Eike

Male · Senior · 10 years

Hello folks, I'm Eike and I'm only here at our shelter because of a recent vacancy. If you're looking for a pretty uncomplicated dog, I might be the right one for you. If you explain the rules and enforce them, I'm very easy to handle, always nice to people, and I don't cause any problems at the vet either. Since I'm so relaxed, you can even leave me alone at home without me barking or destroying the place. Outside, I have very few demands and walk well on a leash. However, I can sometimes be a bit distracted and need regular attention, especially when encountering other dogs or wild animals. I don't particularly like other dogs, and my hunting drive is awakened by other animals. Therefore, in my new home, I would be happy to be the only four-legged friend. Health-wise, I'm generally in top condition, unfortunately, I suffer from chronic dermatitis as well as a mild food intolerance, which is why I only get monoprotein horse food at our shelter. Additionally, an internal testicle was found during my castration and was not located, so I'm technically only half-neutered. But: Nothing of this restricts me in my everyday life. So I'm basically already in the starting blocks for long walks in my new home. Would you like to know more about me? Then get to know me informally. My animal caretakers and trainers can also tell you more about me.

Hallo Leute, ich bin Eike und bin nur aufgrund eines Sterbefalls hier im Tierheim gelandet. Wenn du einen ziemlich unkomplizierten Hund suchst, bin ich vielleicht der richtige für dich. Wenn man mir Regeln erklärt und sie auch durchsetzt, bin ich sehr leicht handelbar, immer nett zu Menschen, selbst beim Tierarzt mache ich gar keine Probleme. Da ich so entspannt bin, kannst du mich auch mal zuhause allein lassen, ohne dass ich belle oder die Einrichtung zerlege. Draußen habe ich recht wenig Ansprüche und laufe gut an der Leine. Manchmal bin ich allerdings etwas abgelenkt und brauche regelmäßige Ansprache. Vor allem dann, wenn wir anderen Hunden oder auch Wildtieren begegnen. Hunde mag ich nämlich nicht besonders und bei anderen Tieren erwacht meine jagdliche Motivation. In meinem neuen Zuhause bin ich daher auch gerne der einzige Vierbeiner. Gesundheitlich bin ich grundsätzlich topfit, leider aber an einer chronischen Dermatitis sowie einer leichten Futtermittelunverträglichkeit, weshalb ich hier im Tierheim nur Monoprotein-Futter mit Pferd bekomme. Außerdem wurde bei mir ein innenliegender Hoden festgestellt, der bei meiner Kastration nicht mehr gefunden wurde, weshalb ich genau genommen nur halb kastriert bin. Aber: Nichts davon schränkt mich im Alltag ein. Ich stehe also quasi schon in den Startlöchern für lange Spaziergänge im neuen Zuhause. Möchtest du noch mehr über mich erfahren? Dann lerne mich doch mal unverbindlich kennen. Meine Tierpfleger und Trainer können dir auch noch mehr über mich erzählen. Euer Eike

About Eike

What life with Eike looks like

Eike is a senior dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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. 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 Eike, answered.

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