How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?

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

Can I adopt Rocky if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Herzsprung 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 Rocky 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 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 Herzsprung early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rocky 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.

Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Rocky is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, neutered, and has been medically examined. My foster parents at the animal shelter call me Rocky (ca. born in 2025 / ca. 42cm shoulder height), and I am on the lookout for a new home. As you can see, I am a handsome fellow with a constant smile, always cheerful and in good spirits. With my pleasant nature and unique charm, I quickly win everyone's hearts. However, I must admit that in unfamiliar situations and with strangers, I can be initially shy and insecure. Once I get to know them better or realize that the unfamiliar situation is not as bad as I thought, I gradually open up and then show my true character. I will cling to you and be a great companion to your new pet in everyday life. I am also very eager to learn and enjoy doing things with my people. Such a young, clever fellow like you can surely teach me a lot, and together we can sit through the dog training class again so that I know everything important for my future dog life. Together, we will experience many wonderful things, such as playing ball together, searching for treats in the grass, going on exciting nature trips, or simply making ourselves comfortable at home. Of course, I also look forward to our cozy cuddle hours with great enthusiasm. My behavior towards other dogs is also very friendly, so I would not mind having a dog buddy in my new home. I am looking for a home in a rural area or a quieter suburban location. There, I would feel most comfortable. If you can imagine that I would fit well into your family, then contact my foster parents.

Rocky ist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, kastriert, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU-Pass. meine Pflegefrauchen im Tierheim nennen mich Rocky ( ca. am 08.2025 geboren / ca. 42cm Schulterhöhe ) und ich bin auf der Suche nach einem neuen Wirkungskreis. Wie ihr seht, bin ich ein hübscher Bursche, der immer ein Lächeln auf den Lippen hat, fröhlich und gut gelaunt ist. Mit meinem angenehmen Wesen und dem mir eigenem Charme, erobere ich schnell alle Herzen. Jedoch muss ich euch gestehen, das ich in unbekannten Situationen und bei fremden Menschen anfangs noch eingeschüchtert und unsicher reagieren kann. Sobald ich sie aber besser kennengelernt habe oder merke das die unbekannte Situation gar nicht schlimm ist, taue ich immer mehr auf und zeige dann meinen eigentlichen Charakter. Anhänglich und treu ergeben werde ich mich euch anschließen und meinem Besitzer im Alltag ein toller Begleiter sein. Ich bin auch sehr gelehrig und freue mich, etwas mit meinen Menschen zu unternehmen. So einem jungen, pfiffigen Burschen könnt Ihr sicher noch vieles beibringen und zusammen drücken wir dann noch einmal die Hundeschulbank, damit ich bald alles wichtige für mein künftiges Hundeleben weiß. Zusammen werden wir ganz viele tolle Dinge erleben, wie z.B. gemeinsames Bällchen spielen, Leckerlis im Gras suchen, spannende Ausflüge in der Natur unternehmen oder wir machen es uns einfach Zuhause gemütlich. Hauptsache, wir verbringen viel Zeit miteinander. Natürlich genieße ich auch voller Begeisterung unsere gemeinsamen Kuschelstunden. Mein Verhalten anderen Hunden gegenüber ist ebenfalls sehr freundlich und hätte daher auch nichts gegen einen Hundekumpel in meinem neuen Zuhause. Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause im ländlichen Bereich oder einer ruhigeren Stadtrandlage. Dort würde ich mich am wohlsten fühlen. Wenn ihr euch vorstellen könnt, dass ich gut in eure Familie passe, dann meldet euch doch einmal bei meinen Pflegerinnen.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
