Adi

Labrador Retriever · Female

Breed: Labrador-mixed breed compatibility with others: Decides based on the sympathy with male and female dogs. Current location: animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Reason for surrender: Owner has passed away Adi is optically very special due to his blue eye. He is very attentive and friendly, and already goes well on the leash. However, he struggles with being confined, which makes him very sad. He would ideally go for walks multiple times a day, but due to the over 120 dogs, only one walk per day is possible. He is very loyal and affectionate with his people. Adi possesses a healthy portion of self-confidence and knows exactly what he wants. Therefore, he should be raised and led with love but consistency. We would like to place him as a single dog. Children in the household should already be a bit older.

Rasse: Labrador-Mischling Verträglichkeit: Mit Rüden und Hündinnen entscheidet die Sympathie. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Besitzer ist verstorben Adi ist durch sein blaues Auge optisch ein ganz besonderer Hund. Er ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, geht bereits gut an der Leine. Mit dem Eingesperrtsein kommt er jedoch nur schwer klar. Das macht ihn sehr traurig. Er würde am liebsten mehrmals am Tag spazieren gehen, doch aufgrund der über 120 Hunde ist nur ein Spaziergang pro Tag möglich. Zu seinen Menschen ist er sehr treu und lieb. Adi besitzt eine gesunde Portion Selbstbewusstsein und weiß genau, was er möchte. Daher sollte man ihn liebevoll, aber konsequent erziehen und führen. Wir möchten ihn als Einzelhund vermitteln. Kinder im Haushalt sollten schon etwas größer sein.

About Adi

What life with Adi looks like

Adi is a adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Adi, answered.

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