Meduza

English Bulldog · Female

Birthdate: circa 2020 Gender: female neutered Breed: American Bulldog-Mix Size/Weight: over 50 cm, 40 kg Specials: §10 Dog Meduza came to us via the municipal authority as the previous owners did not meet the required conditions. Breed-specifically, she falls under §10 of the Landeshundegesetz NRW, so some requirements must be met. She is very friendly towards people. However, her compatibility with other fellow animals depends on their liking. Meduza would therefore be happy to be an singleton in her new home. Children must already be older and stable, as they could be affected by her exuberant nature. Future owners must be able to provide the necessary strength to handle her, as she is a well-built package.

Geburtsdatum: ca. 2020 Geschlecht: weiblich kastriert Rasse: American Bulldog-Mix Größe/ Gewicht: über 50 cm, 40kg Besonderheiten: §10 Hund Meduza kam über das Ordnungsamt zu uns, da die ehemaligen Besitzer die erforderlichen Anforderungen nicht erfüllten. Rassebedingt fällt sie unter §10 des Landeshundegesetz NRW, weshalb einige Auflagen erfüllt werden müssen. Gegenüber Menschen ist sie sehr freundlich. Bei anderen Artgenossen entscheidet allerdings die Sympathie. Meduza wäre in ihrem neuen Zuhause deshalb gerne eine Einzelhündin. Kinder müssen schon älter und standfest sein, da sie sonst bei ihrer ausgelassenen Art in Mitleidenschaft gezogen werden könnten. Zukünftige Halter müssen die nötige Kraft aufbringen können sie zu halten denn sie ist ein ordentliches Kraftpaket.

About Meduza

What life with Meduza looks like

Meduza is an adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim und Tierschutz Recklinghausen e.V. in Recklinghausen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Meduza, answered.

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