How do I contact the shelter about Vince?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Passau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vince on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Vince if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Passau 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 Vince 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 Vince 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 Passau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vince 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.

Vince

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Vince ran away from his owners in Regen in January 2022, and was finally found after 15 long months on Easter Sunday 2023. Vince fell down a slope on a company premises in Sammarei near Ortenburg into the area of an oil collection tank, and was accidentally found by an employee. Previously, there were sightings in various regions, but he never came to anyone and could not be secured. Finally, Vince is safe, he was handed over to us by the overwhelmed owners or the facilitating organization. Vince has developed wonderfully within the animal shelter within a few weeks and has lost his fear of humans. He now quickly trusts other people, enjoys long walks, loves cuddles and human affection. We wish for the gentle, healthy Vince a loving dream home where he can spend a beautiful retirement with much care and attention. The compatible male dog is also welcome as a second dog.

Vince Im Januar 2022 ist Vince seinen Haltern in Regen entlaufen, und wurde erst nach 15 langen Monaten am Ostersonntag 2023 gefunden. Vince stürzte auf einem Firmengelände in Sammarei bei Ortenburg einen Abhang in den Bereich eines Ölauffangbeckens hinab, wurde von einem Mitarbeiter zufällig gefunden. Zuvor gab es immer wieder Sichtungsmeldungen in verschiedensten Regionen, jedoch ging er niemandem zu und ließ sich nicht sichern. Endlich ist Vince in Sicherheit, er wurde uns von den überforderten Haltern bzw. der vermittelnden Organisation übereignet. Vince hat sich im Tierheim innerhalb weniger Wochen wunderbar entwickelt und seine Scheu vom Menschen abgelegt. Er fasst inzwischen auch fremden Personen gegenüber schnell Vertrauen, erfreut sich an ausgiebigen Spaziergängen, geniesst Streicheleinheiten und menschliche Zuwendung. Wir wünschen uns für den gutmütigen, kerngesunden Vince einen liebevollen Traumplatz, wo er mit viel Fürsorge und Aufmerksamkeit einen schönen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Gern wird der verträgliche Rüde auch als Zweithund vermittelt. Weitere Infos unter Rasse: Mischling Geschl.: männlich, kastriert Geb.: 2015 Übersicht Vince Mai 11th, 2023Bettina Mittler

About Vince

What life with Vince looks like

Vince is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Passau in Passau.

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.
