Franzl

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Franzl is an energetic and playful dog who can also be very open once he has come to know people better. He shows himself to be a social and friendly dog. We believe he can orient himself well when his people offer him security and guide him accordingly. Franzl is not suited to city life, as it would completely overwhelm him. He is eager to learn and looks forward to picking up new things in a calm environment. A first-time dog owner's household is welcome, as Franzl enjoys interacting with other dogs and has for some time been living in a small animal shelter with several other dogs, where he gets along very well. Since he has already been in the shelter for a while, it is important that his future family takes the time to show him everything. On all of our visits he has always proven himself to be a truly wonderful dog. If you are interested, please fill out the adoption form. After a positive preliminary check and for an adoption fee of 495 euros, Franzl can be vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and neutered and begin his journey to his new home.

Franzl ist ein energiegeladener und verspielter Hund, der auch sehr aufgeschlossen sein kann, sobald er die Menschen näher kennengelernt hat. Er zeigt sich als sozialer und freundlicher Hund. Wir glauben, dass er sich gut orientieren kann, wenn ihm seine Menschen Sicherheit bieten und ihn entsprechend anleiten. Franzl ist nicht für die Stadt geeignet, da ihn dies komplett überfordern würde. Er ist lernwillig und freut sich darauf, neue Dinge in einer ruhigen Umgebung zu lernen. Gerne kann ein Ersthund vorhanden sein, da Franzl die Interaktion mit anderen Hunden mag und aktuell schon lange in einem kleinen Tierheim mit mehreren anderen Hunden zusammenlebt, wo er sehr gut zurechtkommt. Da er bereits seit einiger Zeit im Tierheim lebt, ist es wichtig, dass seine zukünftige Familie Zeit aufbringt, um ihm alles zu zeigen. Bei all unseren Besuchen hat er sich immer als ein ganz toller Hund gezeigt. Wenn Sie interessiert sind, füllen Sie bitte das Adoptionsformular aus. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro kann Franzl geimpft, entwurmt, gechippt und kastriert seine Reise antreten.

About Franzl

What life with Franzl looks like

Franzl is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Franzl, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Franzl?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Franzl on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Franzl if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. whether they will for Franzl, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Franzl already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. lists Franzl as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Franzl isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Franzl 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.
