Adopt Anton

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

For a larger view, click on the image. Anton is now with us at the animal shelter. A home with heart and experience is sought – for Anton. It is with a heavy heart that we are looking for a new, safe home for our dog Anton. He is almost 5 years old, neutered, and vaccinated. Anton has reacted insecurely or overwhelmed in some situations – which has shown us that he needs more than we can provide in our current life situation. Therefore, we are now looking for a home that can offer him the necessary peace, experience, and security. He has a strong character, knows what he wants – and needs people who know what they are doing. Anton needs a home with experienced dog owners who can recognize his signals, guide him consistently and lovingly, and are willing to continue working with him. A quiet environment without young children would be important – ideally with a house and garden. He loves walks, adores sniffing around, and is affectionate and sensitive. With clear guidance, he can be a loyal companion. If you would like to give a special four-legged friend with a big heart and small quirks a real chance, please get in touch. We are open to inquiries and a gentle introduction.

Zuhause mit Herz und Erfahrung gesucht – für Anton Schweren Herzens suchen wir ein neues, sicheres Zuhause für unseren Hund Anton. Er ist fast 5 Jahre alt, kastriert und geimpft. Anton hat in manchen Situationen unsicher oder überfordert reagiert – was uns gezeigt hat, dass er mehr braucht, als wir ihm in unserer aktuellen Lebenssituation geben können. Deshalb suchen wir nun ein Zuhause, das ihm die nötige Ruhe, Erfahrung und Sicherheit bieten kann. Er bringt Charakter mit, weiß, was er will – und braucht Menschen, die wissen, was sie tun. Anton braucht ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die seine Signale erkennen, ihn konsequent und liebevoll führen und bereit sind, weiter mit ihm zu arbeiten. Ein ruhiges Umfeld ohne kleine Kinder wäre wichtig – idealerweise mit Haus und Garten. Er liebt Spaziergänge, schnüffelt für sein Leben gern, ist verschmust und sensibel. Mit klarer Führung kann er ein treuer Begleiter sein. Wenn du einem besonderen Vierbeiner mit großem Herz und kleinen Macken eine echte Chance geben möchtest, melde dich gerne. Wir stehen für Rückfragen und ein behutsames Kennenlernen offen.

About Anton

What life with Anton looks like

Anton is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Weil am Rhein e.V. in Weil am Rhein.

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 Anton, answered.

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