Adopt Fritz

Male · Adult · 7 years

Our Fritz is a 4-year-old Terrier-Mix male dog. He is friendly, but also very restless and has great separation anxiety. Letting his people go is sometimes so difficult for him that he then tries to push through the door. But this can be worked on, because Fritz learns quickly 😉 he is very smart and can understand basic commands very well. Other dogs are not liked by Fritz at all. He should wear a muzzle during walks to protect himself and other dogs. We wish for him a quiet home, preferably near a forest or on a farm. Because there the training conditions are optimal. He can move into a house or an apartment with a garden. We do not see Fritz in an apartment block. There should be no children in the household and his new people should have experience in handling this breed.

Unser Fritz ist ein 4 jähriger Terrier-Mix Rüde. Er ist freundlich, aber auch sehr unruhig und hat große Verlustängste. Seine Menschen gehen zu lassen. fällt ihm sogar manchmal so schwer, dass er dann versucht sich mit durch die Tür zu drängeln. Daran kann man aber arbeiten, denn Fritz lernt schnell 😉 er ist sehr schlau und kann die Grundkommandos sehr gut. Andere Hunde mag Fritz überhaupt nicht. Er sollte bei Gassirunden einen Maulkorb tragen, um ihn und andere Hunde zu schützen. Für ihn wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, wenn möglich in der Nähe eines Waldes oder auf einem Dorf. Denn da sind die Trainingsbedingungen optimal. Er darf auf ein Grundstück oder eine Wohnung mit Garten ziehen. In einem Wohnblock sehen wir Fritz aber nicht. Es sollten keine Kinder im Haushalt leben und seine Neuen Menschen sollten Erfahrungen im Umgang mit dieser Rasse haben.

About Fritz

What life with Fritz looks like

Fritz is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Cottbus in Cottbus.

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 Fritz, answered.

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