Spike

Male · Young · 2 years

Mein bisheriges Leben verlief leider mehr als unglücklich. Und so bin ich zuletzt nun im Tierheim gelandet. Hier habe ich jetzt auch einige Zeit gebraucht um mich einigermaßen einzugewöhnen. Da ich Fremden gegenüber sehr misstrauisch bin, brauche ich definitiv eine längere Kennenlernphase. Bei Artgenossen entscheidet die Sympathie, aber Ihr Menschen mögt ja auch nicht jeden. Wenn jemand einmal mein Vertrauen gewonnen hat bin ich verspielt und auch sehr verschmust. Ich bin dann auch wirklich bereit zu lernen und höre auch super gut auf Kommandos. Eine Hundeschule macht also sehr viel Sinn. Was ich brauche, sind hundeerfahrene Menschen, die meiner Rasse schon Bekanntschaft gemacht haben. Vielleicht sind Sie das ja? Ich freue mich auf Ihren Besuch.

About Spike

What life with Spike looks like

Spike is a large young adult dog waiting at Tierheim Regensburg in Regensburg.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Spike, answered.

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