Spike

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Mein Name ist Spike und ich suche ein neues ruhiges zu Hause für mich da meine Familie mich aus persönlichen Gründen nicht mehr halten kann. Ich bin 11 Jahre alt und werde am 23.5.2027 12 Jahre alt. Ich bin ein Pinscher-Mix und wiege ca. 11 Kg, bin regelmäßig geimpft worden, gechipt und habe einen Heimtierausweiß. Vom Wesen bin ich ein ruhiger und lieber Kerl, gehe gern spazieren, schlafe auch ganz gern und hole mir auch wenn ich möchte Streicheleinheiten von meinem Herrchen und Frauchen. Ich bin kein Kläffer, kann über mehrere Stunden alleine bleiben und freue mich wenn meine Familie zurück kommt. Autofahren ist auch kein Problem für mich. Zur Verpflegung, ich bekomme Josera Trockenfutter und morgens einen Denta Stick für die Zähne. Für gelegentliche Leckerlies am Tisch bin ich dankbar. Da ich ein Pinscher-Mix bin ist auch etwas Jagdtrieb vorhanden und sollte am Anfang lieber an der Leine bleiben. Wenn ich dann gut auf meine neuen Besitzer höre kann ich auch mal ohne Leine laufen. Bitte beachtet ich muss euch erstmal kennenlernen und beschnüffeln, sowie Vertrauen aufbauen und das braucht seine Zeit aber ich werde es euch danken. Ich suche nach Möglichkeit einen ruhigen Haushalt ohne kleine Kinder und Action. Ich hoffe ich finde ein neues zu Hause und freue mich auf euch. Interessenten melden sich bitte direkt bei:

About Spike

What life with Spike looks like

Spike is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Brilon in Germany.

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 Spike, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Spike?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Brilon 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 Brilon 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 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 Brilon 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
