Volker

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 7 months

I've had a tough life. I lived on the streets near Tudor Vladimirescu Monastery in Romania. It's a place where animal abandonment is sadly common. Many of my kind don't make it and often end up being cruelly poisoned. 💔 But then Bianca and Silvia came! As part of their animal welfare work, they rescued me from the streets and brought me to safety. And as always, our women couldn't leave empty-handed. ❤️ They also rescued Ficatu. We're real "blood brothers" and we're always thrilled to see each other. 🐶🐶❤️ But now I want to tell you about me: I'm a people-oriented dog and I love being close to my humans. I adore pets and attention - I just love it. I want to belong, be loved, and finally experience what a real home is like. 🥰 I've had so much behind me and I'm hoping for people who will give me a chance. People who won't leave me behind again and who I can share my life with. 🏡 Maybe you're my soulmate? A cozy bed, loving hands, and a family that won't let me go - that's all I need to be happy.

Mein bisheriges Leben war alles andere als schön. Ich lebte auf der Straße am Kloster Tudor Vladimirescu in Rumänien. Ein Ort, an dem das Aussetzen von Tieren leider trauriger Alltag ist. Viele meiner Artgenossen haben dort keine Chance und enden viel zu oft durch grausame Vergiftungen. 💔 Doch dann kamen Bianca und Silvia! Im Rahmen ihrer Tierschutzarbeit haben sie mich von der Straße gerettet und in Sicherheit gebracht. Und wie so oft konnten unsere Frauen natürlich nicht mit leeren Händen zurückfahren. ❤️ Gemeinsam mit mir wurde auch Ficatu gerettet. Wir sind echte „Blutsbrüder“ und freuen uns jedes Mal riesig, wenn wir uns sehen. 🐶🐶❤️ Aber jetzt möchte ich euch etwas über mich erzählen: Ich bin ein menschenbezogener Hund und suche gerne die Nähe zu meinen Zweibeinern. Streicheleinheiten genieße ich sehr und Aufmerksamkeit finde ich einfach wunderbar. Ich möchte dazugehören, geliebt werden und endlich erfahren, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. 🥰 Ich habe so viel hinter mir und wünsche mir nun Menschen, die mir eine Chance geben. Menschen, die mich nicht wieder im Stich lassen und mit denen ich gemeinsam durchs Leben gehen darf. 🏡 Vielleicht bist genau DU mein Herzensmensch? Ein eigenes Körbchen, liebevolle Hände und eine Familie, die mich nie wieder gehen lässt – mehr brauche ich nicht, um glücklich zu sein.

About Volker

What life with Volker looks like

Volker is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Volker, answered.

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