Rocco

Male · Adult · 8 years

Name: Rocco Rasse: Pyrenäenhirtenhund geboren: ca. 2018/2019 Geschlecht: männlich Größe: ca. 70 cm Gewicht: ca. 50 kg Verträglichkeit: keine Katzen, keine kleinen Hunde (hoher Raubtierinstinkt) Gesundheitscheck: geimpft und entwurmt Mittelmeercheck: erfolgt bei Ausreise Charakter: sportlich, intelligent, liebevoll, Aufenthaltsort: Italien, Sermoneta Geschichte: Rocco hatte alles andere als eine schöne Kindheit. Er musste diese als Kettenhund verbringen und ist auch so aufgewachsen. – Für uns ein unvorstellbar schlimmer Gedanke und natürlich nicht nachvollziehbar, warum es vielen Menschen so egal ist, was sie ihren Tieren antun. Rocco konnte zum Glück von dort weggeholt werden und befindet sich nun auf einer italienischen Pflegefamilie. Dort zeigt er sich als sportlicher Kerl mit einem großen Bewegungsdrang. – Wer will es ihm verdenken? Für den großen Rüden suchen wir nun die richtigen Menschen, die auch die entsprechenden Voraussetzungen mitbringen. Die da wären: Erfahrung mit der Rasse und ein großes, sicher eingezäuntes Grundstück. Eine Haltung mitten in der Stadt lehnen wir von vornherein ab. Wenn Sie der Meinung sind, diesen Anforderungen zu entsprechen, dann melden Sie sich gerne bei der zuständigen Ansprechpartnerin: Britta Schulzeck Tel.: Mail: Www.tierschutzverein-fortuna-animali.com ℹ️Alle unsere Hunde sind gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und kastriert (sobald der Hund alt genug dafür ist) und besitzen den EU-HEIMTIERAUSWEIS. ℹ️Die Abgabe erfolgt nach positiver Vorkontrolle (Home-Check) mit Schutzvertrag und Schutzgebühr. - Hunde bis 1 Jahr = 540 € - Hunde ab 1 Jahr = 490 € ℹ️ Wir vermitteln bundesweit.

About Rocco

What life with Rocco looks like

Rocco is a large adult dog waiting at Step by Paw e.V. in Germany.

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 Rocco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Step by Paw 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 — Step by Paw 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 Step by Paw 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.
