How do I contact the shelter about Tobi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hannover handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tobi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tobi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hannover 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 Tobi 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 Tobi 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 Tierheim Hannover early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tobi 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.

Adopt Tobi

Mixed Breed · Male

Tobi has come to the shelter, as he bit a child under duress. As a result, the male dog had to undergo a behavioral assessment, which he passed so well that he was released from the martingale collar requirement. However, his new owners still need to fulfill a few conditions. The mixed breed originally came from Poland, he is house-trained, and can be left alone. Tobi has a hard time with situations where he has no "escape route," but he can now handle this well with his trusted people. His basic obedience is good; he walks calmly on a leash, but he may bark at other dogs in exceptional cases. He is still very compatible, even though he only rarely takes other dogs seriously and prefers to irritate them. Young adults aged 16 and over would be no problem for Tobi in the household, but when guests visit, Tobi should be given appropriate alternatives. Please note: Tobi was classified as a dangerous dog. For more information on dangerous dogs, see further down on this page under the section "Further Information in Video Form." Dangerous Dog: Tobi was classified as a dangerous dog.

Tobi ist zu und gekommen, da er auf Bedrängung eines Kindes, zugebissen hat. Daraufhin musste der Rüde einen Wesenstest machen. Diesen hat er so gut bestanden, dass er von der Maulkorbpflicht befreit wurde. Allerdings müssen seine neuen Halter trotzdem ein paar Auflagen erfüllen. Der Mischling kommt ursprünglich aus Polen, er ist stubenrein und kann alleine bleiben. Tobi kommt mit Situationen in denen er keinen "Fluchtweg" hat nur schwer zurecht, bei seinen Bezugspersonen kann er dies mittlerweile aber gut aushalten. Sein Grundgehorsam ist gut, er geht brav an der Leine, bellt in Ausnahmefällen aber andere Hunde an. Er ist trotzdem sehr gut verträglich, auch wenn er andere Hunde nur selten für voll nimmt und am liebsten ärgert. Junge Erwachsene ab 16 Jahren im Haushalt wären für Tobi kein Problem, lediglich bei Besuch muss man Tobi entsprechende Ausweichmöglichkeiten gewähren. Bitte beachten: Tobi wurde als gefährlich eingestuft. Informationen zum Thema Gefahrhunde finden Sie weiter unten auf dieser Seite unter dem Punkt "Weitere Infos in Filmform".

About Tobi

What life with Tobi looks like

Tobi is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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.

Note from the shelter: Classified as dangerous dog due to bite incident. Requires special permits and compliance with regulations. Needs escape routes in stressful situations and careful management with visitors.

🇩🇪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.
