Adopt Tobi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Tobi – he knows the fence – and dreams of life → Breed: mixed breed → Sex: male → Born: 09/2022 → Size / Weight: 53 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: n/a → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Tobi is an approximately three-year-old male dog with an open heart and a friendly, loving nature. Since his puppyhood, he has lived with his siblings in a boarding house, where he has shown himself to be particularly social, playful, and people-oriented. He enjoys every opportunity to romp, play, and receive affection – moments when you can feel how much zest for life he has. However, Toby's world has remained small so far. He only knows life in the boarding house. A home, walks through meadows, or the feeling of really running free, discovering, simply happily roaming through nature – these things are still unfamiliar to him. And yet – or perhaps precisely because of this – he has retained his cheerfulness and trust. It seems as if Tobi deep down knows that his time will soon come. That out there, a world awaits him, with people who will show him how beautiful life can be. This thought seems to make him happy and lets him look forward to the future with hope each day. Tobi is well socialized with other dogs and brings the best prerequisites to discover life outside the boarding house.

Tobi – er kennt den Zaun – und träumt vom Leben → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: männlich→ Geboren: 09/2022 → Grösse / Gewicht: 53 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: jaBeschreibung: Tobi ist ein etwa drei Jahre junger Rüde mit einem offenen Herzen und einem freundlichen, liebevollen Wesen. Seit seiner Welpenzeit lebt er mit seinen Geschwistern in einer Pension, wo er sich als ausgesprochen sozial, verspielt und menschenbezogen zeigt. Er genießt jede Gelegenheit, zu toben, zu spielen und Zuwendung zu bekommen – Momente, in denen man spürt, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihm steckt. Doch Tobis Welt ist bisher klein geblieben. Er kennt nur das Leben in der Pension. Ein Zuhause, Spaziergänge durch Wiesen oder das Gefühl, wirklich frei zu laufen, zu entdecken, einfach glücklich durch die Natur zu streifen – das ist ihm noch fremd. Und trotzdem – oder vielleicht gerade deswegen – hat er sich seine Fröhlichkeit und sein Vertrauen bewahrt. Es ist, als wüsste Tobi tief in sich, dass seine Zeit bald kommt. Dass da draußen eine Welt auf ihn wartet, mit Menschen, die ihm zeigen, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Dieser Gedanke scheint ihn glücklich zu machen und lässt ihn jeden Tag hoffnungsvoll in die Zukunft blicken. Tobi ist gut sozialisiert mit anderen Hunden und bringt die besten Voraussetzungen mit, um das Leben außerhalb der Pension zu entdecken. Natürlich muss er noch vieles ler

About Tobi

What life with Tobi looks like

Tobi is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Tobi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tobi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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.
