Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Spyke, born around 2023, has lived in the animal shelter on a chain for over a year because the pens are all full. For him, it feels like an eternity. Despite this, the approximately 36 cm long, 13 kg heavy Spyke loves cuddles so much, seeks proximity, and is delighted by every touch and every kind word. The neutered male dog gets along well with other dogs, plays like a puppy, and likes to run. Unfortunately, this only happens very rarely due to the chain life. This is terrible for a young dog. Spyke needs people who love him, laugh with him, and support and challenge him. People who show him that life is more than the daily, futile, and lonely wait.

Spyke, geboren ca. 2023 lebt seit über einem Jahr im Tierheim an der Kette, weil die Zwinger alle überfüllt sind. Für ihn ist es eine Ewigkeit. Dabei liebt der ca. 36 cm große, 13 kg schwere Spyke Streicheleinheiten so sehr, sucht Nähe, freut sich über jede Berührung, über jedes freundliche Wort. Der kastrierte Rüde versteht sich prima mit anderen Hunden, spielt Junghunde typisch und rennt gerne. Leider kommt das durch das Kettenleben nur ganz selten vor. Das ist schrecklich für einen jungen Hund. Spyke braucht Menschen, die ihn lieben, mit ihm lachen, ihn fördern und auslasten. Menschen, die ihm zeigen, dass das Leben mehr ist als das tägliche, vergebliche und einsame Warten. Selbstauskunft Jetzt für das Tier bewerben

About Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪

What life with Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 looks like

Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. in Biedenkopf.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 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 Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 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 Tierschutzverein Hundehilfe Hinterland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Spyke (Pauli) ♂ 🇩🇪 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.
