Lenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Lenny is an 11-month-old German Shepherd-Rottweiler mix who currently lives with two other male dogs. Unfortunately, there have been increasing conflicts between the dogs recently, which is why Lenny is now looking for a new, suitable home. Lenny is a young, strong and eager-to-learn dog who is still in the middle of his development. He brings a lot of energy, curiosity and potential, but he needs clear guidance and people who have experience handling larger and strong-willed dogs. In the right hands, he can develop into a great companion. Therefore, we are looking for an experienced dog home where the people are willing to continue working consistently with him and provide him with the necessary structure and security. Ideally, the household should not have any other male dogs, so that he can relax and focus on his primary caregiver(s). Lenny needs people with patience, understanding, and enjoyment in training him and keeping him both physically and mentally challenged. Then he has the best chance to develop into a loyal and reliable partner. Anyone who would like to give Lenny a fresh start and offer him a suitable home is welcome to contact us.

DE·Show original

Lenny ist ein 11 Monate alter Schäferhund-Rottweiler-Mix, der aktuell mit zwei anderen Rüden zusammenlebt. Leider kam es in letzter Zeit immer häufiger zu Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Hunden, weshalb für Lenny nun ein neues, passendes Zuhause gesucht wird. Lenny ist ein junger, kräftiger und lernwilliger Hund, der noch mitten in seiner Entwicklung steckt. Er bringt viel Energie, Neugier und Potenzial mit, braucht aber klare Führung und Menschen, die Erfahrung im Umgang mit größeren und charakterstarken Hunden haben. In den richtigen Händen kann er sich zu einem tollen Begleiter entwickeln. Für Lenny wünschen wir uns daher ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, in dem man bereit ist, weiterhin konsequent mit ihm zu arbeiten und ihm die nötige Struktur und Sicherheit zu geben. Ideal wäre ein Haushalt ohne weitere Rüden, damit er zur Ruhe kommen und sich auf seine Bezugsperson(en) konzentrieren kann. Lenny braucht Menschen mit Geduld, Verständnis und Freude daran, mit ihm zu trainieren und ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig auszulasten. Dann hat er beste Chancen, sich zu einem loyalen und verlässlichen Partner zu entwickeln. Wer Lenny die Chance auf einen Neustart geben möchte und ihm ein passendes Zuhause bieten kann, darf sich gerne melden.

About Lenny

What life with Lenny looks like

Lenny is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Arche Noah Tierschutz Westerwald e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Lenny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lenny?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Arche Noah Tierschutz Westerwald e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lenny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lenny 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 Arche Noah Tierschutz Westerwald e.V. whether they will for Lenny, 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 Lenny already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Lenny. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Arche Noah Tierschutz Westerwald 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 Lenny isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Arche Noah Tierschutz Westerwald 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 Lenny 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.
