Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Flocky – small dog with a big personality → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: 10/2017 → Size / Weight: 35 cm / 15 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Flocky is a lively little guy with a black and brown coat that will charm any dog lover.

Flocky is an energetic dog who needs someone to consistently guide him and lead him. He requires someone who can provide the structure he needs. Despite his small size, Flocky has the needs of a large dog and should not be underestimated. If you're looking for a small dog with a big heart and lots of energy, you should call for Flocky. He will accompany you every step of the way!

Als Rüde mittleren Alters sucht er eine Familie, die aktiv ist und ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig auslastet. Flocky liebt Menschen und ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden, aber wenn ein Zweithund bereits in der Familie ist, sollte dieser sehr souverän sein und sich nicht die Butter vom Brot nehmen lassen. Er liebt es, in der Natur zu sein und seine Sinne zu schärfen. Er wird sicherlich Spaß daran haben, zu schnüffeln, Suchspiele zu spielen und Fährten aufzunehmen. Die Natur ist sein Spielplatz und er wird sich freuen, wenn er mit seiner Familie auf Entdeckungstour gehen kann. Denn ein Couchpotato ist er sicher nicht! Flocky ist ein aufgedrehter Hund, der einen Menschen benötigt, der ihm konsequent den Weg zeigt und ihn führt. Er braucht jemanden, der ihm die Struktur gibt, die er benötigt. Trotz seiner kleinen Größe hat Flocky die Bedürfnisse eines großen Hundes und sollte nicht unterschätzt werden. Wenn du nach einem kleinen Hund mit großem Herzen und viel Energie suchst, dann solltest du für Flocky anrufen. Er wird dich auf Schritt und Tritt begleiten! {youtube}

About Flocky

What life with Flocky looks like

Flocky is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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 Flocky, answered.

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