Talou

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The Talou from a German breeder is a lively, handsome young fellow who spent the summer at our shelter, Tierhilfe Franken Haus. Open-minded and curious, he greets everyone with a wag of the tail, always ready for a few cuddles that our playful little guy never gets enough of. Now, he’s moved to a foster home where he receives undivided attention and intensive training. Of course, his clever little head wants to learn the big dog ABCs and be given a purpose in life, because rasetypically, Talou shows an extreme thirst for knowledge and activity, but also a bit of a stubborn streak. If this is guided in the right direction, you get a wonderful, sweet, and smart companion who stands by you through thick and thin. The ball is already rolling, and with a few treats, learning becomes a breeze. Our golden boy is searching for a wonderful family with heart, time, patience, and lots of love!.

DE·Show original

Der von einem deutschen Züchter stammende Talou ist ein flotter, hübscher junger Mann, der bei uns den Sommer im Tierhilfe Franken Haus genießen durfte. Aufgeschlossen und neugierig begrüßt er jedermann, es könnten ja ein paar Streicheleinheiten abfallen, von denen unser lustiger Bub nie genug bekommt. Mittlerweile ist er auf eine Pflegestelle gezogen, wo er ungeteilte Aufmerksamkeit bekommt und intensiv mit ihm gearbeitet wird. Selbstverständlich möchte sein kluges Köpfchen das ganz große Hunde-ABC lernen und eine Aufgabe im Leben bekommen, denn rassetypisch zeigt sich Talou äußerst wissbegierig und aktiv, bringt aber auch einen kleinen Dickkopf mit. Wenn man dies in die richtigen Bahnen lenkt, bekommt man einen tollen, süßen und schlauen Partner, welcher mit einem in jeder Situation durch dick und dünn geht. Der Anfang ist schon gemacht und mit ein paar Leckerlis geht das Lernen wie „geschmiert“. Unser Goldstück sucht eine tolle Familie mit Herz, Zeit, Geduld und viel Liebe!

About Talou

What life with Talou looks like

Talou is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Talou, answered.

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