Pflegehund Caleb

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Available in Germany since: October 2026 In foster care in: 10717 Berlin Estimated age: born approx. August 2024 Estimated shoulder height: approx. 52 cm Estimated weight: approx. 17 kg Get to know Caleb right here in the video! Caleb is full of joy and love. Come meet him in 10717 Berlin! This furry friend comes from a kill shelter in Romania, where Caleb stood out for his friendly nature despite the difficult circumstances. This handsome male, who is probably a Shar-Pei mix, had an inflamed eye but was always curious and kept coming to the bars to seek contact with people. Caleb has since been able to leave the Romanian animal shelter and travel to a German foster home. Here, day by day, he is discovering a whole new world and learning how wonderful life can be in a loving home. Caleb is friendly, curious, and very people-oriented. He especially loves building a cozy nest for himself, snuggling into it, and making himself really comfortable. He also explores his surroundings with great interest. Whether indoors in the apartment or out and about, Caleb is attentive and curious without losing his calm. He already takes most everyday noises, cars, and people passing by in stride. He remains responsive and orients himself well to his people. Caleb is eager to learn and open to discovering and learning new things. Caleb had entropion in his right eye, which has already been successfully corrected surgically. He is currently in the healing phase; the eyelid position is anatomically correct, and the risk of corneal damage is now significantly reduced. Special restrictions or long-term medication are not expected to be necessary. Our placement team knows best about his exact state of health. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message. We hope for Caleb a loving home with dog experience that does justice to his active and strong-willed nature and gives him time to settle in calmly. People who enjoy accompanying Caleb through life with patience, understanding, and security will find in him a wonderful companion. Cats should not live in his new home. Steady children and/or a confident canine companion are welcome to join the family. Whether city or countryside, Caleb can imagine both as his new home. We hope for this furry friend to be placed with people who understand that shelter dogs come with a certain history. We can never predict in the shelter how a dog will respond to life in Germany. That is why we are looking for people who bring patience, perseverance, and goodwill. But one thing is certain: whoever adopts rather than buys not only gives an animal a second chance, but actively chooses against animal suffering, and for a life with a very special companion by their side. Already smitten? Send us a self-disclosure form! Adoption If you are considering adopting, first read through the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and neutered before departure (exceptions are puppies under 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any further questions, feel free to write to our placement team.

In Deutschland seit: Oktober 2026 Auf Pflegestelle in: 10717 Berlin Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. August 2024 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 52 cm Geschätztes Gewicht: ca. 17 kg Lerne hier Caleb direkt im Video kennen! Caleb steckt voller Lebensfreude und Liebe - lerne ihn in 10717 Berlin kennen! Diese Fellnase kommt aus einer Tötungsstation in Rumänien, wo Caleb trotz der schwierigen Umstände durch seine freundliche Art auffiel. Der hübsche Rüde, bei dem es sich vermutlich um einen Shar-Pei-Mix handelt, hatte ein entzündetes Auge, zeigte sich jedoch stets neugierig und kam immer wieder ans Gitter, um Kontakt zu Menschen zu suchen. Inzwischen durfte Caleb das rumänische Tierheim hinter sich lassen und auf eine deutsche Pflegestelle reisen. Hier entdeckt er nun Tag für Tag eine ganz neue Welt und lernt, wie schön das Leben in einem liebevollen Zuhause sein kann. Caleb zeigt sich freundlich, neugierig und sehr menschenbezogen. Besonders liebt er es, sich ein gemütliches Nest zu bauen, sich hineinzukuscheln und es sich so richtig bequem zu machen. Auch seine Umgebung erkundet er mit großem Interesse. Ob drinnen in der Wohnung oder draußen unterwegs, Caleb ist aufmerksam und neugierig, ohne dabei die Ruhe zu verlieren. Die meisten Alltagsgeräusche, Autos und entgegenkommende Menschen nimmt er bereits ganz gelassen wahr. Dabei bleibt er ansprechbar und orientiert sich gut an seinen Menschen. Caleb zeigt sich lernwillig und offen, neue Dinge zu entdecken und dazuzulernen. Caleb hatte ein Entropium am rechten Auge, das bereits erfolgreich operativ korrigiert wurde. Er befindet sich aktuell in der Heilungsphase, die Lidstellung ist anatomisch korrekt, und das Risiko für Hornhautschäden ist nun deutlich reduziert. Besondere Einschränkungen oder dauerhafte Medikation sind voraussichtlich nicht erforderlich. Über den genauen Gesundheitszustand weiß unser Vermittlungsteam am besten Bescheid. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreib uns gern eine Nachricht . Für Caleb wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles, hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, das seiner aktiven und charakterstarken Art gerecht wird und ihm Zeit gibt, in Ruhe anzukommen. Menschen, die Freude daran haben, Caleb mit Geduld, Verständnis und Sicherheit durchs Leben zu begleiten, werden in ihm einen tollen Gefährten finden. Katzen sollten nicht in seinem neuen Zuhause leben. Standfeste Kinder und/oder ein souveräner Hundekumpel dürfen gerne zur Familie gehören. Ob Stadt oder Land, Caleb kann sich beides als neues Zuhause vorstellen. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Pflegehund Caleb

What life with Pflegehund Caleb looks like

Pflegehund Caleb is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pflegehund Caleb, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pflegehund Caleb?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hunderettung Europa e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pflegehund Caleb on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pflegehund Caleb if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hunderettung Europa 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pflegehund Caleb 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 Pflegehund Caleb 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 Hunderettung Europa e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pflegehund Caleb 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.
