Can I adopt Mr. Dude – Dobermann mit Bart if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases.

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 Mr. Dude – Dobermann mit Bart 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mr. Dude – Dobermann mit Bart and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Mr. Dude – Dobermann mit Bart

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 17 years

Dobermann-Terrier Mix My name is Mister Dude. I am male, microchipped, vaccinated, and born in 2009. I have been waiting for a new home since 2017. I am approximately 60 cm tall. My caretakers say about me: Mister Dude came to us because he was classified as a danger dog after a hunt that ended fatally for the cat, and his owner was no longer able to meet the associated requirements due to health reasons. They have done everything in their power to keep Mister Dude with us and not in a large city animal shelter. So far, so good. Dude is an extremely popular resident, gets along wonderfully with other dogs regardless of gender, and runs quite calmly on the leash, with the exception of the start. When things get out of hand, he is often impatient and stormy, which is also commented on loudly. Once the initial excitement passes, he remains well manageable and obedient, but he needs consistent support and must internalize the proper behavior more, then it should be available without treats. He can also now be led past cats without any problems. Although Dude brings a pretty good character with a few small quirks and a humorous appearance, it just doesn't seem to work with an interested party. Even the many Christmas and New Year's Day photos, and the donation photos with and without a mask or silly glasses, are of no help—Dude is a danger dog in the wrong body. No staff, no pit, no bulli… of course, we have many wonderful danger dog enthusiasts. But most people who look for a dog like this in animal welfare are not searching for a classic terrier mix with a beard and bushy eyebrows… unfortunately… Time passes, and suddenly he feels like a senior, even though he feels like he’s not five. If one could express his temperament and power in numbers, he would be quite something. Mister Dude is looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, someone who is ready to meet all the requirements for him. Since Mister Dude now has some sponsors, support with cost management is not an issue, and a foster home is also possible. Who has an interest in taking care of Mister Dude’s beard and otherwise for him in the future?

Dobermann-Terrier Mix Mein Name ist Mister Dude. Ich bin männlich, gechipt, geimpft und 2009 geboren. Ich warte seit 2017 auf ein neues Zuhause. Ich bin circa 60 cm groß. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Mister Dude kam zu uns, weil er nach einer für die Katze tödlich endenden Jagd als Gefahrenhund eingestuft wurde und sein Halter aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht in der Lage war, die damit verbundenen Auflagen zu erfüllen. Er hat Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung gesetzt, um Mister Dude bei uns und nicht in einem großen städtischen Tierheim zu wissen. So weit so gut. Dude ist ein äußerst beliebter Bewohner, kommt wunderbar artgenossenunabhängig vom Geschlecht mit Hunden klar und läuft, bis auf den Start, recht manierlich an der Leine. Wenn es lost geht ist er oft ungehalten und unverschämt stürmisch, das wird auch gern lautstark kommentiert. Hat er die Chance, die erste Aufregung verstreichen zu lassen, bleibt er jedoch gut führbar und folgsam, er benötigt dabei aber konsequente Unterstützung und muss das gesittete Verhalten noch mehr verinnerlichen, dann sollte das zukünftig auch ohne Leckerliebezahlung abrufbar sein.Auch an Katzen kann man ihn inzwischen problemlos vorbei führen. Obwohl Dude einen ganz passablen Charakter mit ein paar kleinen Macken und eine witzige Optik mitbringt, will es nicht so recht klappen mit einem Interessenten. Da nützen auch die vielen Quatschbilder zu Weihnachten, zu Silvester, vor oder auf Spendenfotos mit und ohne Maske oder komischer Brille nix- Dude ist ein Auflagenhund im falschen Körper. Kein Staff, kein Pitt, kein Bulli….natürlich haben wir ganz viele tolle Gefahrenhundeadotanten. Aber die Meisten, die sich im Tierschutz nach so einem Hund umschauen, suchen nicht nach einer klassischen Terriermixvariante mit Bart und buschigen Augenbrauen…leider… So verrinnt die Zeit und schwupps ist er eigentlich ein Senior, gefühlt ist er keine fünf, könnte man Temperament und Power in Zahlen ausdrücken. Mister Dude sucht Mr. oder/ und Mrs. Right, irgendjemand, der für ihn bereit ist, alle erforderlichen Auflagen zu erfüllen.Da Mister Dude inzwischen einige Paten hat, ist Unterstützung bei der Kostenbewältigung kein Thema und auch eine Pflegestelle denkbar. Wer hat Interesse, zukünftig für die Bartpflege von Mister Dude und auch sonst für ihn zu sorgen?
