Adopt Percy

German Shepherd · Male · Senior · 12 years

Breed: German Shepherd Age: Born: 20.09.2022 Specialties: incompatible with cats Percy is with us because his owner passed away. He came from a run-in-yard breeding facility, but shows no signs of run-in-yard behavior. He is loving and approachable, though he is at the beginning of his training and is working on executing commands more reliably. Due to his past, he hasn't had much experience and is looking forward to discovering new things with his people. Since Percy has not yet had any experiences with smaller children, we are only placing him with families with children aged 12 years and older. Percy has an ancestry chart and a breed authenticity certificate.

Rasse: Deutscher Schäferhund Alter: geb.: 20.09.2022 Besonderheiten: unverträglich mit Katzen Percy ist bei uns, weil sein Besitzer verstorben ist. Er kommt aus einer Zwinger-Gartenhaltung, zeigt aber keine Auffälligkeiten (Zwingerkoller). Er ist lieb und zugänglich, allerdings steht er am Anfang seines Trainings und arbeitet daran, Kommandos zuverlässiger auszuführen. Durch seine Vergangenheit durfte er noch nicht viel kennenlernen und freut sich darauf, gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen Neues zu entdecken. Da Percy bislang keine Erfahrungen mit kleineren Kindern gemacht hat, vermitteln wir in ausschließlich an Familien mit Kindern ab 12 Jahren. Percy hat eine Ahnentafel und ein Rasse-Echtheitszertifikat.

About Percy

What life with Percy looks like

Percy is a small senior german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Duderstadt, Tierschutzverein Duderstadt u.U.e.V. in Duderstadt.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Percy, answered.

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