Ty

Australian Shepherd · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I am Ty. I came here because my people are going abroad and they didn't want to take me. However, maybe this was the right decision for me, as I haven't really had the chance to get to know much and I haven't been properly trained either. Therefore, I am looking forward to active people who are interested in my breed and know what kind of dog they are bringing into their home. One shouldn't just fall in love with my appearance - with me, it's all about the inner values. As a typical herding dog, I need the right mental stimulation and most importantly, I need to learn how to be calm. Dog training classes are highly recommended to help me learn proper behavior with other dogs and people. Up until now, I was allowed to do whatever I wanted and no boundaries were set for me. I haven't had much contact with other dogs and I don't really know how to assess them. Therefore, I will need to get to know my fellow animals first. I also tend to control people who, in my eyes, move too quickly - this needs to be worked on with me. I am a very impatient young man with many ideas in my head. One shouldn't leave anything valuable lying around when I'm around, as I tend to nibble on everything. However, I am generally very nice to people, but clear boundaries need to be set. I know some small children, but I tend to guard them, so only older children should live in my new home and they should already know how to handle dogs. Cats and other animals should not live in my new home. I know how to drive a car, and it makes me very happy. I have only been alone in the garden so far... I have not been left alone in the house. So, dear people out there, if none of this is a deterrent and you are interested in my breed and can imagine a life with me, please contact my foster parents quickly. I am getting rather bored here and I would like to get out soon.

Hallo, ich bin Ty. Ich kam hierher, weil meine Menschen ins Ausland gehen und sie wollten mich nicht mitnehmen. Vielleicht war das für mich aber auch genau die richtige Entscheidung, denn ich habe bisher leider nicht viel kennenlernen dürfen und erzogen bin ich auch nicht wirklich. Daher freue ich mich jetzt auf sportliche Menschen, die sich mit meiner Rasse beschäftigen und wissen, was für eine Art Hund man sich da ins Haus holt. Man darf sich nicht nur in mein Äußeres verlieben - bei mir zählen vor allem die inneren Werte. Typisch Hütehund brauche ich nämlich dementsprechende Beschäftigung und vor allem muss ich lernen, Ruhe zu halten - das ist das Allerwichtigste! Hundeschule ist mit mir dringend angeraten, damit ich den richtigen Umgang mit anderen Hunden und Menschen lernen kann. Bisher durfte ich eigentlich immer machen, was ich wollte und mir wurden keine Grenzen gesetzt. Mit anderen Hunden hatte ich bisher noch nicht viel Kontakt und weiß diese nicht wirklich einzuschätzen. Daher verbelle ich meine Artgenossen erstmal. Auch neige ich dazu, Menschen, die sich (in meinen Augen) zu schnell bewegen, zu kontrollieren - daran muss mit mir noch gearbeitet werden. Ich bin ein sehr ungeduldiger junger Mann, der noch viele Flausen im Kopf hat. Man sollte bei mir erstmal nichts was einem lieb und teuer ist liegen lassen, da ich noch dazu neige, alles anzunagen. Zu Menschen bin ich aber grundsätzlich sehr nett, man muss mir aber klare Grenzen setzen. Ich kenne zwar kleine Kinder, neige aber dazu, diese zu hüten, daher sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause nur bereits größere Kinder leben und diese sollten den richtigen Umgang mit Hunden bereits kennen. Katzen und andere Tiere sollten lieber erstmal keine in meinem neuen Zuhause leben. Autofahren kenne ich und das macht mir riesigen Spaß. Alleine bleiben kenne ich bisher nur im Garten... im Haus hat man mich bisher nicht alleine gelassen. So, liebe Menschen da draußen, wenn Euch das alles nicht abschreckt und ihr Euch mit meiner Rasse beschäftigt habt und Euch ein Leben mit mir vorstellen könnt, meldet Euch schnell bei meinen Pflegern. Damit ich hier schnell wieder raus komme, hier ist es mir nämlich ziemlich langweilig.... Bis bald, Euer Ty

About Ty

What life with Ty looks like

Ty is a adult australian shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

An 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 Ty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ty?
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 Ty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ty 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 Ty 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 Ty 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 Ty 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.
