Walter

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

We are currently looking for a foster home for Walter, or for people with dog experience. He is a sweet dog and gets along well with people. Nevertheless, he still needs consistent training in a few areas. He tends to be dominant and is frequently involved in conflicts with the other dogs at the shelter. It is quite possible that he will show this behavior less in a new environment. Still, he needs a lot of guidance and consistent training from experienced people. It is also important to us that Walter moves to a rural, rather quiet environment. Are you interested in offering Walter a foster home? If so, please get in touch with us.

Für Walter suchen wir aktuell eine Pflegestelle bzw. Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung. Er ist ein lieber Hund und kommt gut mit Menschen zurecht. Dennoch muss mit ihm aber noch an der ein oder anderen Sache konsequent trainiert werden muss. Er ist eher dominant und häufiger in Konflikte mit den anderen Hunden vor Ort verwickelt. Es ist gut möglich, dass er dieses Verhalten weniger zeigt, wenn er in ein neues Umfeld kommt. Dennoch benötigt er viel Anleitung und eine konsequente Erziehung durch erfahrene Menschen. Außerdem ist uns wichtig, dass Walter in eine ländliche, eher ruhige Umgebung zieht. Sie haben Interesse daran Walter eine Pflegestelle zu bieten? Dann melden Sie sich bei uns.

About Walter

What life with Walter looks like

Walter 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 Walter, answered.

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