Adopt Linus

Male · Young · 3 years

The lovely terrier mix Linus has managed to make the jump from the Bulgarian animal shelter where he grew up to the foster home. There, he shows himself to be a cautious dog who needs time to get to know new people and unfamiliar things. At home, he is quiet and affectionate, already almost house-trained. The 3-year-old neutered male dog enjoys going for walks and walks well on a leash. He reacts with curiosity and openness towards other dogs. He currently lives with two other dogs in a loving foster home, where he learns something new every day. We hope for him a rural home as a second dog, where he can further overcome his insecurity, build a bond and trust with his human, and discover the terrier in himself. Understanding teenagers should not be a problem for him. Linus is about 40 cm tall and weighs about 12 kg. 🟢 Interested?

Der hübsche Terrier-Mix Linus hat den Sprung aus dem bulgarischen Tierheim in dem er aufwachsen musste auf die Pflegestelle geschafft. Dort zeigt er sich als vorsichtiger Hund, der seine Zeit braucht um neue Menschen und unbekannte Dinge kennenzulernen. Im Haus ist er ruhig und lieb, auch schon fast stubenrein. Der 3 Jahre alte, kastrierte Rüde geht gerne spazieren und läuft schon prima an der Leine. Anderen Hunden gegenüber reagiert er neugierig und offen. Er lebt aktuell mit zwei weiteren Hunden auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle, Wo er jeden Tag etwas dazulernt. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein ländliches zu Hause als Zweithund, wo er seine Unsicherheit weiter abbauen, Bindung und Vertrauen zu seinem Menschen aufbauen und den Terrier in sich entdecken darf. Verständige Kinder im Teenageralter sollten kein Problem für ihn darstellen. Linus ist ca 40 cm groß und wiegt ca. 12 kg. 🟢 Interesse? Bitte fülle unsere Selbstauskunft aus:

About Linus

What life with Linus looks like

Linus is a young adult dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming 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 Linus, answered.

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