokumentiert – kann sehr gut alleine bleiben – fährt entspannt Auto (auch längere Strecken) – kennt Grundkommandos – verträglich mit Katzen – sein komplettem Zubehör bekommt er selbstverständlich mit Da sich unsere Lebenssituation verändert, suchen wir zeitnah ein wirklich passendes Zuhause für ihn – kein Übergang, sondern ein Platz für immer. Die Abgabe erfolgt mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr. Wenn du dir vorstellen kannst, ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause zu geben, freuen wir uns sehr über eine Nachricht mit kurzer Vorstellung. Gerne telefonisch oder auch per WhatsApp Standort: 89155, Erbach ( Baden-Württemberg)

About Dave

What life with Dave looks like

Dave is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu in Kempten.

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 Dave, answered.

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