Tux

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Tux was taken in by us as a young puppy together with his mother, having been rescued from euthanasia. We are now looking for suitable people who want to give him a permanent home. He is lively and alert, as is typical for his age, and he is also a very open and friendly dog. Nevertheless, as a young dog, Tux still has a lot to learn before he can develop into a confident, well-balanced dog. For this, we would ideally like to place him with people who have experience with dogs, preferably living in the countryside, and who place great value on consistent training. Since Tux may be a herding dog mix, we strongly recommend attending a dog school to support his training. For Tux, we hope to find people who offer a balanced daily routine under competent guidance. Tux needs stimulation, but also rest. A healthy balance gives this young male a good chance to develop and become a wonderful companion. With clear guidance, boundaries and patience, good conditions for Tux's development are established. We do not place Tux with families with children, as experience has shown that the herding instinct is often directed at the children. If you enjoy dog training and would like to welcome Tux into your home, please feel free to contact us. Following a positive pre-adoption check, Tux may soon be vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated for fleas and move into his new home with an EU pet passport for an adoption fee of 495 euros.

Tux wurde als junger Welpe gemeinsam mit seiner Mutter aus der Tötung von uns aufgenommen. Nun suchen wir nach geeigneten Menschen, die ihm ein festes Zuhause schenken wollen. Er ist seinem Alter entsprechend aufgeweckt und lebhaft und außerdem ein sehr aufgeschlossener und freundlicher Hund. Nichtsdestotrotz muss Tux als junger Hund noch sehr viel lernen, um sich zu einem souveränen Hund entwickeln zu können. Hierfür wünschen wir uns an seiner Seite Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die bestenfalls ländlich wohnen und viel Wert auf eine konsequente Erziehung legen. Da es sich bei Tux eventuell um einen Hütehundmix handelt, empfehlen wir sehr, mit ihm eine Hundeschule zu besuchen, die seine Erziehung unterstützen soll. Für Tux wünschen wir uns Menschen die unter kompetenter Anleitung, einen ausgewogenen Alltag bieten. Tux benötigt Beschäftigung, aber gleichzeitig auch Ruhe. Eine gesunde Mischung bietet dem jungen Rüden eine gute Möglichkeit, sich zu entwickeln und zu einem tollen Begleiter zu werden. Mit einer klaren Anleitung, Grenzen und Geduld sind gute Bedingungen für Tux Entwicklung geschaffen. Wir vermitteln Tux nicht zu Familien mit Kindern, da das Bedürfnis zu hüten erfahrungsgemäß oftmals auf die Kinder angewandt wird. Wenn Sie Freude an der Hundeerziehung haben und Tux gerne bei sich aufnehmen wollen, melden Sie sich gerne bei uns. Bei positiver Vorkontrolle darf Tux schon bald geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Tux

What life with Tux looks like

Tux is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tux, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tux?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tux on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tux if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tux 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 Tux 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 SpecialDogs e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tux 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.
