Theodore

Mixed Breed · Male

Theodore is a very sweet old fellow who loves visits, affection, and even short outings. He arrived at the shelter in poor general condition: parasites had left him half-bald on his back, and he was very thin and visibly weakened. After a partial shave, a bath, a cozy, clean environment, and regular meals, Theodore improved quickly, and we now have a dog who is fit for his age, eager for adventures, and whose coat is slowly growing back. He clearly feels comfortable in his own skin again 🙂 Theodore greets people consistently in a friendly way and expects nothing bad. He gets along well with other dogs, though he mostly coexists with them and shows little direct interest. Theodore is a cuddly type, walks wonderfully on the leash, takes an interest in his surroundings, and really appreciates a comfortable spot to rest. Theodore can travel abroad starting in September.

DE·Show original

Theodore ist ein sehr lieber alter Kerl, der sich sehr über Besuch, Zuwendung + auch kleine Ausflüge freut – Er kam in schlechtem Allgemeinzustand ins Tierheim, war parasitärbedingt halb kahl hinten, sehr dünn + sichtbar geschwächt – nach einer teilweisen Schur, einem Bad, gemütlicher, sauberer Umgebung + regelmäßigem Essen ging es schnell bergauf mit Theodore + nun steht uns ein altersgemäß fitter Hund gegenüber, der Lust hat auf Unternehmungen + dessen Fell langsam wieder sprießt – er fühlt sich wieder sichtbar wohl in seiner Haut 🙂 Theodore begrüßt Menschen durchweg freundlich + erwartet nichts Schlechtes, mit Artgenossen kommt er gut zurecht, koexistiert aber in erster Linie + zeigt wenig direktes Interesse – Theodore ist ein verschmuster Typ, er geht super an der Leine, zeigt Interesse an seiner Umwelt + weiß gemütliche Plätze sehr zu schätzen – Theodore kann ab September ausreisen.

About Theodore

What life with Theodore looks like

Theodore is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Brunopet e.V. in Germany.

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 Theodore, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Theodore?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Freundeskreis Brunopet e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Theodore on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Theodore if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Freundeskreis Brunopet 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Theodore 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 Theodore 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 Freundeskreis Brunopet e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Theodore 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.
