Achilles

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Großes Herz sucht klare Führung: Traumhund mit Baustellen sucht seine Menschen! Nun ist Achilles endlich auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm vor allem eines schenken können: Sicherheit, Orientierung und Vertrauen. Er ist ein sensibler Hund mit einer feinen Seele, der in seiner Vergangenheit leider nicht die klare Führung erhalten hat, die er so dringend gebraucht hätte. Aus seiner tiefen Unsicherheit heraus hat Achilles gelernt, Situationen selbst zu regeln. Fühlt er sich bedrängt oder überfordert, geht er deshalb eher nach vorne, anstatt sich zurückzuziehen. In der Vergangenheit kam es dadurch auch bereits zu Angriffen. Daher suchen wir für ihn ausschließlich erfahrene Hundehalter, die ihm mit Ruhe, Konsequenz und klaren Strukturen zeigen, dass er diese Verantwortung nicht tragen muss. Bekommt Achilles die nötige Orientierung, zeigt er sein wahres Wesen: Er ist unglaublich verschmust, anhänglich und baut eine enge Bindung zu seinen Bezugspersonen auf. Er genießt Nähe, liebt gemeinsame Kuscheleinheiten und möchte am liebsten immer mit dabei sein. Das Alleinebleiben beherrscht er bereits problemlos. Besonders berührend ist seine liebevolle Art im Umgang mit Kindern, bei denen er sich oft von seiner besonders sanften Seite zeigt.

About Achilles

What life with Achilles looks like

Achilles is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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 Achilles, answered.

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