Scooby

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Scooby – no longer a youngster, but far from finished with life → Breed: Mixed → Gender: Male → Born: 2017 → Size / Weight: 50 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Microchip: yes → Compatible with: Male and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown → Sponsorship possible: yes Description Scooby has spent many years on the streets, learning to fend for himself. He knew life without his own bed, without stable people, and without the security of a family. Then he was hit by a car and suffered a complicated leg fracture. The injury has long since healed, but his little leg has grown together a bit crookedly. Scooby doesn't care much about it. He copes well and just keeps going. Of course, he won't become a dog that runs with joggers. But whoever thinks Scooby has had his best years behind him doesn't know him. He likes to go for walks, is curious about his environment, and enjoys everything life has to offer – just at a slightly more relaxed pace. He shows himself to be social and uncomplicated with other dogs. He currently shares his kennel with a young mother dog and her puppies, completely problem-free. He also likes people very much, lets himself be touched, and enjoys every attention he receives. We are looking for people for Scooby who don't expect a perfect dog, but a real character. Someone who understands that a former street dog

Scooby – kein Jungspund mehr, aber längst nicht fertig mit dem Leben → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 2017 → Grösse / Gewicht: 50 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung Scooby hat viele Jahre auf der Straße verbracht und dabei gelernt, sich durchzuschlagen. Er kannte das Leben ohne eigenes Körbchen, ohne feste Menschen und ohne die Sicherheit einer Familie. Dann wurde er von einem Auto angefahren und erlitt einen komplizierten Beinbruch. Die Verletzung ist längst verheilt, sein Beinchen ist allerdings etwas schief zusammengewachsen. Scooby? Den stört das herzlich wenig. Er kommt gut zurecht und macht einfach weiter. Natürlich wird aus ihm kein Hund mehr, der mit Joggern um die Wette läuft. Aber wer glaubt, Scooby hätte seine besten Jahre hinter sich, kennt ihn nicht. Er geht gerne spazieren, ist neugierig auf seine Umwelt und freut sich über alles, was das Leben zu bieten hat – nur eben in einem etwas entspannteren Tempo. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt er sich sozial und unkompliziert. Aktuell teilt er seinen Zwinger mit einer jungen Hundemama und ihren Welpen, völlig problemlos. Menschen mag er ebenfalls sehr gerne, lässt sich anfassen und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit, die man ihm schenkt. Für Scooby suchen wir Menschen, die keinen perfekten Hund erwarten, sondern einen echten Charakter. Jemanden, der versteht, dass ein ehemaliger Straßenhun

About Scooby

What life with Scooby looks like

Scooby is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Scooby, answered.

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