Richard

Mixed Breed · Female

Richard is rather uncertain to fearful. He is not house trained and walking on a leash can still be improved. He gets along well with female dogs - but can be pushy at times. Richard is looking for experienced, SOVEREIGN, calm people who can explain the world to him again, he is currently marking, which definitely needs to be broken, - due to his already existing uncertainty we advise against a castration! He could potentially get along well with a sovereign female dog, however the person should keep an eye on him.

DE·Show original

Richard ist eher unsicher bis schreckhaft. Er ist nicht stubenrein und an der Leine laufen kann gern noch ausgebaut werden. Mit Hündinnen ist er wohl gut verträglich – aber mitunter aufdringlich. Richard sucht hundeerfahrene, SOUVERÄNE, ruhige Menschen, die ihm die Welt nochmal von vorn erklären, aktuell markiert er, was definitiv abgebaut werden muss – aufgrund seiner jetzt schon vorhandenen Unsicherheit raten wir von einer Kastration jedoch ab! Gegebenfalls könnte er gut zu einer souveränen Hündin passen, jedoch sollte der Mensch ein Auge drauf haben.

About Richard

What life with Richard looks like

Richard is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Tierschutzverein Freital 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. 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 Richard, answered.

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