adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Sheldon was recently in a foster home and is getting better every day – and it's clear how much he enjoys life with people. With his shoulder height of about 64 cm and weight of around 27 kg, Sheldon is a sturdy but easily handled male dog who would like to walk by his people's side. He is a friendly, open dog who likes people – whether inside or outside. Sheldon is happy to receive any attention and enjoys cuddles very much. He also gets along well with other dogs, with friendliness deciding the outcome. In everyday life, Sheldon already does many things right: he walks well on a leash and a slip lead, comes when called, and is now house-trained. He also jumps into the car independently and rides without a problem. He has also learned to sit – a little stud. He is a lively and active companion who likes to be out, sniffing, and exploring his surroundings. On walks, he shows curiosity and interest in everything he encounters. Sheldon is not at all bad – he simply brings a healthy portion of temperament and can be a bit more intense in play. Therefore, he is not suitable for small children. Sheldon ignores horses without a problem. Cats in the household have not yet been tested, but he would likely chase them outside. A certain prey drive is therefore present, so further work on recall should be done. He can be left alone for 2–3 hours with other dogs already. How he behaves in more lively environments is still unknown, as he currently lives very quietly on the countryside. A dog training class would be a nice support for Sheldon to grow together and gain security in everyday life. Sheldon is a real sunshine who simply likes to be with his people and enjoys the shared time to the fullest. Sheldon can be visited and met at his foster home at any time. He is microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated and brings his EU pet passport. Who would like to give Sheldon a home and accompany him on his further journey? Thank you, Silvie S.! You gave Sheldon a name and thus an identity. A big thank you also goes to Maria Josephine M., who took on a monthly sponsorship for Sheldon. As of: 08.05.

Sheldon durfte vor einiger Zeit in eine Pflegestelle reisen und kommt dort von Tag zu Tag mehr an. Mit jedem Tag zeigt er mehr von seinem liebevollen, fröhlichen Wesen – und man merkt einfach, wie sehr er das Leben mit Menschen genießt. Mit seinen ca. 64 cm Schulterhöhe und etwa 27 kg ist Sheldon ein stattlicher, aber gut händelbarer Rüde, der gerne an der Seite seiner Menschen durchs Leben gehen möchte. Er ist ein freundlicher, aufgeschlossener Hund, der Menschen sehr mag – egal ob drinnen oder draußen. Sheldon freut sich über jede Aufmerksamkeit und genießt Streicheleinheiten sehr. Auch mit anderen Hunden kommt er meist gut zurecht, Sympathie entscheidet. Im Alltag macht Sheldon bereits vieles richtig: Er läuft gut an der Leine und an der Schleppleine, kommt auf Rückruf und ist inzwischen stubenrein. Auch ins Auto springt er selbstständig und fährt problemlos mit. Sitz hat er ebenfalls schon gelernt – ein kleiner Streber Er ist ein lebensfroher und aktiver Begleiter, der gerne draußen unterwegs ist, schnüffelt und seine Umgebung erkundet. Beim Spazierengehen zeigt er sich neugierig und interessiert an allem, was ihm begegnet. Sheldon ist keineswegs böse – er bringt einfach eine ordentliche Portion Temperament mit und kann im Spiel auch mal etwas stürmischer werden. Daher ist er für kleine Kinder eher nicht geeignet. Pferde ignoriert Sheldon problemlos. Katzen im Haushalt konnten bisher nicht getestet werden, draußen würde er ihnen vermutlich nachgehen. Ein gewisser Jagdtrieb ist also vorhanden, weshalb weiter am Rückruf gearbeitet werden sollte. Alleine bleiben klappt in Gesellschaft anderer Hunde bereits 2–3 Stunden gut. Wie er sich in belebteren Umgebungen verhält, ist noch nicht bekannt, da er aktuell sehr ruhig auf dem Land lebt. Eine Hundeschule wäre für Sheldon eine schöne Unterstützung, um gemeinsam weiter zu wachsen und Sicherheit im Alltag zu gewinnen. Sheldon ist ein echter Sonnenschein, der einfach gerne bei seinen Menschen ist und die gemeinsame Zeit in vollen Zügen genießt. Sheldon kann jederzeit in seiner Pflegestelle besucht und kennengelernt werden. Er zieht gechipt, kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht und bringt seinen EU-Heimtierausweis mit. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle wird er gegen eine Schutzgebühr vermittelt. Wer möchte Sheldon ein Zuhause schenken und ihn auf seinem weiteren Weg begleiten? Danke, Silvie S.! Du hast Sheldon einen Namen geschenkt und ihm damit Identität gegeben. Ein großer Dank geht auch an Maria Josephine M., die eine monatliche Patenschaft für Sheldon übernommen hat. Stand: 08.05.2026

About Sheldon

What life with Sheldon looks like

Sheldon is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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. 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 Sheldon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sheldon?
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 Sheldon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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 Sheldon 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.
