Spencer

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 10 years

Parson-Russell-Terrier,Rüde,geb.: 20.04.2016 Spencer ist ein sehr aktiver Hund, der sowohl körperlich als auch geistig ausgelastet werden möchte. Genauso wichtig ist es aber auch ihm Ruhe beizubringen. Draußen ist er bei großen Spaziergängen immer mit Begeisterung dabei. Bei Spaziergängen zeigt sich das kleine Energiebündel von seiner besten Seite. Kinder sollten nicht in seinem neuen Zuhause sein, da Spencer auch anders kann. Er hat Temperament und lässt sich nicht alles gefallen und scheut sich aufgrund früherer Erfahrungen nicht mehr davor seine Zähne zu zeigen oder zu nutzen. Dennoch möchte er nur Teil einer Familie sein und gesehen werden. Zu seinen Bezugspersonen ist Spencer freundlich und freut sich jeden Tag aufs Neue. Das Tierheimleben schlägt dem 9jährigen Rüden jedoch auf die nerven weshalb wir uns für ihn Rasseliebhaber mit Geduld, Liebe und Erfahrung wünschen.

About Spencer

What life with Spencer looks like

Spencer is a large senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Coburg in Coburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Spencer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Spencer?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Coburg 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 — Tierheim Coburg 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 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 Tierheim Coburg 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.
