adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Paddington may stay in his foster home! His story: Paddington is a ca. 1.5-year-old mixed-breed male dog with a shoulder height of about 50 cm. With his fluffy, dense fur that shines in black and warm light brown, adorned with a small white patch, he immediately reminds one of a little teddy bear. His soft brown eyes look attentively and curiously into the world, sometimes still cautiously but full of hope. After his time in the kennel in Romania, he was allowed to move to his foster home in 26810 Westoverledingen. There, he shows how much he values the closeness to humans. Snuggling is the greatest for him – he loves to lie near his humans and enjoy cuddles. At first, he is a bit reserved when visited, but soon he warms up, comes out to be stroked, and even gets treats. His foster-only dog was a great help in the adjustment: He showed Paddington how wonderful life in the house and garden is, how to go for walks, and that strangers and other dogs are not something to be afraid of. A confident canine companion by his side would therefore be a dream for Paddington and would continue to give him security. Typical for a young pup, he tries out and sometimes takes things that are not meant for him – with a ball or a toy, however, he can be easily persuaded to trade. He already handles car rides well, and outside, he behaves respectfully towards cats – chasing after them is not his thing. Paddington is a lovable, sensitive young pup who would best be placed in a quiet, rural environment. A home with a house, garden, and a confident only dog would be very helpful for him. He can handle bigger kids as long as it’s not too hectic – too much chaos overloads him. We wish for Paddington patient and dog-experienced people who will give him time to build trust. Once he settles in, he will not only bewitch with his beautiful appearance but also with the intelligence and learning enthusiasm of a herding dog mix. Additionally, he could become a vigilant companion closely bound to his family. Whoever meets Paddington will quickly realize: Behind the initial caution lies an incredibly gentle, well-mannered young pup, eagerly waiting to give his heart completely. Paddington travels neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and treated for fleas. He will be shipped after a positive match. We thank Talina R.! You have given Paddington his name and thus a personal identity. As of: 14.09. Suitable only for households with older children. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Paddington darf in seiner Pflegestelle bleiben! Seine Geschichte: Paddington ist ein ca. 1,5 Jahre alter Mischlingsrüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 50 cm. Mit seinem wuscheligen, dichtem Fell, das in Schwarz und warmem Hellbraun leuchtet und von einem kleinen weißen Lätzchen geziert wird, erinnert er sofort an einen kleinen Teddybären. Seine sanften braunen Augen blicken aufmerksam und neugierig in die Welt, manchmal noch vorsichtig, doch voller Hoffnung. Nach seiner Zeit im Zwinger in Rumänien durfte er in seine Pflegestelle nach 26810 Westoverledingen ziehen. Dort zeigt er, wie sehr er die Nähe zu Menschen schätzt. Kuscheln ist für ihn das Größte – am liebsten liegt er in der Nähe seiner Menschen und genießt Streicheleinheiten. Anfangs ist er bei Besuch noch etwas zurückhaltend, doch schon bald taut er auf, kommt von sich aus zum Streicheln und holt sich Leckerchen ab. Sein Pflege-Ersthund war eine große Hilfe bei der Eingewöhnung: Er zeigte Paddington, wie schön das Leben im Haus und Garten ist, wie man Gassi geht und dass fremde Menschen und Hunde nichts Schlimmes bedeuten. Ein souveräner Hundekumpel an seiner Seite wäre für Paddington daher ein Traum und würde ihm weiterhin Sicherheit geben. Typisch Junghund probiert er sich aus und stibitzt schon mal Dinge, die nicht für ihn gedacht sind – mit einem Ball oder Kauseil lässt er sich aber problemlos zum Tauschen überreden. Autofahren klappt bereits, und draußen verhält er sich Katzen gegenüber respektvoll – ein Hinterherjagen ist nicht sein Ding. Paddington ist ein liebenswerter, sensibler junger Hund, der in einer ruhigen, ländlichen Umgebung am besten aufgehoben wäre. Ein Zuhause mit Haus, Garten und einem souveränen Ersthund würde ihm sehr helfen. Größere Kinder kann er sich gut an seiner Seite vorstellen, solange es nicht zu hektisch zugeht – zu viel Trubel überfordert ihn noch. Wir wünschen uns für Paddington geduldige und hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen. Hat er sich einmal eingelebt, wird er nicht nur mit seinem wunderschönen Äußeren bezaubern, sondern auch mit der Intelligenz und Lernfreude eines Hütehund-Mischlings. Zudem könnte er ein wachsamer Begleiter werden, der eng an seine Familie gebunden ist. Wer Paddington kennenlernt, wird schnell merken: Hinter der anfänglichen Vorsicht steckt ein unglaublich sanfter, verschmuster junger Hund, der nur darauf wartet, sein Herz ganz zu verschenken. Paddington reist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und entfloht. Er wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro und mit gültigem EU-Heimtierausweis vermittelt. Wir danken Talina R.! Du hast Paddington seinen Namen und damit eine eigene Identität geschenkt. Stand: 14.09.2025

About Paddington

What life with Paddington looks like

Paddington is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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. 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 Paddington, answered.

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