How do I contact the shelter about Patrick?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Patrick on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Patrick if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Patrick 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 Patrick 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 Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Patrick 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.

Patrick

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Patrick - Courage, a bit of curiosity and the adventure can begin → Breed: Mix → Gender: Male → Born: 07/2025 → Size / Weight: 55 cm / 18 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Microchip: yes → Compatible with: Male and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown → Sponsorship possible: yes Description Patrick is black, elegant and quite clever - and he certainly knows how to make a good first impression. His shiny black coat with white spots makes him a real eye-catcher. But those who get to know him better quickly realize: behind this stylish facade is an attentive, curious fellow who wants to know exactly what's going on around him. Patrick looks, listens and likes to be in the middle of things. He finds people exciting, and joint activities even more so. He wants to experience, discover and not miss anything. A dog who will certainly bring life into the house. Unfortunately, his start was far from glamorous: Patrick was hit by a car and brought to the boarding house for recovery. There he is now safe - but he certainly shouldn't stay there. Patrick wants his own home and people who will start their lives with him. Because he knows little about family life so far. Leash training, house rules, everyday situations and all the little things that are a matter of course for a family dog still need to be practiced.

Patrick – Mut, ein bisschen Neugier und schon kann das Abenteuer beginnen → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 07/2025 → Grösse / Gewicht: 55 cm / 18 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Patrick ist schwarz, elegant und ziemlich pfiffig – und er weiß durchaus, wie man einen guten ersten Eindruck hinterlässt. Sein glänzendes schwarzes Fell mit den weißen Tupfern macht ihn zu einer echten Augenweide. Doch wer ihn näher kennenlernt, merkt schnell: Hinter dieser schicken Fassade steckt ein aufmerksamer, neugieriger Kerl, der ganz genau wissen möchte, was um ihn herum passiert. Patrick schaut hin, hört zu und ist gerne mittendrin. Menschen findet er spannend, gemeinsame Unternehmungen sowieso. Er möchte etwas erleben, entdecken und dabei möglichst nichts verpassen. Ein Hund also, der seinen Menschen sicher ordentlich Leben ins Haus bringen wird. Sein Start war leider alles andere als glamourös: Patrick wurde von einem Auto angefahren und zur Genesung in die Pension gebracht. Dort ist er nun in Sicherheit – aber dort soll er natürlich nicht bleiben. Patrick möchte endlich sein eigenes Zuhause und Menschen, die gemeinsam mit ihm ins Leben starten. Denn vom Familienalltag kennt er bisher wenig. Leinenführigkeit, Hausregeln, Alltagssituationen und all die kleinen Dinge, die für einen Familienhund selbstverständlich sind, müssen noch geübt werden. Dafür b

About Patrick

What life with Patrick looks like

Patrick is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
