Patch – bleibt beim Besitzer

Mixed Breed · Male

Home sought for our gentle giant Patch 🐾 The large, stately, and gentle male dog Patch is sadly searching for a new home. Unfortunately, he can no longer stay with his current family due to recurring conflicts with the existing only dog. Important to know: The aggression comes from the only dog – Patch himself is basically compatible with fellow animals. Despite his imposing appearance, Patch is an insecure, sensitive young male dog – a true giant baby that needs understanding people. People who give him time to settle in, provide him with security, and show him love but also clear boundaries on how life works are needed. Once Patch has built trust, he shows himself to be very affectionate, cuddly, and clingy within his family. His people mean everything to him – but he must be allowed to get to know them in peace. As he is still young, education and relationship building are just beginning. We therefore wish for people with dog experience or the willingness to grow together with him. Attending dog training classes is explicitly recommended to explain the world to him with positive guidance. Outside with other dogs, Patch is generally compatible, though sometimes reserved – here too: with calmness, patience, and time, he can develop well. – a quiet, stable environment – people with patience and clear, loving guidance – A sovereign female dog in the household would be great, but is not a must – time, trust, and relationship work – a heart the size of a giant – loyalty, if you earn it – a lot of potential for a close, special bond Who gives this gentle giant the chance to settle in at his own pace and finally settle in? 🐶❤️ More pictures to follow…

Zuhause gesucht für unseren sanften Riesen Patch 🐾 Der große, stattliche und sanfte Rüde Patch sucht schweren Herzens ein neues Zuhause. Leider kann er nicht in seiner aktuellen Familie bleiben, da es immer wieder zu Rangeleien mit dem bereits vorhandenen Ersthund kommt. Wichtig zu wissen: Die Aggression geht eindeutig vom Ersthund aus – Patch selbst ist grundsätzlich mit Artgenossen verträglich. Trotz seiner imposanten Erscheinung ist Patch ein unsicherer, sensibler junger Rüde – ein richtiges Riesenbaby, das verständnisvolle Menschen braucht. Menschen, die ihm Zeit zum Ankommen geben, ihm Sicherheit vermitteln und ihm liebevoll, aber klar zeigen, wie das Leben funktioniert. Hat Patch erst einmal Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er sich sehr liebevoll, verschmust und anhänglich innerhalb seiner Familie. Seine Menschen bedeuten ihm alles – aber er muss sie in Ruhe kennenlernen dürfen. Da er noch jung ist, steht Erziehung und Beziehungsaufbau noch ganz am Anfang. Wir wünschen uns daher Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung oder der Bereitschaft, gemeinsam mit ihm zu wachsen. Der Besuch einer Hundeschule wird ausdrücklich empfohlen, um ihm mit positiver Anleitung die Welt zu erklären. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Patch draußen grundsätzlich verträglich, wenn auch manchmal zurückhaltend – auch hier gilt: mit Ruhe, Geduld und Zeit kann er sich gut entwickeln. – ein ruhiges, stabiles Umfeld – Menschen mit Geduld und klarer, liebevoller Führung – Eine souveräne Hündin im Haushalt wäre toll, ist aber kein Muss – Zeit, Vertrauen und Beziehungsarbeit – ein riesengroßes Herz – Treue, wenn man sie sich verdient hat – ganz viel Potenzial für eine enge, besondere Bindung Wer gibt diesem sanften Riesen die Chance, in seinem Tempo anzukommen und endlich anzukommen? 🐶❤️ Weitere Bilder folgen…

About Patch – bleibt beim Besitzer

What life with Patch – bleibt beim Besitzer looks like

Patch – bleibt beim Besitzer is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

An 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. 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 Patch – bleibt beim Besitzer, answered.

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