Rolli

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 7 years

Our apparent muscular specimen Rolli came to us via the local authority and is now searching for a new suitable home. At first glance, he is a victim of absolute puppy mill cruelty – his body proportions are completely off, his bones are much too heavy and sometimes too short, his head is much too large in comparison to his body, and his nose is much too short, causing him significant breathing difficulties. He cannot sit normally and despite still being relatively young, he is unable to run long distances as his body does not cooperate. In his previous home, he had biting incidents both with strangers and even with his owner, leading to him being classified as dangerous under § 3 Abs. 3 LHundG NRW. IMPORTANT:

Unser vermeintlicher Kraftprotz Rolli kam über das Ordnungsamt zu uns und ist nun auf der Suche nach einem neuen geeigneten Zuhause. Wie man auf den ersten Blick erkennen kann, ist er Opfer einer absoluten Qualzucht – die Körperproportionen stimmen ganz und gar nicht, seine Knochen sind viel zu schwer und teils zu kurz, sein Kopf viel zu groß im Vergleich zum Körper und seine Nase viel zu kurz, sodass er erhebliche Schwierigkeiten mit der Atmung hat. Er kann nicht normal sitzen und trotz seines noch recht jungen Alters ist es ihm nicht möglich, weite Strecken zu laufen, da sein Körper dies nicht mitmacht. In seinem Zuhause kam es zu Beißvorfällen sowohl mit Fremden, als auch mit dem Besitzer selbst, woraufhin er nach § 3 Abs. 3 LHundG NRW als gefährlich eingestuft wurde.

About Rolli

What life with Rolli looks like

Rolli is a large adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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 Rolli, answered.

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