ROBY

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Roby Date of birth: approx. 2022/2023. Breed: Mixed breed, male. Location: Mainland Portugal In September 2024 we met Roby for the first time… A picture of a dog, a dog who simply radiates, full of joie de vivre 🫶🏼 He went back and forth between terrible conditions outside and the canil… The last time we saw him, one year later, we were speechless. There lay "our" Roby, a heap of misery, a shadow of himself, emaciated, deeply sad, hopeless. It felt like half of the strong dog he once was 😭 The constant back and forth and the loss of his beloved owner, the stress, the question in his head of what he had done wrong, had taken a heavy toll on him. But what remains is this wonderful, lovable character: loyal and obedient, friendly and cuddly, good-natured and playful… A dog with that radiance in his eyes! 🤩 Now that, after all this waiting, he finally wants to have loving people around him again, he urgently seeks a foster or forever home, preferably with a female dog to romp with in a family. Confident children would also be wonderful, as Roby loves children.

Rasse: MischlingRüdeAufenthaltsort: Festland Portugal Im September 2024 haben wir Roby das erstmal getroffen…Ein Bild von einem Hund, ein Hund der einfach strahlt, voller Lebensfreude ist 🫶🏼Er wechselte zwischen schlimmen Bedingungen draußen und Canil hin und her...Das letzte Mal als wir ihn 1 Jahr später sahen waren wir sprachlos.Da lag „unser“ Roby, ein Häufchen Elend, ein Schatten seiner selbst, eingefallen, todtraurig, hoffnungslos. Gefühlt die Hälfte des kräftigen Hundes der er mal war 😭Das ständige Hin und Her und der Verlust seines geliebten Besitzers, der Stress, die Frage in seinem Kopf was er falsch gemacht hat, hatten ihm viel abverlangt.Was aber übrig bleibt:dieser wundervolle, liebenswerte Charakter: loyal und gehorsam, freundlich und verschmust, verträglich und verspielt…..Ein Hund mit diesem Strahlen in seinen Augen! 🤩Um jetzt endlich nach all dem Warten wieder geliebten Menschen um ihn herum zu haben, sucht er dringend eine Pflege- oder Endstelle, gerne mit einer Hündin zum toben in einer Familie. Auch standfeste Kinder wären toll für den kinderlieben Roby.

About ROBY

What life with ROBY looks like

ROBY is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Underdog Rescue e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting ROBY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ROBY?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Underdog Rescue e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ROBY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ROBY if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. whether they will for ROBY, what they require (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 ROBY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for ROBY. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Underdog Rescue e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if ROBY isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know ROBY 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.
