Eddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Eddi is an affectionate, sensitive male dog who is looking for people who approach him with calm, experience, and composure. He has a boisterous temperament and very much wants to please his primary caregiver – ideally he would always be right close to his people and first in their hearts. In new situations, however, he still shows some insecurity: everyday noises such as the television or passing cars can unsettle him. With loving, clearly structured training, this insecurity can be well supported, because Eddi takes his cues strongly from his people and learns quickly when he is allowed to feel safe. Riding in the car and bathing bring him great joy, and regular cuddle sessions are an absolute must for him. At his first age estimate, Romanian veterinarians believed he was already born in 2014, while German veterinarians think Eddi is more likely four to five years old (he was only identified in 2024) – interested parties are welcome to see for themselves in person. For Eddi we wish for a child-free home with steady, self-assured people or a single person who enjoys growing together with him. Whoever gives him security, structure, and loving guidance will gain a dog who goes through life with devotion, heart, and genuine bond. Eddi is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, and after a positive preliminary check he will be placed with a protection contract.

Eddi ist ein anhänglicher, sensibler Rüde, der Menschen sucht, die ihm mit Ruhe, Erfahrung und Gelassenheit begegnen. Er bringt ein stürmisches Temperament mit und möchte seiner Bezugsperson unbedingt gefallen – am liebsten wäre er immer ganz nah bei seinen Menschen und an erster Stelle in ihrem Herzen.In neuen Situationen zeigt er sich jedoch noch unsicher: Alltagsgeräusche wie der Fernseher oder vorbeifahrende Autos können ihn verunsichern. Mit einem liebevollen, klar strukturierten Training lässt sich diese Unsicherheit gut begleiten, denn Eddi orientiert sich stark an seinen Menschen und lernt schnell, wenn er sich sicher fühlen darf.Autofahren und Baden bereiten ihm große Freude, und auch regelmäßige Kuscheleinheiten gehören für ihn unbedingt dazu. Bei seiner ersten Alterseinschätzung glaubten rumänische Tierärzte er wäre bereits 2014 geboren, deutsche Tierärzte gehen eher davon aus, dass Eddi vier bis fünf Jahre alt ist (identifiziert wurde er erst im Jahr 2024) – Interessenten dürfen sich davon gern persönlich überzeugen.Für Eddi wünschen wir uns ein kinderloses Zuhause mit standfesten, souveränen Menschen oder einer Einzelperson, die Freude daran hat, gemeinsam mit ihm zu wachsen. Wer ihm Sicherheit, Struktur und liebevolle Führung schenkt, bekommt einen Hund an die Seite, der mit Hingabe, Herz und echter Verbundenheit durchs Leben geht.Eddi ist geimpft, gechippt und kastriert und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Eddy

What life with Eddy looks like

Eddy is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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 Eddy, answered.

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