Digger( Tierheim Pirmasens )

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Digger born 2/2020 neutered (Bully XXL) Digger came to us via the veterinary office and, according to his phenotype, is classified as a dangerous dog in Rhineland-Palatinate. Therefore, there are several requirements for the future owner, which we would be happy to inform you about. Digger shows himself to be a rather insecure dog with us. However, he is also the type who will definitely growl and keep unwanted things at bay. With such a powerful dog like him, this can be quite impressive. He has truly unbridled strength and knows how to use it when it comes to getting from A to B. Leash walking and orientation towards humans are still quite foreign to him. He is now learning this very slowly. Digger is a dog to whom few boundaries have been set and who has had little experience. We do not want to hide the fact that he attacked a small dog and seriously injured it. For this reason, he cannot be rehomed with other dogs, cats, small animals, or families with children. Ball and hunting games should also be off-limits for him in the future. These certainly contributed to his misguided prey behavior. Digger needs a clear framework and people who can provide this calmly and objectively. We know there are knowledgeable and absolutely reliable people who we (and who trust themselves) can take on our Digger. Anyone interested in our Digger, please contact us in writing, providing a callback number. We would then be happy to arrange a meeting.

Digger geboren 2/2020 kastriert (Bully XXL) Digger kam über das Veterinäramt zu uns und ist nach seinem Phänotyp in Rheinland-Pfalz als gefährlicher Hund eingestuft. Mit seiner Haltung gehen deshalb einige Auflagen an den zukünftigen Besitzer einher, über die wir sie gerne informieren. Digger zeigt sich bei uns als eher unsicherer Hund. Allerdings ist er dabei auch der Typ, der durchaus knurrt und sich so Unliebsames vom Leib hält. Bei einem so kräftigen Hund wie ihm beeindruckt das durchaus. Er hat eine wirklich unbändige Kraft und die weiß er einzusetzen, wenn es gilt, von A nach B zu kommen. Leinenführigkeit und die Orientierung am Mensch ist ihm noch ziemlich fremd. Das lernt er nun ganz langsam. Digger ist ein Hund, dem bislang wenig Grenzen gesetzt wurden und der wenig kennengelernt hat. Wir möchten hier nicht verschweigen, dass er einen kleinen Hund angegriffen und schwer verletzt hat. Aus diesem Grund kann er nicht zu anderen Hunden, Katzen, Kleintieren und Familien mit Kindern vermittelt werden. Ball- und Jagdspiele sollten für ihn zukünftig ebenso tabu sein. Die haben sein fehlgeleitetes Beutefang-Verhalten sicherlich mit gefördert. Digger benötigt einen klaren Rahmen und Menschen, die ihm diesen ruhig und sachlich vorgeben. Wir wissen, es gibt diese hundekundigen und absolut verlässlichen Menschen, denen wir (und die sich selbst) zutrauen, sich unserem Digger anzunehmen. Wer sich für unseren Digger interessiert, meldet sich bitte schriftlich unter Angabe einer Rückrufnummer. Wir vereinbaren dann gerne einen Kennenlerntermin. Tierheim Pirmasens

About Digger( Tierheim Pirmasens )

What life with Digger( Tierheim Pirmasens ) looks like

Digger( Tierheim Pirmasens ) is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Listenhunde Nothilfe in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Digger( Tierheim Pirmasens ), answered.

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