Ismael

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Character & Nature: A gentle, easygoing enjoyer with a touch of silliness, Ismael is a lively, often silly type who puts a smile on everyone's face. He approaches strangers openly and shows himself to be very clingy, gentle, and cooperative with his trusted people. He enjoys cuddles and shared breaks very much. At the same time, he brings the sovereignty of a herding dog mix: he is curious, agile, and multi-interesting, but also likes to assert his own head from time to time. Challenges: A relaxed senior with preferences Ismael, while an agile and multi-interesting dog who follows new temptations, is also a very sensitive character. He reacts extremely sensitively to moods and immediately notices negative intentions in his surroundings. He is a dog of quiet tones: he forgives negative or unfair behavior only slowly and needs people who give him security with benevolent consequences. Although he usually keeps his composure in stressful moments and appears calm, he still needs support from his person because he sometimes struggles to find his own solutions. Ismael is also an individualist: among fellow animals, it's the sympathy that decides. Specialties: A long journey awaits its destination. Ismael came to us from Romania in February 2021. This now-stout male dog has been waiting for over five years to be discovered. He loves extensive nature outings and is a real water fan who likes to splash in streams. Although he currently lives with a younger female dog in the animal shelter, he doesn't need a lot of commotion around him. Due to his age and size, we wish for him an accessible retirement spot. We are looking for people for Ismael who appreciate his mix of strength and sensitivity. He needs someone who guides him through daily life and understands his fine perception. Ismael is ready to pack his bags and share his big heart. He is a faithful companion for people who are looking for an honest and lively dog. Who will give this special senior a safe haven for his golden years? © Photos: Steffis Fotounikate – Hundefotografie () Send an email with the fully completed interested party application form to us if you are interested in one of our animals, or contact us via our contact form with any questions.

Charakter & Wesen: Ein sanftmütiger Genießer mit einer Prise Albernheit Ismael ist ein lebenslustiger, oft alberner Typ, der jedem ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubert. Er geht offen auf fremde Menschen zu und zeigt sich seinen Bezugspersonen gegenüber sehr anhänglich, sanftmütig und kooperativ. Er genießt Streicheleinheiten und gemeinsame Pausen sehr. Gleichzeitig bringt er die Souveränität eines Herdenschutzhund-Mixes mit: Er ist neugierig, agil und vielseitig interessiert, möchte aber auch gerne mal seinen eigenen Kopf durchsetzen. Herausforderungen: Ein entspannter Senior mit Vorlieben Obwohl Ismael ein agiler und vielseitig interessierter Hund ist, der neuen Reizen gerne folgt, ist er gleichzeitig ein sehr feinfühliger Charakter. Er reagiert extrem sensibel auf Stimmungen und bemerkt negative Absichten in seinem Umfeld sofort. Er ist ein Hund der leisen Töne: Er verzeiht negatives oder unfaires Verhalten nur langsam und braucht Menschen, die ihm mit wohlwollender Konsequenz Sicherheit geben. In stressigen Momenten behält er zwar meist die Fassung und wirkt ruhig, braucht jedoch Unterstützung durch seinen Menschen, da er selbst manchmal schlechter eigene Lösungsansätze findet. Ismael ist zudem ein Individualist: bei Artgenossen entscheidet die Sympathie. Besonderheiten: Ein langer Weg wartet auf sein Ziel Ismael kam bereits im Februar 2021 aus Rumänien zu uns. Seit über fünf Jahren wartet dieser stattliche Rüde nun schon darauf, dass ihn jemand entdeckt. Er liebt ausgiebige Ausflüge in die Natur und ist ein echter Wasserfan, der gerne in Bächen planscht. Obwohl er im Tierheim aktuell mit einer jüngeren Hündin zusammenlebt, braucht er keinen großen Trubel um sich herum. Aufgrund seines Alters und seiner Größe wünschen wir uns für ihn einen ebenerdigen Altersruhesitz. Wir suchen für Ismael Menschen, die seine Mischung aus Kraft und Sensibilität zu schätzen wissen. Er braucht jemanden, der ihn sicher durch den Alltag führt und seine feine Wahrnehmung versteht. Ismael ist bereit, sein Köfferchen zu packen und sein großes Herz zu verschenken. Er ist ein treuer Begleiter für Menschen, die einen ehrlichen und lebensfrohen Hund suchen. Wer schenkt diesem besonderen Senior den sicheren Hafen für seine goldenen Jahre? © Fotos: Steffis Fotounikate – Hundefotografie () Senden Sie uns bei konkretem Interesse an einem unserer Tiere eine E-Mail mit der vollständig ausgefüllten Interessentenvoranfrage an oder kontaktieren Sie uns bei Fragen über unser Kontaktformular.

About Ismael

What life with Ismael looks like

Ismael is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Oelzschau in Oelzschau.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ismael, answered.

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