Dickerchen

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 16 years

Dickerchen Category: Dogs Last updated: August 8, 2026 Sex: male Born: 2010 Breed: Corgie Labrador Mix Size: approx. 30 cm Neutered: no Wanted: Foster home Diseases: deaf, almost blind Dickerchen is a proud 16 years old Corgie-Labrador Mix. He spent his whole life with his owner. Unfortunately, his owner can no longer take care of him. In the meantime, he has settled in well with us, although he is deaf and has poor eyesight. Dickerchen is a very calm and relaxed dog. He is not interested in other dogs and cats are just fine with him. He just wants a quiet place, a little affection and some exercise. Only at the vet does he have a strong opinion and he passionately and consistently defends his position. Dickerchen is looking for a foster home. We cover all veterinary costs and of course we will continue to be there for him.

Dickerchen Kategorie: Hunde Zuletzt aktualisiert: 08. August 2026 Geschlecht: männlich geb. am: 2010 Rasse: Corgie Labrador Mix Größe: ca. 30 cm kastriert: nein gesucht: Pflegeplatz Krankheiten: taub, fast blind Dickerchen ist stolze 16 Jahre alt und ein Corgie-Labrador Mix. Sein ganzes Leben verbrachte er mit seinem Frauchen. Leider kann Frauchen sich nun nicht mehr um ihn kümmern. Mittlerweile findet er sich bei uns ganz gut zurecht, obwohl er taub ist und schlecht sieht. Dickerchen ist ein ganz ruhiger und entspannter Hund. Für Artgenossen interessiert er sich gar nicht und auch Katzen gehen ihm hinten vorbei. Er möchte einfach ein ruhiges Plätzchen, ein bisschen Zuwendung und etwas Auslauf. Nur beim Tierarzt hat er eine feste Meinung und er vertritt seinen Standpunkt leidenschaftlich und konsequent. Dickerchen sucht einen Pflegeplatz. Alle Tierarztkosten übernehmen wir und natürlich sind wir weiterhin für ihn da.

About Dickerchen

What life with Dickerchen looks like

Dickerchen is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Altentreptow in Altentreptow.

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 Dickerchen, answered.

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