Tobias

Labrador Retriever · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hello, I am Tobias, I recently came from Madeira to Germany and am now starting to settle in. Here I appear very unkempt and seem to be challenging that. This fits well with my macho behavior. Therefore, I am looking for dog-experienced people who know what it means to live with a dog and who speak my language. Further information will follow shortly. If you would like to meet me now, you can contact the animal shelter to arrange a meeting. Until then, your Tobias.

Hallo, ich bin Tobias, ich bin vor kurzem aus Madeira nach Deutschland gekommen und fange nun an mich hier einzuleben. Hier zeige ich mich sehr verkuschelt und fordere das auch regelrecht ein. Das passt aber auch ganz gut zu meinem machohaften Verhalten. Deswegen suche ich hundeerfahrene Leute, die wissen was es bedeutet mit einem Hund zusammen zu leben und die meine Sprache sprechen. Nähere Informationen folgen in Kürze. Wer mich jetzt bereits einmal kennenlernen möchte, darf sich gerne hier im Tierheim melden um einen Termin zu vereinbaren. Bis dahin, euer Tobias.

About Tobias

What life with Tobias looks like

Tobias is a senior labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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 Tobias, answered.

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