Floky

Mixed Breed · Male

When you're three years old and have the most wonderful big eyes in the world, you want to run through the fields with friends, eat grass, and hang your ears in the wind while riding in a car - well, at least if you're a charming little, floppy-eared male dog like Floky. This extremely loving mixed breed unfortunately lost his owner. To Flokys great surprise, his best friend suddenly died, and now the previously spoiled and beloved Springinsfeld has a completely different life. Like many other dog owners, the elderly man did not make provisions for what should happen to his dog in case of an emergency. Now Floky is part of the inheritance - and no one wants him. The son of his owner is willing to keep the grieving dog in the house until the property is needed elsewhere, he walks Floky twice a day and feeds the young dog - but most of the time, the poor four-legged animal is alone in the now so eerily quiet house where he spent the best times of his life. We are urgently looking for a new environment for Floky, where he can reconnect with a family and quickly forget his loneliness and grief. Floky is a sociable, rather quiet and very balanced companion, for whom long, exciting walks are the greatest joy. In the evenings, he likes to lie close to his humans and enjoys any kind of affection. This friendly mixed breed knows life in a house, behaves very well on his own, and is naturally qualified for the award "Beginner's Dog." Please don't leave our Floky alone in "his" house for too long, a cuddly and team-player like him needs family connection, love and company. Speaking of company - our wonderful gentleman also values four-legged friends and would certainly be happy if a playmate was already waiting for him in his new home.

DE·Show original

Wenn man drei Jahre alt ist und die wundervollsten Kulleraugen der Welt hat, dann will man mit Freunden durch die Felder toben und Gras fressen und beim Autofahren die Ohren in den Wind hängen – ähm, also zumindest, wenn man ein entzückender kleiner, schlappohriger Rüde wie Floky ist. Der extrem liebe Mischling hat leider sein Herrchen verloren. Vollkommen überraschend starb Flokys bester Freund, und nun hat der bisher so verwöhnte und geliebte Springinsfeld plötzlich ein ganz anderes Leben. Wie so viele andere Hundehalter hat der ältere Mann leider nicht vorgesorgt, was mit seinem Hund passieren soll, wenn mal ein Notfall eintritt. Jetzt ist Floky ein Teil der Erbschaft – und keiner möchte ihn haben. Der Sohn seines Besitzers ist bereit, den trauernden Hund im Haus zu lassen, bis die Immobilie anderweitig gebraucht wird, er geht zweimal am Tag mit Floky spazieren und füttert den jungen Hund – aber die meiste Zeit sitzt der arme Vierbeiner allein im jetzt so gruselig stillen Haus, in dem er die schönsten Stunden seines Lebens verbracht hat. Wir suchen für Floky schnell einen neuen Wirkungskreis, wo er wieder Anschluss an eine Familie hat und die Einsamkeit und die Trauer schnell vergessen kann. Floky ist ein umgänglicher, eher ruhiger und sehr ausgeglichener Zeitgenosse, für den lange, spannende Spaziergänge das Größte sind. Abends liegt er gern nahe bei seinen Menschen und genießt jegliche Art von Zuwendung. Der freundliche Mischling kennt das Leben im Haus, weiß sich schon prima zu benehmen und qualifiziert sich natürlich für die Auszeichnung „Anfängerhund“. Bitte lassen Sie unseren Floky nicht allzu lange allein in „seinem“ Haus sitzen, ein Kuscheltierchen und Teamplayer wie er braucht Familienanschluss, Liebe und Gesellschaft. Apropos Gesellschaft – unser wundervoller Gentleman schätzt auch vierbeinige Freunde und würde sich durchaus freuen, wenn in seinem neuen Heim schon ein Spielkamerad wartete.

About Floky

What life with Floky looks like

Floky is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Floky, answered.

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