Adopt Robbie

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Breed:mixed breed. Gender:castrated male Height:70 cm. Born:around December 2019 Arrived at our shelter:May 2021 Behavior:Hello, I'm Robbie. At first, I'm a bit skeptical around strangers and will closely observe them. If I find them okay, I'm happy to be petted. With my trusted people, I like to lie on my side and have my belly rubbed. On walks, I can be hard to control and will only give gas. However, I now allow myself to be controlled from the other end of the leash and take more time on walks. I get along with most dogs and enjoy playing with them. Note:Robbie can only be rehomed with people who have experience with dogs. Children under 14 years, cats, and small pets should not live in the new home. To meet Robbie, please arrange a meeting. Contact:Tel.:

Rasse:Mischling. Geschlecht:männlich kastriertSchulterhöhe:70 cm. Geboren:ca. Dezember 2019Bei uns seit:Mai 2021Verhalten:Hallo, ich bin’s, Robbie. Bei fremden Menschen bin ich anfangs skeptisch und schaue sie mir ganz genau an. Finde ich sie in Ordnung, lasse ich mich gern streicheln. Bei meinen Bezugspersonen lege ich mich auch gern auf die Seite und lasse mir den Bauch kraulen. Beim Spazierengehen bin ich manchmal kaum zu bremsen und kenne dann nur Gas geben. Obwohl ich mich mittlerweile aber schon vom anderen Ende der Leine zügeln lasse und mir etwas mehr Zeit beim Spaziergang nehme. Ich finde die meisten Hunde toll und spiele gern mit ihnen.Hinweis(e):Robbie wird nur an Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung vermittelt. Kinder unter 14 Jahren, Katzen und Kleintiere sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Zum Kennenlernen bitte einen Termin vereinbaren.Kontakt:Tel.: oder

About Robbie

What life with Robbie looks like

Robbie is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schleswig in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Robbie, answered.

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