Django

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

The male comes from the "bad keeping Königsmoos" case: 134 dogs were kept on a property there and largely left to themselves. Django came to us at the animal shelter together with two other males. The dogs never had their own bowl, their own bed, and they don't know collars or leashes. Contact with people was minimal, simply too little to properly socialize the dogs. With Django, you need a lot of time and patience; it will take a while before he can really open up to people. The male only knows life together with many other dogs in a pack and does not know how to be alone. The word "housetrained" is a foreign concept for the brown Labrador mix. Although he now keeps his indoor kennel relatively clean and does his business in the outdoor run. Django is very shy and likes to hide behind his dog buddies. Whoever decides on one of these dogs needs a great deal of time and patience. The males should either move to their new family in pairs or join a confident first dog. -male, not neutered -10 years old -Labrador mix

Der Rüde stammt aus der ’schlechten Haltung Königsmoos‘, 134 Hunde wurden dort auf einem Grundstück gehalten und ziemlich sich selbst überlassen. Django kam zusammen mit zwei anderen Rüden zu uns ins Tierheim. Die Hunde hatten nie einen eigenen Napf, nie ein eigenes Körbchen und Halsband und Leine kennen sie nicht. Der Kontakt zu Menschen war minimal, einfach zu wenig, um die Hunde richtig zu sozialisieren. Mit Django muss man viel Zeit und Geduld haben, es wird dauern, bis er sich auf Menschen so richtig einlassen kann. Der Rüde kennt nur das Leben zusammen mit vielen anderen Hunden im Rudel, alleine sein kennt er nicht. Das Wort ’stubenrein‘ ist ein Fremdwort für den braunen Labrador-Mix. Obwohl er mittlerweile seinen ‚Innenzwinger‘ relativ sauber hält und sein Geschäft im Außenzwinger erledigt. Django ist sehr scheu und versteckt sich gerne hinter seinen Hundekumpels. Wer sich für einen dieser Hunde entscheidet, braucht sehr viel Zeit und Geduld. Die Rüden sollten entweder zu zweit zu ihrer neuen Familie ziehen oder zu einem souveränen Ersthund dazu. -männlich, nicht kastriert -10 Jahre alt -Labrador Mix

About Django

What life with Django looks like

Django is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Amberg in Ursensollen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Django, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Django?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Amberg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Django on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Django if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Amberg 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Django 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 Django 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 Amberg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Django 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.
