Wilbert

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 9 years

adoption requirements adoption process Now adopt this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Our Wilbert was locally adopted! His story: Wilbert – our senior. At around 13 years old, our senior hasn't shown much promise in his life. But he hasn't lost his trust in people. Once shy, now he comes out of his hut and shows himself to people openly. Wilbert is about 45 cm in size and weighs 14 kg. He doesn't know what life in a household is like and wishes for people who will empathetically and lovingly acclimate him to household life. Maybe he's still shy at first, but if you give him time and attention, he will surely warm up. He gets along well with other dogs. A confident only dog could make the acclimation easier for him. Our Wilbert is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated. He brings his EU pet passport and many thanks to Sandra R.! You gave Wilbert his special name!

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Unser Wilbert wurde lokal adoptiert! Seine Geschichte: Wilbert – unser Notfellchen. Mit etwa 13 Jahren hat unser Senior noch nichts gutes in seinem Leben gezeigt. Aber er hat das Vertrauen in die Menschen nicht verloren. Einst schüchtern, in seiner Hütte versteckt kommt er nun raus und zeigt sich den Menschen gegenüber aufgeschlossen. Wilbert hat eine Größe von ca. 45 cm und 14 kg. Er kennt das Leben in einem Haushalt nicht und wünscht sich Menschen, die ihn empathisch und liebevoll an ein Leben in einem Haushalt gewöhnen. Vielleicht ist er anfangs noch schüchtern, aber wenn man sich ihm widmet und ihm Zeit schenkt, wird er sicher auftauen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut. Ein souveräner Ersthund könnte ihm also die Eingewöhnung erleichtern. Unser Wilbert ist kastriert, gechipt, geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht. Er bringt seinen EU-Heimtierausweis mit und kann nach positiver Vorkontrolle und gegen eine verminderte Schutzgebühr von 325 Euro in sein Leben reisen. Vielen Dank Sandra R.! Du hast Wilbert seinen besonderen Namen geschenkt!

About Wilbert

What life with Wilbert looks like

Wilbert is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Wilbert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Wilbert?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Wilbert on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Wilbert if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Streuner 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Wilbert 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 Wilbert 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 Streuner e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Wilbert 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.
