Dembe

Mixed Breed · Male

We have taken in Dembe together with his siblings Maksym, Luwi, Olalla, and Golo. All five were in great need, who among them would we have left behind? So we decided to take in all five in a "package deal." Although the siblings held each other up in the difficult situation, it is now very clear how the need has welded them together, but not every one of them wants to live with every other one. So Dembe now lives happily with his two brothers Golo and Luwi. Dembe gets along well with other dogs at the first meeting, but in cohabitation he is a bit more selective and would certainly also be very happy as a lone prince – or with one of his two brothers Golo or Luwi (or both 😉)! When Dembe came to us, we immediately noticed that he "runs a bit off." A visit to the animal clinic showed that he has ED and also HD. His elbows have been operated on and he now runs much better! Dembe is thus no "marathon dog" and does not need long walks, but likes it a bit more comfortably. But in everyday life, it does not bother him. Therefore, Dembe should also get an apartment with an accessible floor. A rural setting and a house with a garden would be ideal. Dembe gets along well with strangers: even at the animal clinic, he radiated joy and hoped for many stroking hands. Dembe is the absolute cuddle ball, very loving with every person and would never want to be far from his person. He brings a wonderful mix of quiet moments and active, playful phases, which are never annoying. Also with cats, Dembe gets along well and behaved excellently during the cat test. He has not yet had much experience, but takes the support and leadership of his person very gratefully and orientates himself according to him. Dembe was at a workshop with aspiring dog trainers and also showed how quickly he can open up to new people and situations when shown that he is safe with his person and that he has earned his person's trust. All our dogs are microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. They have a blood test and will be getting to know you after the meet-and-greet and positive. Would you like to adopt Dembe? The goal of our placement is that your family provides a home where the selected dog is loved and respected, and that all family members are happy with the new family member. Therefore, we need some information via an interested party questionnaire under your. Help for Herdenschutzhunde e.V.

Dembe haben wir gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern Maksym, Luwi, Olalla und Golo aufgenommen. Alle 5 waren in großer Not, wen hätten wir zurücklassen sollen? Also entschlossen wir uns, alle 5 im “Gesamtpaket” zu uns zu holen. So sehr die Geschwister sich in der schwierigen Situation Halt gegeben hatten, so sehr merkt man jetzt aber auch, wie die Not zusammengeschweißt hat, aber nicht wirklich jeder mit jedem zusammenleben wollte. So lebt Dembe nun glücklich mit seinen beiden Brüdern Golo und Luwi zusammen. Dembe kommt mit anderen Hunden bei den ersten Begegnungen ausgesprochen gut zurecht, jedoch ist er im Zusammenleben dann doch ein wenig wählerischer und würde sich sicherlich auch über die Rolle als Einzelprinz sehr freuen – oder mit einem seiner beiden Brüder Golo bzw. Luwi (oder beiden 😉 )! Als Dembe zu uns kam, viel uns gleich auf, dass er “unrund” läuft. Der Besuch der Tierklinik zeigte, dass er ED und auch HD hat. An den Ellbogen ist er inzwischen auch operiert worden und läuft seitdem deutlich besser! Dembe ist somit kein “Marathonhund” und braucht keine langen Spaziergänge, sondern liebt es ein wenig gemütlicher. Aber im Alltag beeinträchtigt ihn das nicht. Aufgrund dessen sollte Dembe aber auch ein ebenerdiges Zuhause bekommen. Ländlich und dazu ein Haus mit Garten wären der Hauptgewinn. Mit fremden Menschen kommt Dembe bestens zurecht: selbst in der Tierklinik hat er jeden freudig angestrahlt und hoffte auf viele streichelnde Hände. Dembe ist die absolute Schmusekugel, sehr lieb mit jedem Menschen und würde seinem Menschen am liebsten nicht mehr von der Seite weichen. Er bringt eine tolle Mischung von ruhigen Momenten mit, aber auch von aktiven, quierligen Phasen, die aber nie nervig sind. Auch mit Katzen kommt Dembe bestens klar und hat sich beim Katzentest vorbildlich benommen. Er hat noch nicht so viel kennengelernt, nimmt aber den Rückhalt und Führung seines Menschen sehr dankbar an und orientiert sich an ihm. Dembe war bei einem Workshop mit angehenden Hundetrainer mit dabei und hat auch da gezeigt, wie schnell er sich fremden Menschen und auch Situationen öffnen kann, wenn man ihm zeigt, dass er bei seinem Menschen in Sicherheit ist und dieser auch sein Vertrauen verdient. Alle unsere Hunde sind gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Sie haben ein Blutbild und werden nach Kennenlernen und positiver Vorkontrolle mit Schutzgebühr vermittelt. Sie möchten Dembe adoptieren? Das Vermittlungsziel ist, dass Ihre Familie ein Lebensplatz ist, auf dem der ausgewählte Hund geliebt und respektiert wird, und dass alle in der Familie mit dem neuen Familienmitglied glücklich sind. Deshalb benötigen wir einige Angaben per Interessentenfragebogen unter von Ihnen. Hilfe für Herdenschutzhunde e.V. – 44 66 354

About Dembe

What life with Dembe looks like

Dembe is a medium-sized 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 Dembe, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dembe?
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 Dembe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dembe 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 Dembe 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 Dembe 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 Dembe 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.
