Adopt Maverick/ nicht im Tierheim

Mixed Breed · Male

If interested, please contact us directly: Maverick is a 3-year-old male German Shepherd who came to our dog center from poor husbandry conditions. Due to his previous husbandry, Maverick has catching up to do regarding environmental awareness and social behavior toward both people and dogs. Physically, the male dog is currently being rehabilitated by us, and appropriate feeding must be maintained. With people he knows and who possess the necessary expertise, Maverick can be handled and led safely. In everyday life at the boarding facility, he shows himself friendly and open toward his trusted people, although he requires supervision around food and when being manipulated. He is initially skeptical toward strangers and needs time to build trust. So far, Maverick has shown limited to severely restricted compatibility with other dogs. Smaller dogs or other small animals should not live in the household, and there should be no children in his future home either. We are looking for competent people who will continue working with him on his issues and provide both challenge and support. This young male dog needs a stable foundation and clear structure—two things he has never experienced before. Beyond basic obedience training, Maverick should be engaged in age- and species-appropriate activities, though he is not suited for high-performance sports. Scent work, cycling, or jogging would be excellent activities we could very well imagine for this young dog. Maverick has potential and deserves new owners who give this young male dog a fresh start into the right life.

Bei Interesse bitte direkt wenden an: Maverick ist ein 3-jähriger Schäferhund Rüde, der aus schlechter Haltung zu uns ins Hundezentrum kam. Aufgrund seiner bisherigen Haltung hat Maverick in Sachen Umwelt sowie Sozialverhalten gegenüber Menschen und Hunden Nachholbedarf. Körperlich wird der Rüde aktuell von uns aufgebaut, auf entspreche Fütterung sollte geachtet werden. Maverick ist von ihm bekannten Menschen mit entsprechendem Fachwissen sicher führbar und händelbar. Auch im Alltag in der Pension zeigt er sich seinen Bezugspersonen gegenüber freundlich und offen, wobei man bei Manipulation und Futter ein Auge auf ihn haben muss. Fremden Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich zunächst skeptisch und benötigt Zeit, bis er Vertrauen gefasst hat. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Maverick bisher bedingt bis stark eingeschränkt verträglich. Kleinere Hunde oder andere kleine Tiere sollten nicht im Haushalt wohnen. Auch Kinder sollten im zukünftigen Zuhause keine wohnen. Für Maverick suchen wir kompetente Menschen, die mit ihm weiter an seinen Themen arbeiten und ihn dabei fordern und fördern. Der junge Rüde benötigt eine stabile Basis und einen klaren Rahmen, beides Dinge, die er bisher nicht erleben durfte. Auch sollte Maverick über das erzieherische Training hinaus alters- und artgerecht beschäftigt werden, wobei er für den Hochleistungssport nicht geeignet ist. Nasenarbeit, Fahrradfahren oder Joggen könnten wir uns bei diesem jungen Hund sehr gut vorstellen. Maverick hat Potenzial und hat es sich verdient, dass seine neuen Menschen diesem jungen Rüden einen Neustart in das richtige Leben schenken.

About Maverick/ nicht im Tierheim

What life with Maverick/ nicht im Tierheim looks like

Maverick/ nicht im Tierheim is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Hattersheim und Umgebung e.V. in Hattersheim am Main.

An 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 Maverick/ nicht im Tierheim, answered.

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