Roque

Mixed Breed · Male

30 kilograms of pure joie de vivre, tenderness and playfulness – this is how our friends at Puntanimals describe Roque. This beautiful shepherd mix male dog is simply a super loving optimist, he wants to please and be loved – and even more importantly, he is looking for people who love him. Roque was alone in the area of Lepe and already during his lonely journey he desperately sought help from the bipeds. But a dog of Roques' size is quickly perceived as a threat and certainly our one-year-old (as of 12/2021) hero had to dodge many stones and kicks. Fortunately, the good-tempered sunbeam is not at all resentful, he loves everything and everyone, whether big or small, equipped with two, four or more legs – for Roque, the world is a big, colorful adventure playground with lots of friends to cuddle and play with. For our playmobile, we are naturally looking for active people who want to explore and conquer the world with their new wonderful companion – and turn every day into a colorful adventure. Roque is a dog who will surely bond very quickly with his family, which also means that you really should have the time to spend with our big snuggle ball. Roque is happy just being there – whether sitting next to the desk while the children do their homework or keeping a watchful eye on the pot while cooking in the kitchen. He is very balanced for a teenager and extremely attentive, but he also makes it clear that he wants to be challenged and stimulated – if you are looking for a new decorative couch pillow, you will probably find something suitable on this page, but Roque will most likely not be it. Roque wishes for an active, fun home, with humorous people inside and many four-legged friends in the neighborhood (or of course also happily in their own house). Roque is a participating dog... now we just need to find out what career our brilliant little daredevil will start!

30 Kilogramm pure Lebensfreude, Zärtlichkeit und Spielspaß – so beschreiben unsere Freunde von Puntanimals Roque. Der bildschöne Schäfer-Mix-Rüde ist einfach eine superliebe Frohnatur, er will gefallen und liebhaben – und noch wichtiger, er sucht Menschen, die ihn lieben. Roque war allein in der Gegend von Lepe unterwegs und schon auf seiner einsamen Wanderschaft suchte er verzweifelt Hilfe bei den Zweibeinern. Aber ein Hund von Roques Größe wird schnell als Bedrohung empfunden und sicher musste unser erst einjähriger (Stand 12/2021) Held so manchem Stein und Tritt ausweichen. Zum Glück ist der gutgelaunte Sonnenschein kein Stück nachtragend, er liebt einfach alles und jeden, egal ob groß oder klein, mit zwei, vier oder mehr Beinen ausgestattet – für Roque ist die Welt ein großer, bunter Abenteuerspielplatz mit ganz vielen Freunden zum Kuscheln und Toben. Für unser Spielmobil suchen wir natürlich entsprechend aktive Menschen, die mit ihrem neuen tollen Begleiter die Welt erforschen und erobern wollen – und jeden Tag in ein kunterbuntes Abenteuer verwandeln. Roque ist ein Hund, der sich bestimmt in kürzester Zeit sehr fest an seine Familie bindet, das heißt aber auch, dass man wirklich die Zeit haben sollte, sich mit unserer großen Knutschkugel zu beschäftigen. Roque ist glücklich, wenn er einfach dabei sein darf – ob es neben dem Schreibtisch bei den Hausaufgaben der Kinder ist oder mit wachsamem Blick auf den Topf, wenn in der Küche gekocht wird. Er ist sehr ausgeglichen für ein Pubertier und extrem aufmerksam, aber er meldet auch durchaus an, dass er gefordert und gefördert werden will – wer ein neues dekoratives Sofakissen sucht, findet bestimmt auf dieser Seite etwas Passendes, aber Roque wird es eher nicht sein. Roque wünscht sich ein aktives, lustiges Zuhause, mit humorvollen Menschen drin und vielen vierbeinigen Freunden in der Nachbarschaft (oder natürlich auch gern im eigenen Haus). Roque ist ein Mitmach-Hund … jetzt müssen wir nur noch wissen, welche Karriere unser genialer Springinsfeld starten wird!

About Roque

What life with Roque looks like

Roque is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Roque, answered.

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