adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Theodor has found his people! His story: The big polar bear full of love wants to share his den with you – Theodor is looking for his home! male dog at senior age seeks a loving family connection. Theodor appears to be younger than five years old – he would rather play and frolic all day long! He is very friendly and simply full of life. He likes to be outside in the garden and observe the surroundings, but he is immediately deterred from barking. He takes commands very well and already responds to his name. When strangers enter the house, he is initially skeptical and watchful, but can be easily guided. Theodor likes children! They are always welcome to come to him and hug him. In the house, Theodor is already very relaxed, accepts the rules and boundaries of living together, has no problems with unfamiliar noises or household appliances, and sleeps soundly through the night. With another dog, Theodor can stay alone, but he is still restless and sometimes howls when alone. During walks, Theodor is not yet so relaxed – when other dogs approach, he would so much like to play that one must be firmly on their feet. The foster home is working on leash control and recall. Getting into the car is still a challenge for Theodor, but he takes the rides very calmly. Theodor still finds cats interesting and is very friendly towards them. Theodor may have been used for protecting a sheep herd and then discarded – his torn ear and castrated tail tell a silent part of his story. But Theodor has kept his heart of gold – the large male dog is full of love for all beings! He is incredibly affectionate with all people, including children, fellow animals, and also cats. Currently, he often sleeps side by side with a black cat. Theodor is simply 50 kilograms of love and kindness! Theodor is looking for his family that has space for the large male dog – especially a place in their hearts! Theodor is at his prime, looks wisely and maturely upon the world, and wishes to experience that his love is unconditionally returned. He wishes for shared time under the open sky just as much as a snuggling spot in the house – and to fit in as a loving companion for all family members. Has the kind Theodor touched your heart? Would you like to have a big friend forever by your side? Theodor is ready to give all his love! Contact us via the website and get in touch. Theodor is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and flea-treated. He is sponsored by Maxi and Fabi, who gave him his sonorous name and thus a sense of identity. As of: 30.01.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Theodor hat seine Menschen gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Großer Eisbär voller Liebe möchte seine Scholle mit Euch teilen – Theodor sucht sein Zuhause! Rüde im besten Alter sucht liebevollen Familienanschluss. Theodor scheint jünger als fünf Jahre zu sein – er möchte am liebsten den ganzen Tag spielen und toben! Dabei ist er sehr freundlich und einfach lebensfroh. Er ist gerne draußen im Garten und beobachtet die Umgebung, lässt sich aber sofort davon abbringen, zu bellen. Er nimmt Kommandos sehr gut an und reagiert auch schon auf seinen Namen. Wenn fremde Menschen das Haus betreten, ist er zunächst skeptisch und wachsam, lässt sich aber gut lenken. Kinder findet Theodor toll! Sie dürfen jederzeit zu ihm kommen und ihn auch umarmen. Im Haus ist Theodor schon jetzt sehr entspannt, akzeptiert die Regeln und Grenzen des Zusammenlebens, hat keinerlei Probleme mit ungewohnten Geräuschen oder Haushaltsgeräten und schläft nachts wohlig schlummernd durch. Mit einem weiteren Hund kann Theodor alleine bleiben, ganz alleine ist er noch unruhig und heult zeitweise. Beim Spazierengehen ist Theodor noch nicht so entspannt – wenn andere Hunde entgegenkommen, möchte er so gerne spielen, dass man schon standfest sein muss. Die Pflegestelle arbeitet an der Leinenführigkeit und auch am Rück- / Abruf. Zum Einsteigen ins Auto muss Theodor noch überredet werden, die Fahrten aber nimmt er schon ganz gelassen hin. Katzen findet Theodor weiterhin interessant und ist ihnen gegenüber sehr freundlich gesinnt. Theodor wurde vielleicht für das Beschützen einer Schafherde eingesetzt und dann ausrangiert – sein eingerissenes Ohr und die abgetrennte Rute erzählen stumm einen Teil seiner Geschichte. Theodor aber hat sich sein Herz aus Gold bewahrt – der stattliche Rüde ist voller Liebe für alle Wesen der Welt! Er ist unglaublich herzlich mit allen Menschen, auch Kindern, mit Artgenossen und auch Katzen. Zurzeit schläft er oft Seite an Seite mit einer schwarzen Katze. Theodor ist einfach 50 Kilogramm Liebe und Güte! Theodor sucht seine Familie, die Platz für den großen Rüden hat – vor allen Dingen einen Platz in ihren Herzen! Theodor ist im besten Alter, blickt klug und erwachsen auf die Welt und möchte jetzt gerne erleben, dass seine Liebe bedingungslos erwidert wird. Er wünscht sich gemeinsame Zeit unter freiem Himmel genauso wie einen Kuschelplatz im Haus – und möchte sich einfügen als liebevoller Begleiter für alle Familienmitglieder. Hat der gütige Theodor Dein Herz berührt? Möchtet ihr einen ganz großen Freund für immer an Eurer Seite haben? Theodor ist bereit, all seine Liebe zu geben! Meldet Euch gerne über die Website und nehmt mit uns Kontakt auf. Theodor ist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und entfloht. Er wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro und mit gültigem EU-Heimtierausweis vermittelt. Wir bedanken uns bei den Paten Maxi und Fabi, die Theodor seinen klangvollen Namen und damit eine Identität geschenkt haben. Stand: 30.01.2025

About Theodor

What life with Theodor looks like

Theodor is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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. 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 Theodor, answered.

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