Dodi

Mixed Breed · Male

Residence: Erbes Büdesheim Specials: cuddly, people-oriented Friendlier Companion with a guaranteed sugar shock. It’s clear that Dodi wants to live, having shown it multiple times! He came from Ukraine, where he was injured, treated, and then sent back onto the streets until someone finally took notice of his and his “Mama’s” plight. His “Mama” is Sirikit (who is likely not his biological mother, but the two have a deep connection. Both likely had a good home and their own family at one point, and were displaced due to war turmoil.) Dodi is very clingy and cuddly, constantly seeking body contact with his people. With other dogs, he’s compatible, but needs a brief moment to overcome his insecurity (only with unfamiliar dogs) to form friendships. Dodi is familiar with home life, is house-trained, and behaves impeccably in the apartment. He enjoys walks, goes well on a leash, but is generally a laid-back type who prefers to enjoy the shared time on the couch. He has no issues with cats, even if he might give them a brief warning at times. As a passenger, he’s a great companion: he rides in the car without a problem and even steps in almost by himself. Being alone in a new environment still gives him some trouble (which isn’t surprising, given his experiences), but once he knows the place, it’s no longer an issue. However, other people shouldn’t make themselves noticeable: as soon as Dodi hears people, he’s an absolute people friend, ready to greet them. This trait makes it a bit harder for him to be alone in a multi-family home where people walk by his front door loudly. Otherwise, Dodi is simply an uncomplicated treasure, loving, relaxed, and quickly overcomes smaller insecurities. We, or Dodi, are very excited to finally meet his Forever Family. All our dogs are microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. They have a blood test and will be with you after getting to know each other and showing positive chemistry. Would you like to adopt Dodi? The goal of our adoption is to find a home where the selected dog is loved and respected, and where all family members are happy with the new addition. Therefore, we need some information via an interested party questionnaire. Help for Herdenschutzhunde e.V. (Help for HSH e.V.). This animal was abandoned.

Aufenthaltsort: Erbes Büdesheim Besonderheiten: verschmust, menschenbezogen Freundlicher Begleiter mit Zuckerschockgaranti e Dass Dodi leben möchte, das hat er mehrfach bewiesen! Er kommt aus der Ukraine, wurde dort verletzt, behandelt, wieder auf die Straße gesetzt, bis jemand endlich auf sein Schicksal und das seiner „Mama“ aufmerksam wurde. Seine „Mama“ Sirikit (die sicherlich nicht seine biologische Mama ist, aber die beiden haben eine tiefe Verbindung zueinander. Beide hatten sicherlich mal ein gutes Zuhause gehabt, eine eigene Familie, und waren aufgrund der Kriegswirren ausgesetzt worden. Dodi ist sehr anhänglich und verschmust und sucht viel den Körperkontakt zu seinen Menschen. Mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich, braucht allerdings einen kurzen Moment, um über seine Unsicherheit (nur bei unbekannten Hunden) hinweg zu kommen und Freundschaft zuschließen. Dodi kennt das Leben im Haus, ist stubenrein und verhält sich in der Wohnung tadellos. Er freut sich über die Spaziergänge, geht auch toll an der Leine, ist aber grundsätzlich ehr ein gemütlicher Typ, der gerne die gemeinsame Zeit auf der Coach genießt. Mit Katzen hat er keine Probleme, auch wenn er sie mal kurz brummelnd auf Abstand hält. Selbst als Beifahrer macht er sich super: er fährt problemlos im Auto mit und steigt sogar schon fast von alleine ein. Das Alleine bleiben in fremder Umgebung fällt ihm noch etwas schwer (was kein Wunder ist, bei seinen Erfahrungen), aber sobald er den Ort kennt, ist das schon wieder kein Problem mehr. Jedoch sollten dann andere Menschen nicht auf sich aufmerksam machen: denn sobald Dodi Menschen hört, ist er als absoluter Menschenfreund sofort dabei, sie zu begrüßen. Diese Eigenschaft macht daher das Alleine sein in einem Mehrfamilienhaus mit Menschen, die an seiner Eingangstüre laut vorbeigehen, ein bißchen schwerer. Ansonsten ist Dodi einfach nur ein unkomplizierter Schatz, lieb, entspannt und kleinere Unsicherheiten überwindet er ganz schnell. Wir, bzw. Dodi freut sich sehr, endlich seine Für-Immer-Familie kennen zulernen. Alle unsere Hunde sind gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Sie haben ein Blutbild und werden nach Kennenlernen und positiver Vorkontrolle mit Schutzgebühr vermittelt. Sie möchten Dodi 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. (Hilfe für HSH e.V.) An den Hesseln 1 55234 Erbes-Büdesheim – 44 66 354

About Dodi

What life with Dodi looks like

Dodi is a small 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 Dodi, answered.

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