Toby

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 6 months

June 2022 | Growing | Rhodos Shelter Our sweet Labrador mix Toby is a precious treasure with a huge heart. He was recently taken from a family on Rhodes who kept him poorly outside and did not treat him properly. Now he lives with our other mischievous ones at the shelter and is looking for a loving home. He is waiting for his second chance. Toby was born in June 2022, the mother was a Labrador and the father is unknown. He is still growing and will weigh about 30-35 kg and reach a height of about 60 cm. He shows himself at the shelter very playful and affectionate towards all people. He also gets along very well with children and allows everything to be done with him patiently. Nevertheless, children should be taught and care should be taken that dogs are not toys. With other dogs it was never a problem from the start and he quickly found his place in the pack. He learns quickly from the older ones. The new family should be aware that Toby is in the best puppy stage at just under six months old and accordingly explores a lot and still has a lot to learn. But whoever decides for this little angel will certainly have a lot of fun and gain a friend for life. PAW HEROES e.V. Email: © 2022 PAW HEROES e.V. – All Rights Reserved.

*Juni 2022| Im Wachstum | Auffangstation Rhodos Unser süßer Labrador Mischling Toby ist ein großer Schatz mit einem noch größeren Herzen. Er wurde vor kurzem aus einer Familie auf Rhodos geholt, die ihn mehr als schlecht draußen gehalten hat und ihm nicht gerecht wurde. Jetzt lebt er mit unseren anderen Chaoten auf der Auffangstation und sucht ein liebevolles Zuhause. Er wartet auf seine zweite Chance. Toby wurde im Juni 2022 geboren, die Mama war ein Labrador und der Vater ist unbekannt. Er befindet sich noch im Wachstum und wird ca. 30-35kg wiegen und bis ca. 60cm groß werden. Er zeigt sich auf der Auffangstation allen Menschen gegenüber sehr verspielt und verschmust. Mit Kindern kommt er ebenfalls sehr gut zurecht und lässt alles geduldig mit sich machen. Trotzdem sollte den Kindern beigebracht werden und darauf geachtet werden, dass Hunde kein Spielzeug sind. Mit den anderen Hunden war es ebenfalls von Anfang an kein Problem und er fand schnell Anschluss und seinen Platz im Rudel. Er lernt sehr schnell von den Älteren. Der neuen Familie sollte bewusst sein, dass Toby mit seinen knapp 6 Monaten im besten Junghundalter ist und dementsprechend viel ausprobiert und noch einiges lernen muss. Aber wer sich für diesen kleinen Engel entscheidet, wird sicherlich viel Spaß dabei haben und einen Freund für´s Leben dazu gewinnen. PAW HEROES e.V.

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Toby, answered.

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