Spencer

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Update: The little cuddly Spencer already has his Trapo ticket safely in hand. He is holding it tightly between his paws, because on 23.10. the little fellow is heading to a foster placement in 23560 Lübeck. And he is, so to speak, doubly lucky, as interested people are already waiting to meet him after his arrival in Lübeck. Hip, hip, hooray, Spencer!!! Spencer, born 09/2025 and only 35 cm tall, was simply abandoned at a hardware store. While his finders only wanted to buy materials, he sat there – quiet, friendly, hopeful. A young dog who did not understand why no one came back. Our animal-welfare team took him in because he is sweet, gentle and trusting: Welcome to the ViN family, little Spencer! Spencer is now looking for a foster home or directly for his own home, where he can finally arrive. He is curious, open to everything new and ready to learn the basics of being a dog. He shows himself to be friendly and social with other dogs. And Spencer has also passed the cat test with flying colors. A little dog boy who, despite his difficult start, still gives his trust – and simply wants to belong. Spencer needs people who give him security, have patience and show him how beautiful a dog's life can be. A home with clear routines, calm and ideally a friendly first dog would be ideal. Spencer can travel from 23.10. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and will be placed with a protection contract after a positive pre-check. General note on our animals: Our dogs in Romania are visited regularly so that we can reassess their behavior and development over time. These personal impressions help us greatly in presenting as accurate a picture as possible of each individual dog. However, we would like to point out that a dog in a new environment – with new people, new routines and new impressions – may also show itself differently. This is completely normal and part of any process of change. Many dogs even open up more quickly at home and show sides that were not visible at the shelter at all. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but are not a guarantee of every behavior in a new environment. They are meant to provide guidance and show how the dog presents itself at the shelter – and what potential lies within him. We are convinced that with patience, understanding and a loving environment, every dog can find its way and continue to develop positively.

Update: Auch der kleine knuffige Spencer hat bereits sein Trapo-Ticktet sicher. Das hält er fest in zwischen seinen Pfoten, denn bereits am 23.10. geht es für den kleinen Hundemann nach 23560 Lübeck auf eine Pflegestelle. Und auch er hat quasi doppeltes Glück, denn auf ihn warten bereits Interessenten, die ihn nach seiner Ankunft in Lübeck kennenlernen wollen. Hip, hip, hooray, Spencer!!!Spencer, geboren 09/2025 und nur 35 cm klein, wurde einfach an einem Baumarkt ausgesetzt. Während seine Finder eigentlich nur Materialien kaufen wollten, saß er dort – still, freundlich, hoffnungsvoll. Ein junger Hund, der nicht verstand, warum niemand zurückkam.Unser Tierschützer-Team hat ihn mitgenommen, weil er lieb, sanft und zutraulich ist: Herzlich willkommen in der ViN-Familie, kleiner Spencer! Jetzt sucht Spencer eine Pflegestelle oder direkt sein Zuhause, in dem er ankommen darf. Er ist neugierig, offen für alles Neue und bereit, das Hunde‑Einmaleins zu lernen. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt er sich freundlich und sozial. Und auch den Katzentest hat Spencer mit Bravour bestanden. Ein kleiner Hundejunge, der trotz seines schweren Starts Vertrauen schenkt – und einfach dazugehören möchte.Spencer braucht Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben, Geduld haben und ihm zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Ein Zuhause mit klaren Abläufen, Ruhe und gerne einem freundlichen Ersthund wäre ideal.Spencer kann ab dem 23.10. ausreisen. Spencer ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Spencer

What life with Spencer looks like

Spencer is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Spencer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Spencer?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Spencer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Spencer if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Spencer 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.
