ROCKY

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

ROCKY ROCKY, born 15.09.2017, approx. 68 cm at the shoulder, weighing about 28 kg, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, tested negative for Mediterranean diseases. ROCKY is a truly special senior boy, a Pointer-Galgo mix with a very special charm. He came to the Refugio from a colleague's animal shelter and has enchanted everyone with his loving nature from the very first moment. ROCKY is an incredibly sweet, affectionate and cuddly dog. He is very calm, gentle and rather submissive. He is extremely grateful for every bit of attention and enjoys spending time with people. He especially loves being petted – and if he doesn't get enough scratches, ROCKY certainly knows how to make himself heard and simply demands his cuddles. ROCKY is also very sociable and easygoing with other dogs. At the shelter he gets along with all the dogs and proves to be a pleasant and peaceful companion. On the leash, he walks exemplarily in low-stimulus environments. At his age, ROCKY above all deserves one thing: a loving home where he is cherished, cared for and pampered, and where he can spend his golden years in security. Anyone who gives such a wonderful senior a chance will receive a great deal of love and gratitude in return. Contact: Andrea Heidebroek Email: andreaheidebroek-friends.org or via WhatsApp WhatsApp

ROCKY ROCKY, geboren 15. 09. 2017, SH ca. 68 cm, Gewicht etwa 28 kg, kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, negativ auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. ROCKY ist ein ganz besonderer älterer Rüde, ein Pointer-Galgo-Mix mit einem ganz besonderen Charm. Er kam aus dem Tierheim einer Kollegin zu ins Refugio und hat vom ersten Moment an mit seinem liebevollen Wesen verzaubert. ROCKY ist ein unglaublich lieber, anhänglicher und verschmuster Hund. Er ist sehr ruhig, sanft und eher unterwürfig. Dabei zeigt er sich ausgesprochen dankbar für jede Aufmerksamkeit und genießt es, wenn man sich mit ihm beschäftigt. Streicheleinheiten liebt er ganz besonders – und wenn man ihn einmal nicht ausreichend krault, weiß ROCKY sich durchaus bemerkbar zu machen und fordert seine Kuscheleinheiten einfach selbst ein. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist ROCKY ausgesprochen sozial und unkompliziert. Im Tierheim versteht er sich mit allen Hunden und zeigt sich als angenehmer und friedlicher Begleiter. An der Leine läuft er in reizarmer Umgebung vorbildlich. ROCKY hat in seinem Alter vor allem eines verdient: ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er geliebt, umsorgt und verwöhnt wird und seinen Lebensabend in Geborgenheit verbringen darf. Wer einem so wunderbaren Senior eine Chance gibt, bekommt dafür ganz viel Liebe und Dankbarkeit zurück. Kontakt: Andrea HeidebroekMail: andreaheidebroek-friends. org oder per WhatsApp Whatsapp

About ROCKY

What life with ROCKY looks like

ROCKY is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends e.V. in Germany.

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. 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 ROCKY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ROCKY?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends e.V. 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends e.V. whether they will for ROCKY, 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 ROCKY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends e.V. lists ROCKY as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends 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 ROCKY isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Galgo-Friends 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 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.
