Slow

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Slow is a male dog born on July 31, 2020, with a reserved, introverted nature. In new situations or when facing unfamiliar people, he acts cautiously because he lacks a pronounced self-confidence. In a safe, familiar environment, however, he can gradually warm up and develop trust. He requires a confident, clear, and secure leader. An insecure or inconsistent leadership style reinforces his need to take responsibility for himself. In such situations, he sometimes displays reactive behavior towards people and other dogs (so-called "lay aggression"). Current Status At present, Slow lives on a foster home in a dog center. There, he is very friendly towards people and also in contact with fellow animals he already knows. Towards unfamiliar dogs, he behaves neutrally even in direct encounters and remains well manageable.

DE·Show original

Slow ist ein am 31.07.2020 geborener Rüde mit einem zurückhaltenden, introvertierten Wesen. In neuen Situationen oder gegenüber unbekannten Personen agiert er zunächst vorsichtig, da er über keine ausgeprägte Selbstsicherheit verfügt. In einem sicheren, vertrauten Umfeld kann er jedoch allmählich auftauen und Vertrauen fassen. Er benötigt eine souveräne, klare und sichere Führungsperson. Eine unsichere oder inkonsequente Führung verstärkt sein Bedürfnis, selbst Verantwortung übernehmen zu wollen. In solchen Situationen zeigt er mitunter reaktives Verhalten gegenüber Menschen und anderen Hunden (sogenannte „Laienaggression“). Aktueller Status Derzeit lebt Slow auf einer Pflegestelle in einem Hundezentrum. Dort zeigt er sich sehr freundlich gegenüber Menschen und auch im Kontakt mit ihm bereits bekannten Artgenossen. Fremden Hunden gegenüber verhält er sich selbst bei frontalen Begegnungen neutral und bleibt dabei gut führbar.

About Slow

What life with Slow looks like

Slow is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Streunerfreunde e.V. / Streunerhilfe in Aschaffenburg.

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 Slow, answered.

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