How do I contact the shelter about Skubbi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Mayen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Skubbi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Skubbi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Mayen 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 Skubbi 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 Skubbi 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 Mayen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Skubbi 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.

Skubbi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

22.05.2026: The neutered, socialized, ca. 7-year-old male dog is urgently seeking a stable, responsible new home. His former owner is ill and can no longer take care of Skubbi. On an emergency basis, he was moved to a loving foster home, but only for a short time, as it wouldn't be fair to the wanderlust-filled white dog to stay there permanently. His foster parents have been working with Skubbi a lot in the past weeks and he has learned a lot. So he has already successfully managed coffee runs and restaurant visits and always lies obediently at their feet. Skubbi loves driving in the car and behaves mucksmäuschenstill (mouse quiet). As mentioned earlier, he is incredibly happy in nature, especially in places with few people. Precisely here lies his small problem: crowds and especially children make the white male dog very afraid and put him into a real panic. Otherwise, Skubbi is the dream dog of a home on the countryside ❤️. He wants to please, loves being with his people, is socially compatible with both genders, and "can," according to his former owner, even get along with cats. Skubbi therefore seeks a home in the countryside, with quiet people, without small children who also love to be out in nature like he does, who maybe (not a must) have a sovereign only dog and would like to go through thick and thin with him. Now, whoever thinks "Skubbi, I've been looking for you for a long time" or would like to meet him in person, please contact us by phone or email and we will arrange a meeting at his foster home. It will be worth it :-) __________ Skubbi is urgently seeking a new home due to his former owner's illness. The 7-year-old neutered male dog is socialized, knows how to pull in a harness (Zughundesport), enjoys being in nature, and is a generally lovely guy. He no longer needs Zughundesport and would probably be happier with beautiful walks and strolls. His former owner is really looking for the very best place for Skubbi. Interested parties can contact us by phone or email. We will gladly forward the contact details to his current home.

10.06.2026 Skubbi haben wir inzwischen im Tierheim aufgenommen, weil er hier einfach mehr "gesehen" wird und das seine Vermittlungschancen hoffentlich erhöht :-) Seine Pflegestelle hat viel mit dem Großen gearbeitet und inzwischen fürchtet er sich auch nicht mehr vor ruhigeren, hundeerfahrenen Kindern. __________ 22.05.2026 Der kastrierte, sozialverträgliche, ca. 7jährige Rüde, sucht dringend ein festes, verantwortungsvolles neues Zuhause. Sein ehemaliges Herrchen ist erkrankt und konnte sich nicht mehr um Skubbi kümmern. Notfallmäßig durfte er in eine liebe Pflegestelle umsiedeln, allerdings nur für kurze Zeit, da man dem wanderfreudigen weißen Hund, auf Dauer nicht gerecht werden kann. Seine Pflegeeltern haben in den letzten Wochen schon viel mit Skubbi gearbeitet und er hat einiges lernen dürfen. So hat er schon erfolgreich Kaffee- und Restaurantbesuche gemeistert und liegt stets brav zu Füßen. Skubbi liebt es, Auto zu fahren und verhält sich dabei mucksmäuschenstill. Wie oben bereits erwähnt, ist er unglaublich gerne in der Natur unterwegs. Am liebsten dort, wo wenige Menschen anzutreffen sind. Genau hier liegt nämlich sein kleines Problem: Menschenansammlungen und besonders Kinder, machen dem weißen Rüden viel Angst und versetzen ihn in regelrechte Panik. Ansonsten ist Skubbi der Traum eines Hundes schlechthin ❤️. Er möchte gefallen, liebt es, bei seinen Menschen zu sein, ist sozialkompatibel mit beiderlei Geschlecht und "kann" - laut seines einstigen Herrchens - sogar mit Katzen. Skubbi sucht daher ein Zuhause auf dem Land, bei ruhigen Menschen, ohne kleine Kinder, die genauso gerne in der Natur unterwegs sind wie er, die vielleicht (kein Muss) über einen souveränen Ersthund verfügen und mit ihm durch dick und dünn gehen möchten. Wer nun denkt "Skubbi, nach Dir hab ich schon länger gesucht." oder ihn einmal persönlich treffen möchte, der meldet sich gerne telefonisch oder per Mail bei uns und wir verabreden ein Treffen auf seiner Pflegestelle. Es lohnt sich :-) __________ Skubbi sucht, aufgrund der Erkrankung seines Herrchens, leider dringend ein neues Zuhause. Der 7jährige, kastrierte Rüde ist sozialverträglich, kennt das Laufen im Gespann (Zughundesport), ist gerne in der Natur unterwegs und rundum ein lieber Kerl. Zughundesport braucht er inzwischen nicht mehr und würde sich über schöne Wanderungen und Spaziergänge vermutlich mehr freuen. Sein Herrchen sucht wirklich den allerbesten Platz für Skubbi. Interessenten melden sich gerne telefonisch oder per Mail bei uns. Gerne leiten wir die Kontaktdaten an sein jetziges Zuhause weiter.

About Skubbi

What life with Skubbi looks like

Skubbi is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Mayen in Mayen.

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.
