Rudi

Poodle · Male · Adult · 5 years

Rudi is a medium-sized Pudel, approximately 48 cm tall and 5 1/2 years old (born on March 9, 2021). He comes from a hobby breeding, but both parents are purebred Pudels with pedigrees. He is a great and warm-hearted dog, incredibly loyal and loyal. He is compatible with other dogs and cats, shows no aggression towards humans, loves children, and makes no claims of ownership. He masters basic commands (e.g. sit, stay, stay, ...) and has good basic obedience. He has a low hunting instinct. Recall in the field works reliably in most cases. However, leash obedience is improvable. Pudel-specific, he is very teachable and learns quickly, unfortunately, he cannot be left alone despite training. His problem is mainly his control compulsion. This also manifests itself, for example, when his owners separate. This causes him stress and he becomes restless and whines. Rudi reacts to a stimulating environment with anxious behavior (no aggression, but flight behavior on the leash). A big city or urban living is definitely not for him. He enjoys sniffing games and would be perfect for mantrailing. Unfortunately, Rudi also has a health problem: he reacts to all food allergically (gets ear infections and itchy paws from it). He therefore needs special allergy food and one tablet Apoquel once a day. He takes it without problems. However, medication costs are around 55 euros per month. Food costs are around 60 euros per month. Unfortunately, the current owners do not have the time and to some extent the expertise to train him so that his "weaknesses" in everyday life improve. Several attempts with dog trainers have not brought a breakthrough success with the above problems. Unfortunately, he has been trained little to no more in the last 2-3 years. Responsible people who have a lot of time for him and also want to work on his quirks/weaknesses are being sought. A more confident leader at whom he can give control would be perfect for him. Rudi is vaccinated, chipped and uncastrated. He is not available for breeding. He currently lives in the Saale-Holzland district and can be visited there.

treu, loyal, gelehrig, freundlich, nie aggressiv; kann nicht alleine bleiben; benötigt reizarme Umgebung; zeigt bei Stress Fluchtverhalten 🐕𝗟ä𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗭𝘂𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗭𝗲𝗶𝘁 & 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝘇 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵𝘁 : 𝗥𝘂𝗱𝗶🐕 ----------------------------------------------- ⚠️Privatvermittlung, für die Richtigkeit der Angaben übernehmen wir keine Verantwortung ⚠️ ---------------------------------------------- Rudi ist ein Mittelpudel, hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 48 cm und ist 5 1/2 Jahre alt (geboren am 09. 03. 2021). Er stammt aus einer Hobbyzucht, beide Eltern sind jedoch reinrassige Pudel (mit Ahnentafel). Er ist ein toller und warmherziger Hund, der unglaublich treu und loyal ist. Er ist verträglich mit Artgenossen und Katzen, zeigt keinerlei Aggressionen gegenüber Menschen, ist kinderlieb , stellt keinerlei Besitzansprüche. Er beherrscht die Grundkommandos sicher (z. B. Sitz, Platz, Bleib,…) und hat einen guten Grundgehorsam. Er besitzt nur einen geringen Jagdtrieb. Der Rückruf im Gelände funktioniert in den meisten Fällen sehr zuverlässig. Die Leinenführigkeit ist jedoch ausbaufähig. Pudelspezifisch ist er sehr gelehrig und lernt auch schnell, leider kann er, trotz erfolgtem Training , nicht allein bleiben. Sein Problem ist dabei vor allem sein Kontrollzwang. Dieser äußert sich auch z. B. wenn seine Herrchen sich unterwegs trennen. Das bereitet ihm Stress und er wird unruhig und fiept. Rudi reagiert auf eine reizintensive Umgebung, mit ängstlichen Verhalten (keine Aggressionen, sondern Fluchtverhalten an der Leine). Eine Großstadt oder städtisches Wohnen ist definitiv nichts für ihn. Er hat viel Freude an Schnüffelspielen und wäre perfekt geeignet für Mantrailing. Rudi hat leider auch ein gesundheitliches Problem: er reagiert auf sämtliches Futter allergisch (bekommt davon Ohrenentzündungen und juckende Pfoten). Er benötigt deswegen spezielles Allergikerfutter und einmal täglich eine Tablette Apoquel. Diese nimmt er ohne Probleme . An Medikamentenkosten sind dadurch jedoch rund 55 Euro monatlich einzukalkulieren. Futterkosten sind es ca. 60 Euro pro Monat. Leider fehlt den jetzigen Besitzern die Zeit und ein Stück weit auch die Expertise, ihn so zu trainieren, dass seine „Schwächen“ im Alltag besser werden. Mehrfache Versuche mit Hundetrainern haben bei den oben genannten Problemen keinen durchschlagenden Erfolg gebracht. Seit 2-3 Jahren wurde leider dann nur noch wenig bis gar nicht mehr mit ihm trainiert. Gesucht werden verantwortungsvolle Menschen, die viel Zeit für ihn haben und auch an seinen Eigenheiten/Schwächen arbeiten wollen. Eine souveränere Führungsperson bei der er Kontrolle abgeben lernen kann, wäre perfekt für ihn. Rudi ist geimpft, gechipt und unkastriert. Er wird ausdrücklich nicht zur Zucht abgegeben. Momentan lebt er im Saale-Holzland-Kreis und kann dort besucht werden. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse kann man sich direkt an die Besitzer wenden : shopgirl1990. de

About Rudi

What life with Rudi looks like

Rudi is a large adult poodle dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Meiningen in Meiningen.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rudi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rudi?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Meiningen 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Meiningen whether they will for Rudi, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rudi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein Meiningen lists Rudi as vaccinated and microchipped. Tierschutzverein Meiningen lists Rudi as not yet neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Meiningen, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rudi isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Meiningen about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
