How do I contact the shelter about Rocco?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rocco if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Rocco 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 Rocco 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocco 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.

Rocco

Mixed Breed · Male · 8 months

Rocco - life doesn't wait, it wants to be discovered → Breed: Mix → Gender: Male → Born: 01/2026 → Size / Weight: 30 cm / 7 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → ID: Chip → Compatible with: Male and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown → Sponsorship possible: yes Description Sometimes it takes just one person to turn a lost beginning into a wonderful future. Rocco was found all alone in the city center - no place for a young dog. Luckily, he was able to come to safety and grow up with other dogs. Today, he has become a cheerful, open-minded young dog who is ready to find his own home. Rocco is friendly, people-oriented and meets big and small people openly and curiously. He gets along well with his fellow dogs and brings the best conditions for a harmonious coexistence. Now he just needs people who recognize this potential and promote it further. Rocco has not yet experienced family life. Everything that is self-evident for many dogs, he has yet to discover. He needs people who are happy to show him the world, patiently guide him and give him security. Education does not mean strictness, but orientation, trust and growing together. Because Rocco is a rather small dog, we are looking for people who see him as a full-fledged dog. He wants to run and play.

Rocco – das Leben wartet nicht, es will entdeckt werden → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 01/2026 → Grösse / Gewicht: 30 cm / 7 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Manchmal braucht es nur einen einzigen Menschen, damit aus einem verlorenen Anfang eine wunderbare Zukunft wird. Rocco wurde ganz allein mitten im Stadtzentrum gefunden – kein Ort für einen jungen Hund. Zum Glück durfte er in Sicherheit kommen und gemeinsam mit anderen Hunden aufwachsen. Heute ist aus ihm ein fröhlicher, aufgeschlossener Junghund geworden, der bereit ist, endlich sein eigenes Zuhause zu finden. Rocco ist freundlich, menschenbezogen und begegnet Groß und Klein offen und neugierig. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht er sich bestens und bringt damit die besten Voraussetzungen für ein harmonisches Zusammenleben mit. Jetzt fehlen ihm nur noch Menschen, die dieses Potenzial erkennen und weiter fördern. Ein Familienleben kennt Rocco bisher noch nicht. Alles, was für viele Hunde selbstverständlich ist, darf er erst noch entdecken. Dafür braucht er Menschen, die Freude daran haben, ihm die Welt zu zeigen, ihn geduldig anzuleiten und ihm Sicherheit zu geben. Erziehung bedeutet dabei nicht Strenge, sondern Orientierung, Vertrauen und gemeinsam zu wachsen. Gerade weil Rocco ein eher kleiner Hund ist, wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihn als vollwertigen Hund sehen. Er möchte laufe

About Rocco

What life with Rocco looks like

Rocco is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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.
