Adopt Decko

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Decko – searching for his place in life → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 11/2024 → Size / Weight: 54 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Decko is a young male dog now looking for his own home – with people who can give him time to settle in quietly. His life so far has been very simple. He lived in the courtyard of an elderly lady who took care of him as best she could. She provided for him and made sure he was well. However, due to age and illness, she eventually could no longer take care of her animals, which led to Decko being placed in one of our shelters. Decko has not yet experienced life in a family. Things like a house, stairs, car rides, or the normal everyday life with humans can therefore be new to him. That's why we are looking for people who understand that he needs to learn and get used to many things step by step. Decko is a friendly, sociable dog who knows people and is accustomed to interacting with them. With patience, calmness, and loving guidance, he will surely adapt well to a new life. We wish for him reliable people who can provide him with security and show him how wonderful having his own home can be.

Decko – auf der Suche nach seinem Platz im Leben → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 11/2024 → Grösse / Gewicht: 54 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Decko ist ein junger Rüde, der nun auf der Suche nach seinem eigenen Zuhause ist – bei Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen. Sein bisheriges Leben war sehr einfach. Er lebte bei einer älteren Dame im Hof, die sich so gut es ging um ihn gekümmert hat. Sie hat ihn versorgt und darauf geachtet, dass es ihm gut geht. Alters- und krankheitsbedingt konnte sie sich jedoch irgendwann nicht mehr um ihre Tiere kümmern, sodass Decko nun in einer unserer Pensionen untergebracht ist. Das Leben in einer Familie kennt Decko bisher noch nicht. Dinge wie ein Haus, Treppen, Autofahren oder der ganz normale Alltag mit Menschen können für ihn also neu sein. Deshalb suchen wir für ihn Menschen, die Verständnis dafür haben, dass er vieles erst Schritt für Schritt kennenlernen und lernen darf. Decko ist ein verträglicher, freundlicher Hund, der Menschen kennt und den Kontakt zu ihnen gewohnt ist. Mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Begleitung wird er sich sicher gut in ein neues Leben einfinden.Wir wünschen uns für ihn verlässliche Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Menschen, die ihm die Zeit lassen, die er braucht – und die sich darüber freuen

About Decko

What life with Decko looks like

Decko is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Decko, answered.

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