Sherlock

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Sherlock is a calm and very social dog. Unfortunately, he has not yet been able to overcome his fear behavior completely. Our dog trainer is currently working with him. It will likely be a very long road for him to finally regain trust in humans again. However, it's moving forward, albeit in small steps. We are primarily looking for a new home for Sherlock as a second dog. He would love to orient himself around a confident first dog. A house with a fenced yard is a prerequisite for adoption.

DE·Show original

Unser kleiner Sherlock ist ein ruhiger, sehr sozialer Hund. Leider hat er sein Angstverhalten noch nicht ganz besiegen können. Derzeitig arbeitet unsere Hundetrainerin mit ihm. Es wird wohl ein sehr langer Weg werden, damit er endlich wieder Vertrauen zu uns Menschen findet. Es geht aber voran, allerdings in kleinen Schritten. Wir suchen vorzugsweise ein neues Zuhause für Sherlock als Zweithund. Er wird sich gern an einem souveränen Ersthund orientieren. Haus mit abgeschlossenem Grundstück bilden eine Vermittlungsgrundlage. Widerrist ca. 35 cm.

About Sherlock

What life with Sherlock looks like

Sherlock is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ostthüringen / TSV Greiz in Germany.

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 Sherlock, answered.

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