Donny

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Donny came to us as a stray dog, completely distressed. Tied up and abandoned, he wouldn’t let anyone touch him at first. By now, Donny has settled in and has built trust with some of his caregivers. However, he remains wary of strangers for a long time and shows clear defensive behavior. Once the ice is broken, Donny loves his person above all else. Since ...

Donny kam völlig verstört als Fundhund zu uns. Angebunden und zurückgelassen ließ er sich am Anfang von keinem anfassen. Inzwischen ist Donny angekommen und hat zu einigen Pflegern Vertrauen aufgebaut. Doch bei Fremden ist er nach wie vor lange misstrauisch und zeigt seine Abwehrhaltung. Ist das Eis gebrochen, liebt Donny seinen Menschen über alles. Da ... Weiterlesen

About Donny

What life with Donny looks like

Donny is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzzentrum Scherzingen in Ehrenkirchen-Scherzingen.

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 Donny, answered.

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