Mister Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Long waiting for a bit of luck...... A few days ago, Mister Buddy was taken in by us. His fate touched us deeply. He is about 11 years old, a very peaceful, nice senior who walks nicely on a leash, can be left alone and loves people. Also other animals and cats do not bother him. Mister Buddy is currently too thin, as in our opinion he did not get enough food. The brave male dog was acquired two years ago and now came into our care because he had to wait 11 to 12 hours locked up in his home until someone had time for him again. Thank God, his owners became reasonable and brought him to us. He is now living with a foster family and is looking for a particularly good home. Who has a heart for our lovely senior and gives him more beautiful years - a little heaven on earth.....?

Langes Warten auf ein bisschen Glück…….. Vor ein paar Tagen wurde Mister Buddy von uns aufgenommen. Sein Schicksal hat uns sehr berührt. Er ist gut 11 Jahre alt, ein ganz friedlicher, netter Senior, der schön an der Leine läuft, alleine bleiben kann und den Menschen liebt. Auch Artgenossen und Katzen bereiten ihm keine Probleme. Mister Buddy ist aktuell viel zu dünn, da er unserer Meinung nach nicht genügend Futter bekommen hat. Der brave Rüde wurde vor 2 Jahren angeschafft und kam nun in unsere Obhut, weil er in seinem Zuhause 11 bis 12 Stunden eingesperrt warten musste, bis man mal wieder etwas Zeit für ihn hatte. Gott sei Dank wurden seine Besitzer vernünftig und haben ihn zu uns gebracht. Er wohnt nun bei einer Pflegefamilie und sucht ein besonders gutes Zuhause. Wer hat ein Herz für unseren liebenswerten Senior und schenkt ihm noch schöne Jahre – ein wenig Himmel auf Erden…..?

About Mister Buddy

What life with Mister Buddy looks like

Mister Buddy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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. 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 Mister Buddy, answered.

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