Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Date of birth: 02.12.2025 Height: approx. 35 cm / 6 kg Rocky is a friendly, curious little fellow who’s eager to explore the world and learn lots more. Even though Rocky is small, he wants to be treated and regarded as a fully-fledged dog. This means plenty of exercise, regular contact with other young dogs, and ideally, attending dog training classes—because Rocky is certainly no couch potato. At the moment, Rocky is still very wary of people and needs time to build trust. He gets along exceptionally well with dogs, though: he loves playing, running, and having lots of fun. A second dog would therefore be ideal—but it’s not a must. We’re looking for empathetic people with experience who don’t expect immediate cuddle sessions from Rocky, but rather give him the time he needs to settle in.

Geburtsdatum: 02.12.2025 Größe: ca 35 cm / 6 Kilo Rocky ist ein freundlicher, neugieriger kleiner Kerl, der die Welt entdecken und noch ganz viel lernen möchte . Auch wenn Rocky klein ist möchte er als vollwertiger Hund betrachtet und behandelt werden . Das bedeutet ausreichend Auslauf, Kontakt zu weiteren Junghunden und gerne auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule, denn Rocky ist sicher keine Couchpotatoe. Aktuell gruselt sich Rocky noch sehr vor Menschen und braucht Zeit um Vertrauen zu fassen . Mit Hunden kommt er umso besser klar: er spielt , rennt und tobt für sein Leben gerne . Ein Zweithund wäre daher Ideal , ist aber kein muss . Wir wünschen uns einfühlsame Menschen mit Erfahrung die von Rocky nicht gleich Schmuseeinheiten erwarten , sondern ihm Zeit zum ankommen lassen.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Pfungstadt und Umgebung e.V in Pfungstadt.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Pfungstadt und Umgebung 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 — Tierschutzverein Pfungstadt und Umgebung 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 Tierschutzverein Pfungstadt und Umgebung 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.
