Ron

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Ron is a small doggy opio who has grown old. He doesn't hear very well anymore, and his old bones make it hard for him to get through the day. Ron should therefore not have to climb any stairs – an ground-floor home would be a big wish for him. Despite his age, Ron has kept his loving personality. He enjoys every cuddle, is happy about every treat, and sometimes speaks loudly – almost like a little seal. Alice is always by his side. She gives him security, orientation, and lovingly takes care of him. The two are a well-coordinated team and are inseparably connected. Therefore, Ron can only be rehomed together with Alice, so that the two can continue to spend their precious time together. For Ron and Alice, we wish for people with hearts, patience, and understanding who would like to give the two another warm and loving home.

DE·Show original

Ron ist ein kleiner Hunde-Opi, der in die Jahre gekommen ist. Er hört nicht mehr besonders gut und auch seine alten Knochen tragen ihn nur noch schwer durchs Leben. Treppen sollte Ron deshalb keine mehr laufen müssen – ein ebenerdiges Zuhause wäre für ihn ein großer Wunsch. Trotz seines Alters hat Ron sich seinen liebevollen Charakter bewahrt. Er genießt jede Kuscheleinheit, freut sich über jedes Leckerchen und meldet sich gerne mal lautstark zu Wort – manchmal fast wie ein kleiner Seehund. An seiner Seite ist immer Alice. Sie gibt ihm Sicherheit, Orientierung und kümmert sich liebevoll um ihn. Die beiden sind ein eingespieltes Team und unzertrennlich miteinander verbunden. Deshalb wird Ron nur gemeinsam mit Alice vermittelt, damit die beiden ihre kostbare gemeinsame Zeit weiterhin zusammen verbringen dürfen. Für Ron und Alice wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Herz, Geduld und Verständnis, die den beiden noch einmal ein warmes und liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchten.

About Ron

What life with Ron looks like

Ron is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Ron, answered.

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