Verträglich mitRüden: JaHündinnen: JaKatzen: Ja, bei hundeerfahrenen KatzenBei uns seit: Juni 2019Aufenthaltsort: Pflegestelle bei Würzburg Duke ist ein junger Mischlingsrüde, der sich in einigen Situationen leider noch sehr unsicher zeigt. Orientierung findet er bei seinen souveränen Artgenossen, mit denen er sich bestens verträglich zeigt. Er benötigt ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause mit klaren Regeln, die konsequent und dennoch ruhig umgesetzt werden. Duke kennt standhafte Kinder und solange er seinen Freiraum haben darf, hat er hiermit kein Problem. Katzen sollten hingegen nicht im neuen Zuhause leben. Er ist stubenrein, fährt gut im Auto mit und bleibt mit den anderen Hunden auch schon ein bisschen allein. Wer Duke kennenlernen möchte ist auf der Pflegestelle bei Würzburg jederzeit willkommen.

About Duke

What life with Duke looks like

Duke is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Duke, answered.

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