Randy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Randy, born in early 2021 according to his papers but estimated to be somewhat older, stands about 45 cm tall and is a friendly, calm male dog who is looking for his forever home! 🌿 His Personality: Randy is a quiet, gentle dog who enjoys short walks and the closeness of his pack. He walks well on the leash and likes to move at his own pace. After his time in the shelter, he first had to learn to trust people again. He needs a little time to warm up, but once he feels safe, he happily lets himself be petted and shows his tender, loving side. 🩺 Health: Due to the long time in the shelter, with lots of concrete floors and little movement, Randy has developed a weakness in his left front leg. He is well managed with medication and copes well with everyday life. He doesn't need long hikes, but above all rest, routine, and a soft place to lie down. 🏡 His Ideal Home: Randy would also be a wonderful companion for seniors or first-time dog owners, as he is uncomplicated, content with little, and has no sporting ambitions. For him, we wish for a quiet, ground-floor home with a garden where he can settle in and relax. Another friendly dog would be a nice guide for him, but it is not a must. Most important are loving people who give him time to build trust and give him a gentle golden age. Randy is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, and will be placed with a protection contract following a positive pre-adoption check.

Randy, geboren laut Pass Anfang 2021 - wird aber etwas älter eingeschätzt - ist ca. 45 cm groß und freundlicher und ruhiger Hundemann, der auf der Suche nach seinem Für-Immer-Zuhause ist! 🌿 Sein WesenRandy ist ein ruhiger, sanfter Hund, der kleine Spaziergänge und die Nähe seines Rudels genießt. Er läuft gut an der Leine und bewegt sich gern in seinem eigenen Tempo. Menschen musste er nach seiner Zeit im Shelter erst wieder vertrauen lernen – er braucht ein wenig Zeit, um aufzutauen, doch wenn er sich sicher fühlt, lässt er sich gern streicheln und zeigt seine zarte, liebevolle Seite.🩺 GesundheitDurch die lange Zeit im Shelter – viel Betonboden, wenig Bewegung – hat Randy eine Schwäche im linken Vorderbein entwickelt. Er ist medikamentös gut eingestellt und kommt damit im Alltag gut zurecht. Er braucht keine langen Wanderungen, sondern vor allem Ruhe, Routine und ein weiches Plätzchen.🏡 Sein WunschzuhauseRandy wäre auch ein wunderbarer Begleiter für Senioren oder Hundeanfänger, denn er ist unkompliziert, genügsam und braucht keine sportlichen Ambitionen. Für ihn wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, ebenerdiges Zuhause mit Garten, in dem er entspannt ankommen darf. Ein weiterer freundlicher Hund wäre für ihn eine schöne Orientierung, ist aber kein Muss. Wichtig sind liebevolle Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen, und ihm einen sanften Lebensabend schenken.Randy ist geimpft, gechippt und kastriert und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Randy

What life with Randy looks like

Randy is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Randy, answered.

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