Monty 2

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Monty was rescued from abroad. He had and still has little desire for indoor living, people, and the rather strange rules of our Western life. He didn't want to be rescued - at least not that way. He has developed superbly with us. In our mixed-sex dog group, he still feels at home, watches attentively what's going on around him, and is very interested and cuddly - he's also great at barking at the fence. As an overseas dog, Monty had time to get used to our customs and traditions, which were initially foreign to him. He also learned the advantages of a collar and leash - because of course everyone defines freedom somewhat differently. With patience and training, Monty was able to experience that humans and dogs can live together very relaxed and without stress. His development is certainly not yet complete, but that's what makes a dog sometimes particularly exciting. For Monty, we wish for a home where he is met with the same sensitivity and sense of freedom that he brings himself - albeit adapted to a safe framework. This means: Monty must always be well secured and must not be let off the leash. A house or apartment with a well-fenced garden would be ideal, as well as at least one other dog by his side. If you're looking for a gentle and independent dog friend, please get in touch.

Monty wurde aus dem Ausland „gerettet“. Er hatte und hat keine große Lust auf Wohnungshaltung, Menschen und die eher seltsamen Regeln unseres westlichen Lebens. Er wollte nicht gerettet werden – zumindest nicht so. Bei uns hat er sich super weiterentwickelt. In unserer gemischt-geschlechtlichen Hundegruppe fühlt er sich nach wie vor wohl, beobachtet aufmerksam, was um ihn herum passiert, und ist sehr interessiert und verkuschelt – am Zaun pöbeln kann er auch super. Als Auslandshund bekam Monty Zeit, sich an unsere, für ihn zunächst fremden, Sitten und Bräuche zu gewöhnen. Dabei lernte er auch die Vorzüge von Halsband und Leine kennen – denn natürlich definiert jeder Freiheit ein Stück weit anders. Mit Geduld und Training durfte Monty erfahren, dass Mensch und Hund auch ganz entspannt und ohne Stress zusammenleben können. Ganz abgeschlossen ist seine Entwicklung sicher noch nicht, aber das ist sie ja nie – und genau das macht einen Hund manchmal auch besonders spannend. Für Monty wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem man ihm mit genauso viel Sensibilität und Freiheitsgefühl begegnet, wie er sie selbst mitbringt – allerdings angepasst an einen sicheren Rahmen. Das heißt: Monty muss immer gut gesichert sein und darf nicht von der Leine gelassen werden. Ein Haus oder eine Wohnung mit gut eingezäuntem Garten wäre ideal, ebenso mindestens ein weiterer Hund an seiner Seite. Wer Lust auf einen sanften und eigenständigen Hunde-Freund hat, darf sich gerne melden.

About Monty 2

What life with Monty 2 looks like

Monty 2 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Lübeck in Lübeck.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Monty 2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Monty 2?
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 Monty 2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Monty 2 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 Monty 2 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 Monty 2 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 Monty 2 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.
