How do I contact the shelter about El Chabby?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Karlsruhe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw El Chabby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt El Chabby if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Karlsruhe 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 El Chabby 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 El Chabby 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 Karlsruhe early rather than rehoming privately; they know El Chabby 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.

El Chabby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Chabby was surrendered to us because his family could no longer cope with him. He originally comes from abroad. He is initially suspicious of strangers. He needs some time to warm up and gain trust. Otherwise, Chabby is very affectionate and needy with people he knows. He finds it difficult to be alone in the kennel. He grieves a lot and does not cope well with this situation. However, Chabby also knows what he wants and what he does not want. You still need to work with him so that he realizes that certain things are not bad and he can put up with them. He gets along with other dogs depending on his mood. He tends to bully other dogs on a leash. Chabby is looking for people who already have experience with dogs. There should be no children in the household. We are happy that you are interested in El Chabby. Please send us a direct inquiry. Then you will become a sponsor for El Chabby. Of course, El Chabby also appreciates individual monetary and material donations.

DE·Show original

Chabby wurde bei uns abgegeben, da seine Familie nicht mehr mit ihm zurechtgekommen ist. Er stammt ursprünglich aus dem Ausland. Bei fremden Menschen reagiert er zunächst misstrauisch. Er braucht etwas Zeit um aufzutauen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Ansonsten zeigt Chabby sich bei uns bei bekannten Personen sehr anhänglich und liebebedürftig. Es fällt ihm schwer alleine im Zwinger zu sein. Er trauert sehr und kommt mit dieser Situation nicht so gut zurecht. Chabby weiß aber auch was er möchte und was nicht. Hier muss man noch mit ihm arbeiten, damit er merkt, dass gewisse Dinge nicht schlimm sind und er es über sich ergehen lassen kann. Mit anderen Hunden verträgt er sich nach Sympathie. An der Leine neigt er dazu andere Hunde anzupöbeln. Chabby sucht Menschen, die bereits Hundeerfahrung haben. Es sollten keine Kinder im Haushalt leben. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für El Chabby interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für El Chabby. Natürlich freut sich El Chabby auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About El Chabby

What life with El Chabby looks like

El Chabby is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

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.
