Roland

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Seine anfängliche Vorsicht hat Roland schnell abgelegt. Er liebt jeden neuen Besucher und potentiellen Kuschelpartner, hat hierbei seinen Menschen aber am liebsten für sich allein. Gar nicht schüchtern drängt er sich gern mal vor um entweder als erstes gestreichelt zu werden oder ganz sicher zu gehen, dass er auch mit zum Spaziergang darf ... diese liebt er nämlich mittlerweile sehr. Der große Stadttrubel ist möglicherweise noch sehr aufregend für ihn, lieber hätte er wohl gemäßigte Stadtteile, denn Lärm und all die neuen Dinge wie Autos, Fahrräder und auch große Menschenmengen können doch noch beeindruckend sein.Roland ist gut verträglich mit Artgenossen, neigt aber zur Eifersucht und sollte somit eher als Einzelprinz im neuen Zuhause leben. Gegen ganz viel Mensch hat er jedoch sicher nichts einzuwenden.Kuschelzeit steht bei ihr hoch im Kurs, ebenso die Tobestunden im Auslauf, an der schlanke Linie muss er noch ein wenig arbeiten, da er sich jedoch gern bewegt, sollte dies schnell geschafft sein. Wenn Sie Roland kennenlernen möchten, kommen Sie gern während der Vermittlungszeiten persönlich im Tierheim vorbei oder schreiben Sie eine aussagekräftige E Mail unter an unsere Tierpflegerinnen.

About Roland

What life with Roland looks like

Roland is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Roland, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Roland?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Roland on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Roland if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg 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 Roland 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 Roland 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 Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Roland 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.
