adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Faithful eyes search for a loving home. Paddington is a 1.5-year-old friendly male dog, who immediately touches hearts with his gentle nature and loyal gaze. Currently, he still lives in the shelter and is waiting to finally be allowed into the arms of people who will give him security, love, and safety. Visually, Paddington is a real looker: His medium-length, fluffy fur is predominantly brown with black markings, especially on his face and along his back. His soft floppy ears, warm brown eyes, and attentive expression give him a very friendly and open appearance. In him, breeds like German Shepherd, Retriever, or also Collie mixes could be present – of course, that can't be determined precisely. It is not excluded that he also has some hunting dog genes. They require competent and reliable leadership and should be allowed to follow their drive through activities like fetch and retrieve, agility, or similar, to avoid underutilization and related problems. Positive dog training classes can certainly help with that. With a shoulder height of about 50 cm and a weight of 16–17 kg, Paddington belongs to the medium-sized dogs – a pleasant size for many life situations. He shows himself open and friendly to people and enjoys attention and affection. He also gets along well with other dogs and is even compatible with cats. Unfortunately, we know nothing about his past, but what counts is his readiness to finally arrive. How much he knows about life in a real home, we cannot say. But he will certainly learn all of that quickly: house training, leash walking, and basic commands. Paddington is looking for people who will give him time, guide him affectionately, and show him how wonderful a dog life can be. Walks, shared adventures, but also quiet cuddle hours – all that he wishes for his future. Is Paddington the right companion for you? He travels vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and neutered. For travel arrangements, he of course brings his EU pet passport. Even a foster home would be a wonderful first step in a new life for Paddington. Many thanks to Raffaela – you gave Paddington his name and thus the chance at a future full of love. As of: 14.01.

Paddington ist ein 1,5 Jahre alter freundlicher Rüde, der mit seinem sanften Wesen und seinem treuen Blick sofort die Herzen berührt. Aktuell lebt er noch im Shelter und wartet darauf, endlich bei Menschen ankommen zu dürfen, die ihm Sicherheit, Liebe und Geborgenheit schenken. Optisch ist Paddington ein echter Hingucker: Sein mittellanges, flauschiges Fell ist überwiegend braun mit schwarzen Abzeichen, besonders im Gesicht und entlang des Rückens. Seine weichen Schlappohren, die warmen braunen Augen und sein aufmerksamer Gesichtsausdruck verleihen ihm ein sehr freundliches und offenes Erscheinungsbild. In ihm könnten Rassen wie Schäferhund, Retriever oder auch Collie-Mischungen stecken – genau sagen lässt sich das natürlich nicht. Damit ist nicht auszuschließen, dass in ihm auch Hütehundgene stecken. Sie benötigen eine kompetente und verlässliche Führung und sollten ihrem Trieb durch Aktivitäten wie Treib- und Suchspiele, Agility oder Ähnliches nachkommen dürfen, um keine Unterforderung und damit verbundene Probleme hervorzurufen. Eine positiv arbeitende Hundeschule kann dabei sicher helfen. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 50 cm und einem Gewicht von 16–17 kg gehört Paddington zu den mittelgroßen Hunden – eine angenehme Größe für viele Lebenssituationen. Er zeigt sich Menschen gegenüber offen und freundlich und genießt Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung. Auch mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich problemlos, und selbst Katzen gegenüber ist er verträglich. Über seine Vergangenheit wissen wir leider nichts, doch was zählt, ist seine Bereitschaft, endlich anzukommen. Wie viel er vom Leben in einem richtigen Zuhause kennt, können wir nicht sagen. Doch das wird er mit Sicherheit alles schnell lernen können: Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit und Grundkommandos. Paddington sucht Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben, ihn liebevoll anleiten und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Abenteuer, aber auch ruhige Kuschelstunden – all das wünscht er sich für seine Zukunft. Ist Paddington der richtige Begleiter für dich? Er reist geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert aus. Bei Ausreise bringt er selbstverständlich seinen EU-Heimtierausweis mit. Nach einer positiven Vorkontrolle und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro darf er in sein neues Zuhause umziehen. Auch eine Pflegestelle wäre für Paddington ein wunderbarer erster Schritt in ein neues Leben. Vielen Dank an Raffaela – du hast Paddington seinen Namen und damit die Chance auf eine Zukunft voller Liebe gegeben. Stand: 14.01.2026

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.
