Steve (Stene)

Mixed Breed · Male

compatibility with others: Gets along well with fellow animals. Current location: animal shelter Pirot (Serbien). Reason for listing: Steve, a found dog, is one of many dogs at the shelter who are desperately in need of a home. He has never been on a walk or used a leash or collar. However, we believe that with love and patience, he can learn this in a good dog training class, because Steve is very attentive, wants to please, and has a lot of energy. Unfortunately, there are no dog walkers or volunteers at the shelter. Over 150 dogs live there under extreme conditions. 24 hours in a kennel is not species-appropriate living. Steve is still so young and has his whole life ahead of him. It would be ideal if he could be rehomed with already existing fellow animals. A secure, fenced-in yard should be available. Children should already be older. Gets along with other dogs.

Verträglichkeit : Gut verträglich mit Artgenossen Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Steve ist einer von vielen Hunden im Tierheim, die dringend ein Zuhause suchen. Er kennt weder Spaziergänge noch Leine und Halsband. Wir denken aber, dass er das in einer guten Hundeschule mit Liebe und Geduld lernen kann, denn Steve ist sehr aufmerksam, will gefallen und hat viel Lebensfreude. Leider gibt es im Tierheim weder Gassigeher noch freiwillige Helfer. Die über 150 Hunde dort müssen unter extremen Bedingungen leben. 24 Stunden im Zwinger ist kein artgerechtes Leben. Steve ist noch so jung und hat sein ganzes Leben vor sich. Ideal wäre es, wenn er zu bereits vorhandenen Artgenossen vermittelt werden könnte. Ein hundesicherer eingezäunter Garten sollte vorhanden sein. Kinder sollten schon größer sein.

About Steve (Stene)

What life with Steve (Stene) looks like

Steve (Stene) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An 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 Steve (Stene), answered.

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