Pflegehund Moritz

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

In Germany since: November 2021 At foster home in: 41749 Viersen Estimated age: born around 2021 Estimated shoulder height: about 43 cm Meet Moritz directly in this video! How much longer does Moritz have to wait? Meet him in 41749 Viersen! Moritz is not just a fighter but also a true character with a heart of gold! The male dog is alert, lively, and eager to learn, yet unfortunately, finding a forever home has not been easy for him. Currently living at a foster home in 41749 Viersen, this approximately 4.5-year-old herd protection dog mix yearns for his forever home more than anything. Once he trusts you, Moritz shows what an amazing companion he can be: He enjoys closeness, loves cuddle times together, and forms a strong bond with his primary caregiver. He’s not only charming but also quite smart – he already knows basic signals, and with the right motivation (a small hint: meat sausage), he works enthusiastically. When the sweet little rascal is happy, his entire hindquarters waggle, not just his tail! Additionally, he has a special talent: A little mail carrier seems to have gone missing in him, as he always carries packages from the post office back home. This roughly 24 kg heavy and around 43 cm tall male dog needs a stable environment because unknown noises, visitors, or strangers still unsettle him. Clear structures, calm leadership, and reliability provide him with stability and security. For him, the muzzle is not a problem but rather a familiar aid. We are looking for very experienced, patient people with knowledge in handling HSH for Moritz. It's important that his signals are read and respected, and that he is positively encouraged, ideally alongside a trainer. A quiet, rural home with a garden would be perfect. Being an only dog is possible if he receives sympathy, but children and cats should not live in the household. Moritz has waited long enough. He deserves finally to have a place where he can stay – without fear, without having to say goodbye again. Would you like to be that person for him? Already smitten? Send us a self-disclosure form! Adoption If you're thinking about adopting, first read through the adoption process. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas, and neutered before travel arrangements (the exception being puppies up to 6 months old and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any further questions, feel free to send our mediation team a message.

In Deutschland seit: November 2021 Auf Pflegestelle in: 41749 Viersen Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. 2021 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 43 cm Lerne hier Moritz direkt im Video kennen! Wie lange muss Moritz noch warten? Lerne ihn in 41749 Viersen kennen! Moritz ist nicht nur ein Kämpfer, sondern auch ein wahrer Charakterkopf mit einem Herz aus Gold! Der Rüde ist aufgeweckt, lebensfroh und lernwillig, doch leider will es mit einem Für-Immer-Zuhause einfach nicht klappen. Aktuell lebt der etwa 4,5 Jahre alte Herdenschutzhund-Mix auf einer Pflegestelle in 41749 Viersen und wünscht sich nichts sehnlicher als sein Für-immer-Zuhause. Hat man sein Vertrauen gewonnen, zeigt Moritz, was für ein wunderbarer Gefährte in ihm steckt: Er genießt Nähe, liebt gemeinsame Kuschelzeiten und bindet sich eng an seine Bezugsperson. Dabei ist er nicht nur charmant, sondern auch richtig schlau – Grundsignale kennt er bereits und mit der richtigen Motivation (kleiner Hinweis: Fleischwurst) arbeitet er begeistert mit. Wenn der süße Racker sich freut, wedelt nicht nur sein Schwanz, sondern gleich sein ganzes Hinterteil! Zudem hat er ein besonderes Talent: An ihm ist ein kleiner Paketbote verloren gegangen, denn er trägt die Päckchen von der Post immer nach Hause. Der etwa 24 kg schwere und rund 43 cm große Rüde braucht ein stabiles Umfeld, denn unbekannte Geräusche, Besuch oder fremde Menschen können ihn aktuell noch verunsichern. Klare Strukturen, ruhige Führung und Verlässlichkeit geben ihm Halt und Sicherheit. Der Maulkorb ist für ihn kein Problem, sondern ein vertrautes Hilfsmittel. Für Moritz suchen wir sehr erfahrene, geduldige Menschen, mit Kenntnissen im Umgang mit HSH. Wichtig ist, dass seine Signale gelesen und respektiert werden und dass er positiv, gerne auch gemeinsam mit einem Trainer, weiter gefördert wird. Ein ruhiges, ländliches Zuhause mit Garten wäre perfekt. Ein souveräner Ersthund ist nach Sympathie möglich, Kinder und Katzen sollten jedoch nicht im Haushalt leben. Moritz hat genug gewartet. Er verdient endlich einen Platz, an dem er bleiben darf – ohne Angst, ohne erneuten Abschied. Möchtest du dieser Mensch für ihn sein? 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 Moritz

What life with Pflegehund Moritz looks like

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

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 Pflegehund Moritz, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pflegehund Moritz?
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 Moritz on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pflegehund Moritz 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Pflegehund Moritz 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 Moritz 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 Moritz 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.
