Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

mixed breed Rocky is looking for people with time. Rocky is a curious, lively male dog who still has much to learn and is searching for people who will lovingly guide him. At home, he shows a pleasant calm and balance. He is already house-trained and enjoys going for walks together. On the leash, he walks quite well, although he still tends to pester other dogs when out. Consistent training will still be necessary. Rocky is generally socially compatible with other animals. For him, a home with a second dog would even be ideal, as he could orient himself to a confident canine companion. However, he needs to continue practicing being left alone. Rocky knows how to drive and masters it without problems. His new people, however, should bring patience and understanding, as much is still new to him. He has not yet mastered the basic commands because other projects were in the foreground. For Rocky, we wish for a quiet home in a house with a securely fenced yard. Small children should not live in the household, as they scare him. Instead, he is looking for people who respect his sensitive nature, provide him with security, and allow him to progress at his own pace.

DE·Show original

Mischling Rocky sucht Menschen mit Zeit Rocky ist ein neugieriger, aufgeweckter Rüde, der noch viel lernen möchte und auf der Suche nach Menschen ist, die ihn dabei liebevoll begleiten. Im Haus zeigt er sich angenehm ruhig und ausgeglichen. Er ist bereits stubenrein und genießt gemeinsame Spaziergänge sehr. An der Leine läuft er schon recht ordentlich, auch wenn er draußen aktuell noch dazu neigt, andere Hunde anzupöbeln. Hier wird weiterhin konsequentes Training erforderlich sein. Mit Artgenossen ist Rocky grundsätzlich sozialverträglich. Für ihn wäre ein Zuhause als Zweithund sogar ideal, da er sich an einem souveränen Hundekumpel orientieren könnte. Das Alleinbleiben muss hingegen noch weiter geübt werden. Rocky kennt das Autofahren und meistert dies problemlos. Seine neuen Menschen sollten jedoch Geduld und Verständnis mitbringen, denn vieles ist für ihn noch neu. Die Grundkommandos beherrscht er bislang noch nicht, da zunächst andere Baustellen im Vordergrund standen. Für Rocky wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause in einem Haus mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten. Kleine Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben, da sie ihm Angst machen. Dafür sucht er Menschen, die seine sensible Art respektieren, ihm Sicherheit vermitteln und ihn in seinem Tempo ankommen lassen. Vor der

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe 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?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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.
