Adopt Perri

Female · Adult · 6 years

over: 🍀 Other dogs: by sympathy (Single princess) Other animals: no preference Children: no Dog experience: breed expert Problems: needs leadership, unsure with strangers Specials: loves trick training and hide-and-seek, can be alone Hello, my name is Perri. My people have given me up here because they weren't quite up to the task, so I'm now looking for a new home. I definitely need people with dog experience who can read me well and know how to lead me. If you give me too much freedom, I'll handle some things for you. This means strangers shouldn't come near you, and I decide who enters our home from now on. I love working closely with my person, and I'd be happy to contribute, also mastering some great tricks that you could continue to build on. You should continue to challenge me to keep me properly stimulated, because I'm definitely not a couch potato, although quiet days can be nice too. Although I get along well with other dogs by sympathy, I'd rather be a single princess. I've had negative experiences with children, seeing them more as livestock to herd around. You wouldn't lose your children, but they wouldn't find it as amusing as I would. I've learned to be alone with my old family, so it should work well with you too! Of course, I'm house-trained and I can also wear a muzzle really well. If you want to help and lead me, then write me a mail right away and tell me how I would live with you and what dog experiences you already have. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

vorbei: 🍀 Andere Hunde: nach Sympathie (Einzelprinzessin) Andere Tiere: eher nein Kinder: nein Hundeerfahrung: Rassekenner Probleme: braucht Führung, unsicher mit Fremden Besonderheiten: liebt tricksen und Suchspiele, kann alleine bleiben Hallo, mein Name ist Perri. Meine Menschen haben mich hier abgegeben, da sie der Aufgabe doch nicht ganz gewachsen waren, deswegen suche ich jetzt ein neues Zuhause. Ich brauche definitiv Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die mich gut lesen können und wissen, wie man mich führt. Wenn ihr mir zu viel Freiraum lasst, werde ich für euch manche Dinge regeln. Das bedeutet Fremde dürfen nicht mehr an euch ran und ich entscheide, wer unsere Wohnung ab sofort betritt. Ich liebe es eng mit meinem Menschen zusammen zu arbeiten, gerne apportiere ich mit euch, auch beherrsche ich einige großartige Tricks, die man sicher noch ausbauen kann. Dies solltet ihr auch weiterhin mit mir machen, damit ich richtig ausgelastet bin, denn ich bin definitiv keine Couchpotato, wobei auch ruhige Tage mal toll sein können. Obwohl ich mit anderen Hunden nach Sympathie gut klarkomme, wäre ich lieber eine Einzelprinzessin. Mit Kindern habe ich negative Erfahrungen gemacht, diese sehe ich eher als Vieh, welches ich durch die Gegend treiben kann. Ihr würdet zwar eure Kinder nie verlieren, aber eure Kinder fänden das bestimmt nicht so lustig wie ich. Das allein bleiben habe ich bei meiner alten Familie gelernt, also sollte das bei euch auch gut funktionieren! Ich bin natürlich stubenrein und den Maulkorb lass ich mir auch super anziehen. Ihr wollt mir helfen und mich führen? Dann schreibt doch gleich eine Mail an und erzählt darin, wie ich bei euch wohnen würde und welche Erfahrungen ihr bereits mit Hunden gesammelt habt.

About Perri

What life with Perri looks like

Perri is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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 Perri, answered.

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