Adopt Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Sherlock had to sadly return to the animal shelter again. A detailed description will follow in the coming days. Previous placement text - update from Training Group 2.0: Sherlock is 3 years old and has earned his chance at a family. We suspect a part of herding dog is in him. He can bark wonderfully at the fence and is already watchful. With people he knows, he is very loyal and attentive, he would very much like to do something with his people. With strangers, he is neutral. Of course, he already has basic manners, he can sit and give high fives, he goes well on the leash, and he and his training partner Heike are always up for fun. See also our video of the swings at the park. The big guy likes to snuggle, with Heike he lies - swups - on his back. Sherlock was given up because the family had to move into an apartment. He lived with a small child and a cat, so he is also neutral to nice with small people. We could not detect a prey drive, the ducks and geese at the park left him cold. The only time dogs in dog encounters get him excited is when he is made to realize he needs to pull himself together, and then it also works very well. Additionally, he is not fundamentally incompatible with male dogs, he regularly chill together with our giant Taizis in the run. Where is his family? House and garden are conditions for Sherlock Teddybears. And people who also like to engage with him. Sherlock was given up to us at the animal shelter. His owners could not take him to the new apartment. Sherlock is likely an HSH-mixed breed who also likes to watch over his home. Through barking, he announces visitors or barks when a car door closes. His owners can correct him and let visitors into the house, even if he doesn't always find it fun. With his trusted people, Sherlock is only nice, he wants to be liked - more like a German Shepherd in a herding dog coat. Sherlock goes well on the leash and also in the open. The young mixed breed can also bark on the leash. He can't just walk past other dogs. That has to be taught to him. HSH-typical, Sherlock is wary of strangers or new situations. He then likes to withdraw and watch the situation from a distance. In his family, Sherlock lived with a small child and a cat. With both, there were never any problems. Overall, Sherlock is a lively, seasoned dog who still has a lot to learn. With other dogs at the animal shelter, he has no problems.

Sherlock musste leider wieder ins Tierheim zurück. Eine genaue Beschreibung folgt in den nächsten Tagen. Damaliger Vermittlungstext - Update aus der Trainingsgruppe 2.0: Sherlock ist 3 Jahre alt und hat seine Chance auf eine eigene Familie so verdient. Wir vermuten es steckt ein Teil Herdenschutzhund in ihm. Er kann wunderbar am Zaun bellen und passt schon auf. Mit Menschen die er kennt, ist er sehr loyal und zugewandt, er möchte sehr gerne mit seinen Menschen was unternehmen. Bei fremden Menschen ist er neutral. Natürlich hat er schon Grundbenimm, Sitz und Pfötchen geben kann er auch, er geht gut an der Leine und ist mit seiner Trainingspartnerin Heike für jeden Spaß zu haben. Siehe auch unser Video beim Schaukeln im Kurpark. Schmusen tut der große Kerl für sein Leben gern, bei Heike liegt er - schwups - auf dem Rücken. Sherlock wurde abgegeben, weil die Familie in eine Wohnung umziehen musste. Er mit einem kleinen Kind und einer Katze zusammen gelebt, er ist also auch mit kleinen Menschen neutral bis nett. Jagdtrieb konnten wir auch nicht feststellen, die Enten und Gänse im Kurpark ließen ihn jedenfalls kalt. Einzig Rüden in Hundebegegnungen bringen ihn in Fahrt, macht man ihm rechtzeitig deutlich, dass er sich zusammen reißen soll, dann klappt auch dies sehr gut. Zudem ist er nicht grundsätzlich unverträglich mit Rüden, mit unserem riesigen Taiazis chillt er regelmäßig gemeinsam im Auslauf. Wo ist seine Familie? Haus und Garten sind für den Sherlock Teddybären Bedingung. Und Menschen die sich auch gerne mit ihm beschäftigen. Sherlock wurde bei uns im Tierheim abgegeben. Seine Besitzer konnten ihn nicht in die neue Wohnung mitnehmen. Sherlock ist vermutlich ein HSH-Mischling, der auch gerne auf sein Zuhause aufpasst. Durch Bellen kündigt er Besuch an oder bellt auch mal, wenn eine Autotür zufällt. Von seinen Besitzern lässt er sich korrigieren und lässt die Besucher ins Haus, auch wenn er es nicht immer toll findet. Mit seinen Bezugspersonen ist Sherlock nur nett, er möchte regelrecht gefallen - eher wie ein Schäferhund im Herdenschutzpelz. Sherlock geht super an der Leine und auch im Freilauf. Der junge Mischling kann aber auch mal an der Leine bellen. An machen Hunden kann er einfach nicht kommentarlos vorbeilaufen. Das muss man ihm noch beibringen. HSH-typisch ist Sherlock misstrauisch mit fremden Menschen oder neuen Situationen. Er zieht sich dann gerne zurück und schaut sich die Sache erst mal von Weitem an. In seiner Familie wohnte Sherlock mit einem kleinen Kind und einer Katze zusammen. Mit beidem gab es nie Probleme. Alles in allem ist Sherlock ein lustiger, verschmuster Hund, der noch einiges Lernen möchte. Mit anderen Hunden im Tierheim hat er keine Probleme.

About Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020

What life with Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 looks like

Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald in Erbach.

An young 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.

How do I contact the shelter about Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald 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 Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 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 Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 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 TiNO — Tiere in Not Odenwald early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sherlock, m, kastriert, geb. 11-2020 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.
