How do I contact the shelter about Ruffy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ruffy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ruffy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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 Ruffy 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 Ruffy 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 Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ruffy 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.

adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen adoption process Ruffy has finally found a home! His story: Charmeur Ruffy is a real ray of sunshine and a dog in the best age! He has decided to start all over again and finally find his family! Already for 6 (!!!) years, Ruffy has been in the animal shelter in Germany and is waiting for his family! Can you imagine that? This has to end now, we all want to find him a home. And let's find his people together. Ruffy is a dog who always stays close to people. He likes to be there and is very happy about treats. He lets himself be combed, claws trimmed, and ears cleaned without a problem, but he is not a big cuddle bear. He is a quiet, balanced male dog who likes to lie around and observe. He does not show any food aggression. Ruffy is about 65 cm tall and weighs 28 kg, a large but very slender size. His legs are long and graceful. In the current kennel, he was already with the horses and found everything wonderful. He showed no prey drive and enjoyed the time with the horses, ponies, and cats. He also showed no reaction to chickens, rabbits, and goats. Ruffy could also be a good fit on a farm with many animals. A rural home with a garden would be his top wish. He is also compatible with his fellow animals. Currently, he mainly lives with other male dogs, which works wonderfully and has never caused any problems. Ruffy barks very little. He also walks well on a leash. We are looking for people for Ruffy who want to take beautiful walks with him and show him everything he has missed in his life. And there is still so much for Ruffy to discover! Ruffy is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea treated. He has his own EU pet passport and will only be placed with positive results. Do you feel inspired and bring the perfect conditions for Ruffy? Then sign up! A big thank you goes to Stefan M. He has taken over the nametag sponsorship for Ruffy, given him an identity, and made the first steps for his new life. We say thank you to Isabelle Richert for the beautiful pictures of Ruffy! As of: 08.08.

About Ruffy

What life with Ruffy looks like

Ruffy is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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.
