Adopt Rocky

Dogo Argentino · Male · Adult · 7 years

Since: 21.01.2026 Rocky is a friendly and open male dog towards people. He knows the basic commands, is house-trained and travels well in the car. Cuddling and being pampered is his thing. Even at the veterinarian, Rocky behaves exemplary. He is only moderately compatible with other animals. His leash training is still in need of improvement. Especially during dog encounters, he barks while on the leash - in these situations, one must be physically stronger than him. Due to his age and size, Rocky is looking for a ground-floor home. Anyone who is looking for a nice and people-oriented senior dog is in the right place with Rocky.

Bei uns seit: 21.01.2026 Rocky ist Menschen gegenüber ein freundlicher und aufgeschlossener Rüde. Er beherrscht die Grundkommandos, ist stubenrein und fährt gut im Auto mit. Kuscheln und betüddelt zu werden, sind sein Ding. Sogar beim Tierarzt benimmt Rocky sich vorbildlich. Mit Artgenossen ist er nur bedingt verträglich. Die Leinenführigkeit ist auch noch ausbaufähig. Besonders bei Hundebegegnungen steht er bellend in der Leine - in diesen Situationen muss man ihm vor allem kräftemäßig gewachsen sein. Aufgrund seines Alters und seiner Größe sucht Rocky ein ebenerdiges Zuhause. Wer Lust auf einen netten und menschenbezogenen Senior hat, ist bei Rocky an der richtigen Adresse. 03841 - 79 01 79

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a adult dogo argentino dog waiting at Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg in Germany.

An 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. Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg 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 Dorf Mecklenburg 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 Dorf Mecklenburg 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.
