Schoko

Dachshund · Male · Adult · 6 years

Australian Shephard-Dachshund-Mix Born: 06.01.2020 Outgoing: reserved and friendly Children: no Dogs: by temperament Female dog: by temperament Cats: ? Small animals: ? Schoko shows both visually and characteristically some traits of both breeds. Thus, there are two souls in his chest. He is independent like a Dachshund but also agile and energetic like an Aussie. He is a lively little fellow, but not for people who have never had a dog. A bit of body language should be read when interacting with him. If he has a Gassigeher (energizer) in his heart, he is ready for any adventure. Digging and rummaging are his great passions. Since Schoko occasionally wants to assert his stubbornness, he should be rehomed to a household without small children. Schoko is also not a fan of cats and small animals. Whether he could get along with another dog in the household is unknown. In any case, the sympathy between the two dogs should be thoroughly tested beforehand during joint walks.

Austr. Shepard-Dackel-MixRüdegeboren: 06.01.2020Fremde: zurückhaltend freundlichKinder: NeinRüden: nach SympathieHündinnen: nach SympathieKatzen: ?Kleintiere: ? Schoko zeigt optisch und auch charakterlich einige Eigenschaften beider Rassen. Somit wohnen zwei Seelen in seiner Brust. Er ist selbstständig wie ein Dackel aber auch agil und eifrig wie ein Aussie. Er ist ein quirliger kleiner Kerl, jedoch nichts für Leute die noch nie einen Hund hatten. Ein bisschen Körpersprache sollte man im Umgang mit ihm lesen können. Wenn er einen Gassigeher in sein Herz geschlossen hat, ist er für jedes Abenteuer zu haben. Buddeln und wühlen sind seine große Passion. Da Schoko seinen Sturkopf hin und wieder durchsetzen möchte, sollte er in einen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder vermittelt werden. Von Katzen und Kleintieren ist Schoko ebenfalls kein Fan. Ob er mit einem weiteren Hund im Haushalt zurecht käme wissen wir nicht. In jedem Fall sollte die Sympathie zwischen den beiden Hunden zuvor ausgiebig bei gemeinsamen Spaziergängen getestet werden.

About Schoko

What life with Schoko looks like

Schoko is a large adult dachshund dog waiting at Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen in Dillingen.

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 Schoko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Schoko?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Schoko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Schoko 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 Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen whether they will for Schoko, 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 Schoko already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Schoko. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Schoko isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Schoko 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.
