How do I contact the shelter about Flocky?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Pirmasens 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 — Tierheim Pirmasens 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 Tierheim Pirmasens 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.

Flocky

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Flocky, born in 2016, also came to us through the authorities! He has presented himself as a really friendly, but somewhat boisterous dog. At first, he is skeptical with strangers but can be convinced quickly with food. Flocky is friendly, sometimes a bit pushy, and can also be disrespectful at times. He has a lot of power, little training, and a significant amount of weight to throw around. However, for the right, stable, and dog-experienced people, this shouldn’t be a problem. Flocky is not a friend to other dogs (one must always test compatibility with others). We would therefore like to place him with stable and reliable people as a single dog. It would be important to train him calmly and consistently and to have fun together with him. Children should be in the teenage years and already dog-experienced. Flocky is such a handsome and lovable dog in the perfect senior age! Get to know him with us informally. Please make an appointment in advance! -16 { margin: auto; } -16 -16 img { border: 2px solid; }

Flocky, geboren 2016 Auch unser Flocky kam über das Amt zu uns! Er hat sich als wirklich netter, freundlicher, aber etwas ungestümer Hund bei uns vorgestellt. Bei Fremden ist er erst mal skeptisch, ist aber mit Futter schnell zu überzeugen. Flocky ist freundlich, manchmal etwas aufdringlich und durchaus auch mal respektlos. Er hat ordentlich Power, wenig Erziehung und einiges an Gewicht in die Waagschale zu werfen. Bei den richtigen, standfesten und hunderfahrenen Menschen sollte das aber kein Problem sein. Flocky ist kein Freund anderer Hunde (eine Verträglichkeit muss man immer testen). Wir würden ihn deshalb gerne als Einzelhund zu stabilen und verlässlichen Menschen vermitteln. Wichtig wäre, ihn ruhig und konsequent zu erziehen und gemeinsam mit ihm Spaß zu haben. Kinder sollten im Teenageralter und bereits hundeerfahren sein. Flocky ist ein so hübscher und liebenswerter Hund im perfekten Rüdenalter! Lernt ihn bei uns unverbindlich kennen. Bitte vereinbart dafür vorab unbedingt einen Termin! -17 { margin: auto; } -17 -17 img { border: 2px solid ; } -17 /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

About Flocky

What life with Flocky looks like

Flocky is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Pirmasens in Pirmasens.

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.
