Spyki

Labrador Retriever · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

Spyki kam im ungefähren Alter von 3 Jahren zu uns und war sehr schwierig. Er mochte keine Männer, keine Kinder und sprang auch über 2 Meter hohe Zäune. Er war nicht leinenführig und unberechenbar. Es stellte sich heraus, dass er bis dahin auf einem Balkon in der 6. Etage gehalten wurde, von Männern verprügelt und von Kindern geärgert wurde. Mittlerweile sind viele Jahre vergangen, er ist nun kastriert usw., ist leinenführig und mag auch die Männer, die er seit Jahren kennt und denen er vertraut. Kinder sind weiterhin ein rotes Tuch für ihn. Über Zäune springt er nicht mehr, er ist dafür zu alt. Wir würden ihm ein ruhiges Zuhause wünschen für seine letzten Jahre. Ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, ohne Stress, dafür mit viel Liebe.

About Spyki

What life with Spyki looks like

Spyki is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Berndshof 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Spyki, answered.

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