Marc

Labrador Retriever · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Name: Marc Born: 02/2024 Gender: Male Breed: Labrador Mix Height: 50 cm Location: Animal Shelter in Castellbisbal June 2026 – Several months ago, a man called us. His Labrador-mix female had given birth to eleven puppies. He was able to find homes for seven of them, but the remaining four had already grown into young dogs by then. The man asked us for help, and so the four lovely young dogs came to our animal shelter. Marc and his three siblings were picked up by us personally. The entire dog family used to live in a more rural setting, and there were also children living in the house. Here at the shelter, Marc has learned to walk on a leash. He greets all walkers in a friendly and open manner. At first, Marc is somewhat shy around strangers, but he quickly warms up to them. He’s cheerful, athletic, cuddly, and simply charming. He loves accompanying his people on walks, enjoys every bit of petting, and is thrilled about anything you do together with him. He also absolutely loves playing or swimming in the water. Marc is medium-sized, already neutered, and can live happily with both female and male dogs. How wonderful it would be if our Marc could soon find a loving family!

Marc Name: Marc Geboren: 02/2024 Geschlecht: Rüde Rasse: Labrador-Mix Größe: 50 cm Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Castellbisbal Juni 2026 – Vor einigen Monaten hat uns ein Mann angerufen. Seine Labrador-Mischlingshündin hatte elf Welpen bekommen. Sieben davon konnte er vermitteln, doch die übrigen vier waren inzwischen schon zu Junghunden herangewachsen. Der Mann bat uns um Hilfe, und so kamen die vier hübschen Junghunde zu uns ins Tierheim. Marc und seine drei Geschwister haben wir persönlich abgeholt. Die ganze Hundefamilie lebte eher ländlich, und im Haus lebten auch Kinder. Bei uns hat Marc gelernt, an der Leine zu laufen. Er begegnet allen Spaziergängern freundlich und offen. Vom Wesen her ist Marc anfangs fremden Menschen gegenüber etwas schüchtern, taut aber schnell auf. Er ist fröhlich, sportlich, verschmust und einfach charmant. Er begleitet seine Menschen gerne bei Spaziergängen, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und freut sich über alles, was man mit ihm unternimmt. Auch das Spielen oder Schwimmen im Wasser macht ihm riesigen Spaß . Marc ist mittelgroß, bereits kastriert und kann sowohl mit Hündinnen als auch mit Rüden zusammenleben. Wie schön wäre es, wenn unser Marc bald eine liebevolle Familie finden würde!

About Marc

What life with Marc looks like

Marc is a puppy/kitten labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzengel Nordhorn 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. 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 Marc, answered.

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