Rudi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Rudi is a beautiful, approximately two-year-old German Shepherd mix, who stands 55 cm tall and weighs 25 kg, making him a great size. He is a dream for people who enjoy being active and want a dog to share their life with. Rudi is very intelligent, attentive, and eager to learn. He listens well, quickly understands what is expected of him, and takes great joy in working with his people. At the same time, he is incredibly people-oriented. He loves attention, closeness, and wants to be part of the family. His future owners should therefore enjoy spending a lot of time with him - long walks, hikes, trips or joint training. Rudi brings energy and wants to use it meaningfully. For active people who are looking for a motivated and eager to learn companion, he could be just the right one. He also shows his best side when interacting with other dogs: he is very social, friendly, and gets along wonderfully with his fellow dogs. He is open, friendly, and loving towards people. You can tell how much he longs for his own people. Rudi does not want to just walk along somewhere - he wants to build a real bond and be a loyal companion to his owner. Rudi is neutered and vaccinated. Cats have not been tested yet. According to the description, he is very friendly with children. ✨ Rudi is looking for active people who want an intelligent, sporty, and affectionate dog. People who will encourage him, give him tasks, and enjoy the close bond with him at the same time. He has everything: smart, social, active, cuddly, and full of joie de vivre. Now he just needs the most important thing: his own home and people who want him just as much as he wants them. ❤️🐾

Rudi ist ein wunderschöner, etwa zweijähriger Schäferhund-Mix, der mit seinen 55 cm und 25 kg eine tolle Größe hat. Er ist ein absoluter Traum für Menschen, die gerne aktiv sind und einen Hund suchen, der gemeinsam mit ihnen durchs Leben gehen möchte. Rudi ist sehr intelligent, aufmerksam und lernwillig. Er hört gut zu, versteht schnell, was von ihm erwartet wird, und hat große Freude daran, mit seinen Menschen zu arbeiten. Gleichzeitig ist er unglaublich menschenbezogen. Er liebt Aufmerksamkeit, Nähe und möchte einfach dazugehören. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten daher Freude daran haben, viel mit ihm zu unternehmen – lange Spaziergänge, Wanderungen, Ausflüge oder gemeinsames Training. Rudi bringt Energie mit und möchte diese auch sinnvoll einsetzen. Für aktive Menschen, die einen motivierten und lernfreudigen Begleiter suchen, könnte er genau der Richtige sein. Auch im Umgang mit anderen Hunden zeigt sich Rudi von seiner besten Seite: Er ist sehr sozial, freundlich und verträglich und kommt mit Artgenossen wunderbar zurecht. Menschen gegenüber ist er offen, freundlich und liebevoll. Man merkt ihm an, wie sehr er sich nach seinen eigenen Menschen sehnt. Rudi möchte nicht einfach irgendwo mitlaufen – er möchte eine echte Bindung aufbauen und seinem Menschen ein treuer Begleiter sein. Rudi ist kastriert und geimpft. Katzen wurden bisher noch nicht getestet. Mit Kindern ist er laut Beschreibung sehr freundlich. ✨ Rudi sucht aktive Menschen, die Lust auf einen intelligenten, sportlichen und anhänglichen Hund haben. Menschen, die ihn fördern, ihm Aufgaben geben und gleichzeitig die enge Bindung zu ihm genießen möchten. Er bringt eigentlich alles mit: klug, sozial, aktiv, verschmust und voller Lebensfreude. Jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch das Wichtigste: sein eigenes Zuhause und Menschen, die ihn genauso sehr wollen, wie er sie. ❤️🐾

About Rudi

What life with Rudi looks like

Rudi is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

An young 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 Rudi, answered.

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