Rover

Mixed Breed · Male

Rover is a handsome male dog, very attached to his person, obedient and well-behaved. His calm, loving and affectionate nature makes him a pleasant roommate who can also be left alone for a while. He doesn't like closed doors, the trickster opens them then. Our dog loves going for walks. As soon as he sees the leash he jumps with joy - that's why his caretaker lovingly calls him "Little Pony". Dog encounters usually go smoothly, only the small "Wadelbeisser" are suspicious to him. He doesn't like cats, he seems to be accustomed to horses. Rover is looking for a home with active people who can guide him both mentally and physically. After all, he is a strong guy. His dog bed should be in a house with a garden in a rural area. For larger, sturdy children, our playful showoff is certainly a great companion.

DE·Show original

Rover ist ein bildhübscher Rüde, sehr auf seinen Menschen fixiert, folgsam und gut erzogen. Sein ruhiges, liebes und verschmustes Wesen machen ihn zu einem angenehmen Mitbewohner, der auch mal brav alleine bleiben kann. Geschlossene Türen mag er nicht so gerne, das Schlitzohr öffnet sie dann. Unser Hundemann geht leidenschaftlich gerne Gassi. Schon beim ersten Anzeichen hüpft er vor Freude – sein Pflegefrauchen nennt ihn deshalb liebevoll „Little Pony“. Hundebegegnungen verlaufen in der Regel harmonisch, nur die kleinen `Wadelbeisser` sind ihm etwas suspekt. Katzen mag er nicht, Pferde ist er anscheinend gewohnt. Rover sucht ein Zuhause bei bewegungsfreudigen Menschen, die ihn nicht nur mental, sondern auch körperlich gut führen können. Immerhin ist er ein kräftiger Bursche. Sein Körbchen sollte in einem Haus mit Garten in ländlicher Umgebung stehen. Für größere, standfeste Kinder ist unser verspielter Prachtkerl sicherlich ein prima Kumpel.

About Rover

What life with Rover looks like

Rover is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Rover, answered.

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