Rocky 2

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Senior · 9 years

Rocky 2 – Staff mix, born 13.01.2017, came to us together with the female dog Ava after being taken into protective custody in May 2023. Rocky is prone to stress, which can show up in him as increased drooling. Otherwise, he is a friendly dog who gets along well with female dogs, depending on how much he likes them. He is friendly toward his primary caregiver but does not actively seek direct contact and is not a cuddly dog. For Rocky we are looking for people experienced with dogs who understand that not every dog is easy and who are willing to work patiently on building trust and orientation. A home with children or with other animals is rather unsuitable. If you would like to get to know Rocky, please feel free to get in touch – we will support you in checking whether he fits your living situation.

About Rocky 2

What life with Rocky 2 looks like

Rocky 2 is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocky 2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocky 2?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rocky 2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rocky 2 if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rocky 2 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 Rocky 2 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 Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocky 2 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.
