How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Karlsruhe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Teddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Teddy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Karlsruhe 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 Teddy 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 Teddy 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 Karlsruhe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Teddy 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.

Teddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Teddy is a very lively and very affectionate male dog. He bonds strongly with his people and would like to be with them all the time. When Teddy is under stress, he starts biting the leash. Intensive work with him is still needed. The large male dog is, however, eager to learn and wants to please. He gets along well with other dogs by sympathy. With female dogs, he usually gets along well. Still, he is not suitable as a second dog because he tends to be jealous. For Teddy, we are looking for dog-experienced people without children. Although Teddy is an agile and sporty male dog, he has problems with his joints and therefore must not be overly stressed. Abrupt movements should be avoided. Normal walks and hikes are, however, no problem. His new home should be ground-floor. Teddy is a dog who likes to be outdoors. Therefore, we are looking for a home with a garden or property where he can spend a lot of time. Teddy is very alert and likes to keep an eye on everything. We are happy that you are interested in Teddy. Send us a direct application as a potential guardian for Teddy, and then you will become a guardian for Teddy. Of course, Teddy also welcomes single monetary and goods donations.

DE·Show original

Teddy ist ein sehr lebhafter und sehr anhänglicher Rüde. Er bindet sich sehr stark an seine Menschen und möchte am liebsten immer bei ihnen sein. Wenn Teddy unter Stress gerät, fängt er an in die Leine zu beißen. Hier muss man noch intensiv mit ihm arbeiten. Der große Rüde ist aber lernwillig und möchte gefallen. Mit anderen Hunden ist Teddy nach Sympathie verträglich. Mit Hündinnen kommt er in der Regel gut zurecht. Trotzdem ist er nicht als Zweithund geeignet, da er zur Eifersucht neigt. Für Teddy suchen wir möglichst hundeerfahrene Menschen ohne Kinder. Teddy ist zwar ein agiler und sportlicher Rüde, jedoch hat er Probleme mit den Gelenken und darf deshalb nicht zu stark beansprucht werden. Vor allem abrupte Bewegungen sind zu vermeiden. Normale Spaziergänge und Wanderungen sind aber kein Problem. Sein neues Zuhause sollte ebenerdig sein. Teddy ist ein Hund der gerne draußen ist. Wir suchen deshalb für ihn ein Zuhause mit Garten/Grundstück, in dem er sich viel aufhalten kann. Teddy ist sehr wachsam und hat gerne alles im Blick. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie sich für Teddy interessieren. Senden Sie uns am besten direkt eine Interessentenanfrage. Dann werden Sie Pate für Teddy. Natürlich freut sich Teddy auch über einzelne Geld- und Sachspenden.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Karlsruhe in Karlsruhe.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Joint problems - requires gentle exercise, no abrupt movements, needs ground-level home

🇩🇪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.
