Donny

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Donny is a particularly friendly and loyal male dog, who has been waiting far too long to be seen. He has lived in the shelter for over 3 years – an incredibly long time for a dog who would love to be part of a family. He shouldn’t have to spend his golden years behind bars but should finally get to experience what a real home feels like. Donny is about 8 years old and with a shoulder height of around 60 cm, a stately, medium to large male dog. With his blond-black spotted fur, gentle dark eyes, and loyal gaze, he is a truly beautiful dog who immediately captures the heart. His demeanor is calm, friendly, and open. Despite his unknown past, Donny hasn’t lost his faith in people. On the contrary, he is very friendly, attentive, and enjoys being petted. He seeks proximity and actively looks for it. With other dogs, Donny is compatible and shows social and unproblematic behavior. A life in a house is something Donny likely hasn’t experienced yet. Things like house training, leash walking, and everyday routines are what he needs to learn. With his friendly, cooperative nature, he brings excellent prerequisites to quickly settle in. With patience, loving consistency, and clear structures, he will develop well. Positive dog training classes can help provide him with additional security and strengthen the bond. Due to his shortened testicles, an entry into Switzerland is unfortunately not possible. Donny brings German Shepherd mix traits: he is attentive, eager to learn, and wants to bond closely with his people. Therefore, it is even more important that he finally leaves the shelter and gets the chance to fully unfold. For Donny, we wish for a loving home with people who will give him time to settle in and appreciate his friendly, gentle nature. He has more than earned the remaining years of his life to be spent not in a kennel but as a beloved family member. We would also be very happy about a foster home, as it could be a crucial first step in a new life for Donny. Donny travels neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated with an EU pet passport to his new home.

Donny ist ein besonders freundlicher und treuer Rüde, der schon viel zu lange darauf wartet, endlich gesehen zu werden. Seit über 3 Jahren lebt er im Shelter – eine unglaublich lange Zeit für einen Hund, der so gerne Teil einer Familie wäre. Er soll seinen Lebensabend nicht hinter Gittern verbringen müssen, sondern endlich erfahren dürfen, wie sich ein echtes Zuhause anfühlt. Donny ist etwa 8 Jahre alt und mit rund 60 cm Schulterhöhe ein stattlicher, mittelgroßer bis größerer Rüde. Mit seinem blond‑schwarz gezeichneten Fell, den sanften, dunklen Augen und seinem treuen Blick ist er ein wirklich wunderschöner Hund, der sofort berührt. Seine Ausstrahlung ist ruhig, freundlich und offen. Trotz seiner unbekannten Vergangenheit hat Donny seinen Glauben an den Menschen nicht verloren. Im Gegenteil: Er zeigt sich sehr freundlich, zugewandt und lässt sich gerne streicheln. Nähe genießt er und sucht sie auch aktiv. Mit anderen Hunden ist Donny verträglich und zeigt sich im Umgang sozial und unproblematisch. Ein Leben im Haus kennt Donny vermutlich noch nicht. Dinge wie Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit und Alltagsroutinen muss er erst lernen. Mit seiner freundlichen, kooperativen Art bringt er jedoch beste Voraussetzungen mit, sich schnell einzufinden. Mit Geduld, liebevoller Konsequenz und klaren Strukturen wird er sich gut entwickeln. Eine positiv arbeitende Hundeschule kann dabei unterstützen, ihm zusätzliche Sicherheit zu geben und die Bindung weiter zu stärken. Aufgrund seiner verkürzten Rute ist eine Einreise in die Schweiz leider nicht möglich. Donny bringt als Schäferhund-Mix vielleicht rassetypische Eigenschaften mit: Er ist aufmerksam, lernwillig und möchte sich eng an seine Menschen binden. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass er endlich aus dem Shelter kommt und die Chance bekommt, sich wirklich zu entfalten. Für Donny wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben anzukommen und die seine freundliche, sanfte Art zu schätzen wissen. Er hat es mehr als verdient, die verbleibende Zeit seines Lebens nicht im Zwinger, sondern als geliebtes Familienmitglied zu verbringen. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würden wir uns sehr freuen, da sie für Donny ein wichtiger erster Schritt in ein neues Leben sein kann. Donny reist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit EU‑Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause. Die

About Donny

What life with Donny looks like

Donny is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Donny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Donny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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.
