How do I contact the shelter about Merlin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Merlin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Merlin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart 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 Merlin 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 Merlin 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 Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Merlin 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.

Adopt Merlin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

over: 🍀 Other Dogs: by Sympathie (Einzelprinz) Other Animals: rather no Kids: no Dog Experience: helpful Problems: needs guidance Specials: loves training, very smart, can be alone Hello, my name is Merlin. I am a really smart boy and I think people are great. Training with my trusted people makes me very happy, and if you lead me well, I listen to every word. Still, I need people with dog experience in my new home, because when it gets stressful, especially with other dogs, I sometimes lose control and bite. My new people should be able to read me well, lead me confidently, and set clear boundaries. I should wear a muzzle outside, but that doesn't bother me at all, and I can put it on without any problems. Kids should not live in my new home. Do you want to help and lead me? Then write a mail right away and tell me how I would live with you and what dog experience you already have.

vorbei: 🍀 Andere Hunde: nach Sympathie (Einzelprinz) Andere Tiere: eher nein Kinder: nein Hundeerfahrung: sinnvoll Probleme: braucht Führung Besonderheiten: liebt Training, sehr schlau, kann alleine bleiben Hallo, mein Name ist Merlin. Ich bin ein richtig schlaues Kerlchen und Menschen finde ich auch super. Training mit meinen Bezugspersonen macht mir viel Spaß und wenn ihr mich richtig führt, höre ich auf jedes Wort. Trotzdem brauche ich in meinem neuen Zuhause Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, denn wenn es mal stressig wird, besonders mit anderen Hunden, verliere ich manchmal die Kontrolle und beiße auch mal zu. Meine neuen Menschen sollten mich deshalb gut lesen können, mich souverän führen und mir klare Grenzen setzen. Draußen sollte ich einen Maulkorb tragen, das stört mich aber gar nicht und selbst das Aufziehen mache ich total problemfrei. Kinder sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause nicht leben. Ihr wollt mir helfen und mich führen? Dann schreibt doch gleich eine Mail an und erzählt darin, wie ich bei euch wohnen würde und welche Erfahrungen ihr bereits mit Hunden gesammelt habt.

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.
