Adopt Ike

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Ike – long, funny, lovable – a unique one on four short legs → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: male → Born: April 2024 → Size / Weight: 36 cm / 18 kg → neutered: yes → vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: n/a → Sponsorships possible: yes Description This young male dog is a true speciality – not only in nature, but also in his funny physique. At just under 40 cm, he’s one of the smaller ones, but his long, sturdy figure makes him unmistakable. Especially his round, bouncy bottom brings a smile to everyone’s face – when he wiggles happily in front of you, it’s hard not to be joyful. With floppy ears included! But behind his charming appearance lies a real character. He can be stubborn and likes to test his limits now and then. That’s why we’re looking for people who stay firm, are lovingly consistent, and show him that he can adapt. With patience, humor, and clear boundaries, he will develop into a wonderful companion. He comes from a very special story: Together with his siblings, his mother, and even his grandmother, he was rescued – the whole family was able to come to safety. However, that also means: He has only known life in the shelter and hasn’t experienced the outside world yet.

Ike – lang, lustig, liebenswert – ein Unikat auf vier kurzen Pfoten → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 04/2024 → Grösse / Gewicht: 36 cm / 18 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Dieser junge Rüde ist eine echte Besonderheit – nicht nur vom Wesen, sondern auch von seiner lustigen Körperform. Mit seinen knapp 40 cm gehört er zu den Kleinen, aber seine lange, kräftige Figur macht ihn unverwechselbar. Besonders sein runder, knackiger Popo sorgt bei jedem Spaziergang für ein Lächeln – wenn er fröhlich wackelnd vor einem herläuft, kann man kaum anders, als sich zu freuen. Schlappohren inklusive! Doch hinter seiner charmanten Erscheinung steckt auch ein echter Charakterkopf. Er kann stur sein und testet gern mal seine Grenzen. Deshalb suchen wir Menschen, die standhaft bleiben, liebevoll konsequent sind und ihm zeigen, dass er sich anpassen darf. Mit Geduld, Humor und klarer Linie wird er sich zu einem wunderbaren Begleiter entwickeln. Er stammt aus einer ganz besonderen Geschichte: Gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern, seiner Mama und sogar seiner Oma wurde er gerettet – die ganze Familie durfte in Sicherheit kommen. Allerdings bedeutet das auch: Er kennt bisher nur das Leben in der Pension und hat die Welt draußen noch nicht erfahren. Alles, was für uns selbstverständlich ist – an der Leine laufen, Geschirr tragen, im Haus leben – muss er erst noch l

About Ike

What life with Ike looks like

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

An young 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 Ike, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ike?
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 Ike on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ike 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 Ike 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 Ike 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 Ike 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.
