Marlo

Golden Retriever · Male · Senior · 9 years

Marlo unser Goldschatz sucht sein neues Glück! Auch Marlo musste sein Zuhause verlassen, weil es seinem Halter nicht mehr möglich war sich ausreichend um ihn zu kümmern. In typischer Goldie-Manier hat er dies gefasst aufgenommen und begegnet Allem und Jedem freundlich. Als wäre das Leben ein großes Abenteuer. Mit Menschen und Artgenossen zeigt sich Marlo sehr freundlich, situativ etwas stürmisch aber umwerfende Freude muss halt geteilt werden. Marlo ist durchaus in der Lage ein paar Stunden alleine zu bleiben, zu lange sollte es allerdings nicht sein. Lange Spaziergänge vertragen seine Knochen auch nicht mehr, hierzu stehen noch weitere Untersuchungen aus.

About Marlo

What life with Marlo looks like

Marlo is a large senior golden retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Lübeck in Lübeck.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Marlo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marlo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübeck handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marlo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marlo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübeck 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Marlo 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 Marlo 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 Lübeck early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marlo 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.
