Teddy

Kuvasz · Male · Adult · 4 years

Teddy was found tied up, with his vaccination record, food, and everything that had been given to him along with him. Around strangers, Teddy is friendly, very interested, and curious, though at first also somewhat cautious. He forms a close bond with his primary caregivers quickly, is then very affectionate, and enjoys plenty of petting. He is familiar with a muzzle and lets it be put on without any problem, despite a brief hesitation. Teddy walks very well on the leash and is also easy to distract. Nevertheless, his future owners should be consistent and ideally bring experience with large dogs/livestock guardian dogs, since Teddy has a considerable weight of approx. 45 kg. Teddy does not like small dogs, so keeping consistent distance from them is important. He gets along with female dogs depending on their temperament, but he is rather not so fond of male dogs. Teddy is not suitable for a household with small children, cats, or other small animals.

DE·Show original

Teddy wurde angebunden aufgefunden – mit Impfausweis, Futter und allem, was man ihm mitgegeben hatte.Gegenüber fremden Menschen zeigt sich Teddy lieb, sehr interessiert und neugierig, dabei jedoch anfangs auch vorsichtig. Zu seinen Bezugspersonen baut er schnell eine enge Bindung auf, ist dann sehr anhänglich und genießt ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Einen Maulkorb kennt er und lässt sich – trotz kurzem Zögern – problemlos anziehen.Teddy läuft sehr gut an der Leine und lässt sich auch gut stören. Dennoch sollten seine zukünftigen Besitzer standhaft sein und idealerweise Erfahrung mit großen Hunden/Herdenschutzhunden mitbringen, da Teddy mit seinen ca. 45 kg ein stattliches Gewicht hat.Kleine Hunde mag Teddy nicht, weshalb hier konsequent Abstand gehalten werden sollte. Mit Hündinnen ist er nach Sympathie verträglich, Rüden hingegen findet er eher nicht so toll.Teddy eignet sich nicht für einen Haushalt mit kleinen Kindern, Katzen oder anderen kleinen Tieren.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy is a large adult kuvasz dog waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

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.

🇩🇪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 Teddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken 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 — Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken 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 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 Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken 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.
