Vader

Border Collie · Male

Vader had a home. He lived in Spain with a woman, and he was doing well. Unfortunately, the woman can no longer care for the handsome male due to personal and financial reasons. She has given him up to the animal shelter with a heavy heart. Vader must first digest this. This is not easy for him. He is trying to adapt to his new life and get used to the fact that his human has left him every day. The Collie-Mix male is a very pleasant dog. He is very "polite" and "considerate," one might say. Vader is happy to be in contact with us humans. He needs it. He needs the close bond. He is still a bit reserved in direct, close contact; who can blame him. But he enjoys petting, loving attention. Vader needs a loving person who will comfort him and instill him with new life. He is at the best age and we are sure that he will fully thaw in his new home and make his human very happy. He gets along very well with the other dogs on the large foster home. He also has no problems with cats. A real dream dog. He can ride well in the car, stay alone for a while, and walk well on a leash. Where may the dear Vader now arrive, forever, and let his grieving soul heal? Please note: The responses from the animal shelters reflect the current behavior of those here.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Vader hatte ein Zuhause. Er lebte in Spanien bei einer Frau, es ging ihm gut. Leider kann die Frau sich aus privaten und finanziellen Gründen nicht mehr ausreichend um den hübschen Rüden kümmern. Sie hat ihn schweren Herzens im Tierheim abgegeben.Vader muss das erstmal verdauen. Das ist nicht leicht für ihn.Dabei versucht er sich Tag für Tag seinem neuen Leben anzupassen und sich daran zu gewöhnen, dass sein Mensch ihn verlassen hat.Der Collie-Mix Rüde ist ein sehr angenehmer Hund. Er ist sehr „höflich“ und „zuvorkommend“ möchte man fast sagen. Vader ist gerne mit uns Menschen im Kontakt. Er braucht das auch. Er braucht die enge Bindung.Noch ist er etwas verhalten im direkten, engen Kontakt; wer mag es ihm verdenken. Aber er freut sich über Streicheleinheiten, über liebevolle Zuwendung.Vader braucht nun eine liebevolle Person die ihn tröstet und die ihm wieder Lebensfreude einhaucht. Er ist im besten Alter und wir sind uns sicher, dass er in seinem neuen Zuhause vollends auftauen und seinen Menschen sehr glücklich machen wird.Mit den anderen Hunden auf der großen Pflegestelle versteht er sich sehr gut. Auch mit Katzen hat der wunderschöne Bube keine Probleme. Ein echter Traumhund.Er kann gut im Auto mitfahren, bleibt auch mal problemlos alleine und läuft gut an der Leine.Wo darf der liebe Vader nun ankommen, für immer, und seine trauernde Seele heilen lassen?

About Vader

What life with Vader looks like

Vader is a large border collie dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

A dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vader, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vader?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vader on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vader if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierischgeholfen e.V. whether they will for Vader, what they require (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 Vader already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Vader. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierischgeholfen e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Vader isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierischgeholfen e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vader 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.
