Friendly, playful, and still respectful, the handsome German Shepherd-Mix in Romania awaits his big luck.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Rick hat sein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte. Rick ist einfach ein toller Kerl! Freundlich, verspielt und dabei trotzdem respektvoll wartet der hübsche Schäfi-Mix in Rumänien auf sein großes Glück. Mit seinen etwa 5 Jahren steht Rick mitten im Leben – kein wilder Jungspund mehr, aber immer noch aktiv, lernfreudig und bereit für gemeinsame Abenteuer. Und wir wollen ihn nicht mehr warten sehen! Rick mag Menschen sehr und zeigt sich in Rumänien als ausgeglichener und angenehmer Begleiter. Durch seinen freundlichen und ruhigen Grundcharakter ist er dabei ein besonders angenehmer Vertreter seiner vermuteten Rasse. Dennoch sind seine Schäferhund-Gene nicht zu unterschätzen. Daher suchen wir Menschen, die Erfahrung mit dieser Rasse und idealerweise auch mit charakterstarken Hunden haben, um Rick mit Geduld, Konsequenz und positiv verstärkendem Training zu begleiten. Schäferhunde sind bekannt für ihre gute Nase und ihre hohe Intelligenz. Eine Familie, die Freude daran hat, ihn mit Nasenarbeit, Suchspielen oder auch gemeinsamen Wanderungen auszulasten, wäre ein absoluter Jackpot für Rick. Mit Artgenossen ist der Prachtbursche sehr verträglich und teilt sich aktuell auch seinen Außenzwinger mit einer Hündin – ein vorhandener Hund im neuen Zuhause wäre also gut vorstellbar. Über Ricks Vergangenheit ist nicht viel bekannt. Er wurde allein auf der Straße gefunden und ist nun bereit für einen Neustart. Rick hat seinen Koffer gepackt und kann seine große Reise jederzeit antreten. Er ist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht und hat auch schon seinen EU-Heimtierausweis griffbereit. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle kann er gegen eine Schutzgebühr vermittelt werden. Eine Pflegestelle in Deutschland wäre ebenfalls eine große Chance für unseren Rick. Danke Alexa H.! Du hast Rick einen Namen geschenkt und ihn damit für die Welt sichtbar gemacht. Stand: 16.06.2026 Weitere Informationen zum Thema Vorkontrolle und Schutzgebühr

About Rick

What life with Rick looks like

Rick is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Rick, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rick?
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 Rick on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rick 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 Rick 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 Rick 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 Rick 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.
