How do I contact the shelter about Smokey?

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

Can I adopt Smokey if I live in another country?

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

Smokey

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 2 years

Smokey kam zusammen mit Blue über eine Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim. Da Smokey an einer Herzerkrankung leidet, möchten wir als Tierschutzverein unterstützend zur Seite stehen und uns an den damit verbundenen medizinischen Kosten, im Rahmen unserer Möglichkeiten, beteiligen. Bitte sprecht uns hierzu gerne persönlich an. Leider wurde bei Smokey eine ggr. Aortenklappeninsuffizienz und mgr. Mitralklappeninsuffizienz mit Coanda Effekt festgestellt.Smokey wird zurzeit mit Medikamenten eingestellt. Smokey ist ein netter, junger Rottweiler-Rüde. Er spielt gerne und zeigt sich offen und freundlich im Umgang mit anderen Artgenossen.Smokey kennt bereits Hunde, Katzen und Kinder. Aufgrund seiner Größe, Kraft und seines sehr umgestümen Verhaltens sollten Kinder im neuen Zuhause jedoch schon älter und standfest sein.Der Besuch einer Hundeschule ist dringend zu empfehlen, um ihm noch mehr Sicherheit, gute Manieren und eine klare Führung zu vermitteln. Mit konsequenter, liebevoller Erziehung wird Smokey sich sicher gut weiterentwickeln.Smokey ist ein Listenhund, daher gelten für seine Haltung gesetzliche Auflagen, die je nach Bundesland variieren können (z. B. Wesenstest, Leinen- und Maulkorbpflicht, Haltegenehmigung oder Sachkundenachweis). Interessenten sollten sich vorab über die geltenden Bestimmungen informieren und diese erfüllen können.Smokey sucht verantwortungsbewusste, hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm Struktur, Auslastung und ein liebevolles Zuhause bieten. Je nach Tier und Größe kommen monatlich zwischen 30 und 120 Euro zusammen — dazu Näpfe, Körbchen, Leinen oder ein Kratzbaum. Impfungen, Wurmkuren und Prophylaxe sind planbar. Eine Operation oder eine Zahnbehandlung ist es nicht. Für Hunde kommen Hundesteuer und Haftpflichtversicherung dazu. Beides ist Pflicht, beides ist überschaubar — aber es sollte eingeplant sein. Schreib uns eine E-Mail an oder ruf uns an unter . Wir freuen uns, von dir zu hören.

About Smokey

What life with Smokey looks like

Smokey is a young adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Wipperfürth in Wipperfürth.

An young 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.
