Wilson

Mixed Breed · Male

Wilson was found on the street with other dogs. We don't know what he has experienced in his life so far. But his behavior suggests that he has had to go through a lot. At just about 8 kg, Wilson is a slender little dog - and is currently very reserved. He prefers to observe from a safe distance and needs people who don't demand anything from him, but give him the time he needs. Therefore, we are looking for a quiet, patient and understanding home for Wilson, where he can arrive at his own pace. Trust cannot be forced. With calmness, security and loving companionship, Wilson will hopefully discover step by step that people also mean well to him and that a home of his own can be a beautiful place. Wilson gets along well with other dogs. A confident and friendly first dog would even be a great help to him. Other dogs can give him security, provide orientation and help him find his way around his new surroundings faster. Cats have not been tested so far, but we can imagine that living with cats could be possible. Wilson is not a dog for people who expect quick progress. He needs people with patience, empathy and a big heart who are willing to give him the time he needs. In return, a very special little companion may be waiting here who can eventually show what's really in him. ❤️ Who wants to show Wilson that his past life doesn't have to determine his future?

DE·Show original

Wilson wurde gemeinsam mit anderen Hunden auf der Straße gefunden. Was er in seinem bisherigen Leben erlebt hat, wissen wir nicht. Aber sein Verhalten lässt vermuten, dass er schon einiges mitmachen musste. Mit seinen gerade einmal ca. 8 kg ist Wilson ein zierlicher kleiner Hund – und momentan noch sehr zurückhaltend. Er beobachtet lieber aus sicherer Entfernung und braucht Menschen, die ihm nichts abverlangen, sondern ihm die Zeit geben, die er benötigt. Für Wilson suchen wir deshalb ein ruhiges, geduldiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause, in dem er in seinem eigenen Tempo ankommen darf. Vertrauen lässt sich nicht erzwingen. Mit Ruhe, Sicherheit und liebevoller Begleitung wird Wilson hoffentlich Schritt für Schritt entdecken, dass Menschen es auch gut mit ihm meinen und ein eigenes Zuhause ein wunderschöner Ort sein kann. Mit anderen Hunden ist Wilson gut verträglich. Ein souveräner und freundlicher Ersthund wäre für ihn sogar eine große Hilfe. Andere Hunde können ihm Sicherheit geben, Orientierung bieten und ihm dabei helfen, sich in seiner neuen Umgebung schneller zurechtzufinden. Katzen wurden bisher nicht getestet, wir können uns aber durchaus vorstellen, dass ein Zusammenleben mit Katzen möglich sein könnte. Wilson ist kein Hund für Menschen, die schnelle Fortschritte erwarten. Er braucht Menschen mit Geduld, Empathie und einem großen Herzen, die bereit sind, ihm die Zeit zu schenken, die er braucht. Dafür wartet hier vielleicht ein ganz besonderer kleiner Begleiter, der irgendwann zeigen darf, was wirklich in ihm steckt. ❤️ Wer möchte Wilson zeigen, dass sein bisheriges Leben nicht seine Zukunft bestimmen muss?

About Wilson

What life with Wilson looks like

Wilson is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

An adult 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. 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 Wilson, answered.

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