Neptun

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Our colleagues discovered Neptun together with his six siblings in a field near the railway tracks, with no protection from the sun and no water or food. Without their intervention and help, the puppies would probably not have survived. In the meantime, the puppies have grown into wonderful young dogs. Neptun has developed into a very people-oriented and friendly male who enjoys being close to people and is very cuddly. Like all young dogs, he also needs training. Despite his first attempts on the leash, which certainly still have room for improvement but already look really good, it is clear that he is very eager to learn and oriented toward his person. Neptun needs guidance when he is to master new situations. He is smart and eager to learn, and also willing to trust. With a correct assessment of his needs, along with practice and patience, Neptun will surely become a really great companion. Attending a good dog training school is certainly helpful and brings fun for future owners as well as for Neptun. Experienced hands are recommended despite his willingness to learn. It is important to keep in mind that along with the fun, work and responsibility also come your way. A dog from abroad can turn everyday life upside down at first, until he has settled in. Would you like to work together with Neptun and become a good team? Then get in touch with us. After a positive preliminary check, Neptun may soon be vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, neutered and move into his new home with an EU pet passport for a protection fee of 495 euros.

Unsere Kollegen entdeckten Neptun mit seinen sechs Geschwistern auf einem Feld nahe den Bahngleisen ohne Schutz vor Sonne, ohne Wasser und Nahrung. Ohne das Eingreifen und die Hilfe hätten die Welpen wahrscheinlich nicht überlebt. Mittlerweile sind aus den Welpen tolle junge Hunde geworden. Neptun hat sich zu einem sehr menschenbezogenen und freundlichen Rüden entwickelt, der die Nähe zu Menschen genießt und sehr verschmust ist. Wie alle jungen Hunde benötigt auch er Erziehung. Trotz erster Versuche an der Leine, die sicherlich ausbaufähig sind, aber schon richtig gut aussehen, merkt man, dass er sehr lernwillig und an seinem Menschen orientiert ist. Neptun braucht Anleitung, wenn er neue Situationen meistern soll. Er ist schlau und lernwillig als auch bereit zu vertrauen. Durch die richtige Einschätzung seiner Bedürfnisse sowie Übung und Geduld, wird Neptun bestimmt ein richtig toller Begleiter. Der Besuch einer guten Hundeschule ist sicherlich hilfreich und bringt Spaß für die zukünftigen Besitzer sowie für Neptun. Erfahrene Hände sind trotz seiner Lernwilligkeit empfohlen. Es ist wichtig zu bedenken, dass neben dem Spaß auch Arbeit und Verantwortung auf einen zukommen. Ein Hund aus dem Ausland kann den Alltag erstmal auf den Kopf stellen, bis er sich eingelebt hat. Möchten Sie gemeinsam mit Neptun arbeiten und mit ihm ein gutes Team werden? Dann melden Sie sich bei uns. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Neptun schon bald geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht, kastriert und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Neptun

What life with Neptun looks like

Neptun is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Neptun, answered.

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