Richard

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Richard had no easy start in life. Together with his brother Barney, the little male was found alone and severely undernourished on the side of the road. Two little puppies who should have grown up protected and instead were left to fend for themselves far too early. Luckily, the brothers were discovered in time and brought to safety. Richard is now receiving the care and nutrition he needs to regain his strength. What he still needs is a home of his own or a loving foster home where he doesn't have to grow up in a shelter. Because despite his difficult start, Richard is above all one thing: a normal young dog. Together with his brother and another young female in his kennel, he shows himself to be cheerful and playful. He enjoys the company of the other dogs and should now have the chance to learn all the things that are taken for granted by other puppies. For Richard, we wish for people who will give him enough time and peace to settle in after his departure. A long journey, a house, everyday noises, walks and living with people will mean many new impressions for him. He should discover this new world step by step and without pressure. The ABC of dogs must Richard still learn from scratch. Housebreaking, leash training, staying alone and the many small rules of living together will probably be new territory for him. After a sufficient settling-in period, we would be happy about a visit to a positive and non-violent dog school. There, Richard can learn together with his people, gain further positive experiences and grow into a self-confident young dog. And of course, puberty will also come to Richard. Then, things that have been learned may suddenly seem forgotten and boundaries will be questioned anew. People with patience, loving consistency and a good portion of humor will be able to accompany him through this exciting development phase. Richard currently still has skin problems that could be related to his poor nutritional status in the past. These are currently being clarified and treated by a veterinarian. We very much hope that he will now recover physically completely and soon grow into a strong young dog. Richard does not need people who pity him because of his past. He needs people who look to the future and give him everything that has been missing so far: security, protection, reliable reference persons and the opportunity to simply be a carefree young dog. Who would like to show Richard that a difficult start can lead to a beautiful dog life? Richard travels unspayed, chipped, vaccinated, dewormed and flea-free with his EU pet passport to his new home. He can be placed for a deposit after a positive pre-check. We would also be very happy about a loving foster home for Richard. Thank you very much to Deniz for giving Richard his name!

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Richard hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Barney wurde der kleine Rüde mutterseelenallein und völlig unterernährt am Straßenrand gefunden. Zwei kleine Hundekinder, die eigentlich behütet aufwachsen sollten und stattdessen schon viel zu früh auf sich allein gestellt waren. Zum Glück wurden die Brüder rechtzeitig entdeckt und in Sicherheit gebracht. Richard bekommt nun die Versorgung und Nahrung, die er braucht, um wieder zu Kräften zu kommen. Was ihm jetzt noch fehlt, ist ein eigenes Zuhause oder eine liebevolle Pflegestelle, in der er nicht im Shelter aufwachsen muss. Denn trotz seines schwierigen Starts ist Richard vor allem eines: ein ganz normaler junger Hund. Gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder und einer weiteren jungen Hündin in seinem Zwinger zeigt er sich fröhlich und verspielt. Er genießt die Gesellschaft der anderen Hunde und soll nun die Chance bekommen, all die Dinge kennenzulernen, die für andere Welpen selbstverständlich sind. Für Richard wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihm nach seiner Ausreise zunächst ausreichend Zeit und Ruhe zum Ankommen geben. Eine lange Reise, ein Haus, Alltagsgeräusche, Spaziergänge und das Zusammenleben mit Menschen werden viele neue Eindrücke für ihn bedeuten. Er soll diese neue Welt deshalb Schritt für Schritt und ohne Druck entdecken dürfen. Das Hunde-ABC muss Richard natürlich noch von Grund auf lernen. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, Alleinbleiben und die vielen kleinen Regeln des Zusammenlebens werden vermutlich Neuland für ihn sein. Nach einer ausreichenden Eingewöhnungszeit würden wir uns über den Besuch einer positiv und gewaltfrei arbeitenden Hundeschule freuen. Dort kann Richard gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen lernen, weitere positive Erfahrungen sammeln und zu einem selbstbewussten jungen Hund heranwachsen. Und natürlich wird auch bei Richard irgendwann die Pubertät vor der Tür stehen. Dann können bereits gelernte Dinge plötzlich wieder vergessen scheinen und Grenzen neu hinterfragt werden. Menschen mit Geduld, liebevoller Konsequenz und einer guten Portion Humor werden ihn auch durch diese spannende Entwicklungsphase begleiten können. Aktuell hat Richard noch Hautprobleme, die vermutlich mit seinem schlechten Ernährungszustand in der Vergangenheit zusammenhängen könnten. Diese werden derzeit tiermedizinisch abgeklärt und entsprechend behandelt. Wir hoffen sehr, dass er sich nun körperlich vollständig erholen und schon bald zu einem kräftigen jungen Rüden heranwachsen kann. Richard braucht keine Menschen, die ihn wegen seiner Vergangenheit bemitleiden. Er braucht Menschen, die nach vorne schauen und ihm all das mitgeben, was ihm bisher gefehlt hat: Sicherheit, Geborgenheit, verlässliche Bezugspersonen und die Möglichkeit, einfach ein unbeschwerter junger Hund zu sein. Wer möchte Richard zeigen, dass nach einem schweren Anfang ein wunderschönes Hundeleben beginnen kann? Richard reist unkastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit seinem EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause. Er kann nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr vermittelt werden. Auch über eine liebevolle Pflegestelle würden wir uns für Richard sehr freuen. Lieben Dank an Deniz, dass du Richard seinen Namen geschenkt hast!

About Richard

What life with Richard looks like

Richard is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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 — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. 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.
