Teddy

English Bulldog · Male

French Fluffy Bulldog - Male Height: approx. 37cm It's finally time. Teddy is looking for his forever home - and maybe he's looking for you We would like to ASK YOU TO READ THE TEXT COMPLETELY Some dogs go straight into your heart. This small, rare long-haired Bulldog male has experienced more in his young life than he should have. His world suddenly changed when his previous owner had to give him up for health reasons. From a beloved home to an uncertain future - without understanding why. What remains is his hope. His love for people. And his desire to finally arrive somewhere. Teddy is not just a dog who "walks along". He is a heart on four paws. He seeks closeness, warmth, security. He wants to belong, be loved, lie next to his humans, hear their voices and know: Here I am safe. Here I stay. When Teddy looks at you, he looks at you with those big, honest eyes as if he would ask: "Do you stay with me? Will you never leave me again?" He is affectionate, playful and incredibly attached. He loves his toys, enjoys every caress and likes to drive - as long as he can be with his humans. Being alone is hard for him because he's afraid of being left behind again. And yet Teddy is a little fighter He has survived operations, fought back into life and shows every day how much joy in life he has! The brachy-OP made breathing easier, his elbows were operated on, and despite a slight suspicion of hydrocephalus, he enjoys his life - calmly, lovingly and full of trust in people. He needs special food, some consideration and people who understand him. Not perfect. Not flawless. For Teddy we wish for a quiet home with people with heart and responsibility. People who see him not as "dog" but as a full-fledged family member. People who are financially secure and stay with him - no matter what comes. A ground-level access, a garden to relax in and a lot of time together would help him finally arrive. Teddy is not looking for owners. He's looking for his people! People who cover him at night. People who enjoy his little stubborn moments. People who don't give up on him in difficult times but hold him more firmly in their arms. "You belong to us. Forever." Maybe you are exactly this person. Maybe Teddy is just waiting for your heart? Then please contact us Please give Teddy a home - and he will give you his whole life.

Rasse: Französische Fluffy-Bulldogge - Rüde Schulterhöhe: ca. 37cm Jetzt ist es endlich soweit. Teddy sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause – und vielleicht sucht er genau dich Wir möchten EUCH BITTEN DEN TEXT KOMPLETT ZU LESEN Manche Hunde gehen direkt ins Herz. Dieser kleine, seltene Langhaar-Bulldoggen-Rüde hat in seinem jungen Leben schon mehr erlebt, als er eigentlich hätte erleben sollen. Seine Welt hat sich plötzlich verändert, als seine Vorbesitzerin ihn aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abgeben musste. Von einem geliebten Zuhause in eine ungewisse Zukunft – ohne zu verstehen, warum. Was geblieben ist, ist seine Hoffnung. Seine Liebe zu Menschen. Und sein Wunsch, endlich irgendwo anzukommen. Teddy ist kein Hund, der einfach „mitläuft“. Er ist ein Herz auf vier Pfoten. Er sucht Nähe, Wärme, Geborgenheit. Er möchte dazugehören, geliebt werden, neben seinen Menschen liegen, ihre Stimmen hören und wissen: Hier bin ich sicher. Hier bleibe ich. Wenn Teddy dich ansieht, schaut er dich mit diesen großen, ehrlichen Augen an, als würde er fragen: „Bleibst du bei mir? Lässt du mich nie wieder allein?“ Er ist verschmust, verspielt und unglaublich anhänglich. Er liebt seine Spielzeuge, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und fährt gerne Auto – Hauptsache, er darf bei seinen Menschen sein. Alleine bleiben fällt ihm schwer, denn er hat Angst, wieder verlassen zu werden. Und dennoch ist Teddy ein kleiner Kämpfer Er hat Operationen überstanden, hat sich zurück ins Leben gekämpft und zeigt jeden Tag, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihm steckt ! Die Brachy-OP hat ihm das Atmen erleichtert, seine Ellenbogen wurden operiert, und trotz eines leichten Verdachts auf einen Wasserkopf genießt er sein Leben – ruhig, liebevoll und voller Vertrauen in die Menschen. Er braucht spezielles Futter, etwas Rücksicht und Menschen, die ihn verstehen. Nicht perfekt. Nicht makellos. Für Teddy wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen mit Herz und Verantwortung. Menschen, die ihn nicht als „Hund“ sehen, sondern als vollwertiges Familienmitglied. Menschen, die finanziell abgesichert sind und bei ihm bleiben – egal was kommt Ein ebenerdiger Zugang, ein Garten zum Entspannen und viel gemeinsame Zeit würden ihm helfen, endlich anzukommen. Teddy sucht keine Besitzer. Er sucht seine Menschen ! Menschen, die ihn abends zudecken. Menschen, die sich über seine kleinen Sturkopf-Momente freuen. Menschen, die ihn in schweren Zeiten nicht weggeben, sondern fester in den Arm nehmen. „Du gehörst zu uns. Für immer.“ Vielleicht bist genau du dieser Mensch. Vielleicht wartet Teddy genau auf dein Herz?? Dann melde dich bitte Schenk Teddy ein Zuhause – und er schenkt dir sein ganzes Leben. display: none !important; .lSSlideOuter .lSPager.lSGallery {

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a small adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Porz in Köln.

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 Teddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Porz 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 — Tierschutzverein Porz 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 Tierschutzverein Porz 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.
