APPA

Saint Bernard · Male · Puppy · 4 months

APPA is a Bernhardiner-male dog, born on 31.01.2026. He came to us at the animal shelter as part of a seizure. Originally, he was imported from abroad without adequate vaccination protection. APPA is looking for people who will show him the world with patience, consistency, and understanding. As a young puppy, he is just at the beginning of his life and has much to learn. This includes, among other things, house training, being left alone, and basic obedience and dog 101. APPA is very cuddly, clingy, and enjoys the company of his people. At the same time, he is age-appropriately playful, curious, and explores his environment with great enthusiasm. Due to his size and young age, he requires consistent but loving guidance to develop into a balanced companion. As a Bernhardiner, APPA is predisposed to various physical limitations, which his future owners should be aware of. Additionally, there are pronounced eyelid folds that are expected to be surgically corrected in the future. Prospective owners should be prepared to take responsibility for any potential future veterinary treatments. Since APPA was imported from abroad, a complete examination for travel diseases is still pending. -0Fax:. Some symptoms here are age-related.

Appa ist ein Bernhardiner-Rüde, geboren am 31.01.2026. Er kam im Rahmen einer Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim. Ursprünglich wurde er ohne ausreichenden Impfschutz aus dem Ausland importiert. Appa sucht Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld, Konsequenz und Verständnis die Welt zeigen. Als junger Hund steht er noch ganz am Anfang seines Lebens und muss vieles erst lernen. Dazu gehören unter anderem die Stubenreinheit, das Alleinbleiben sowie die grundlegende Erziehung und das Hunde-ABC. Appa zeigt sich sehr verschmust, anhänglich und genießt die Nähe zu seinen Menschen. Gleichzeitig ist er altersbedingt verspielt, neugierig und entdeckt seine Umwelt mit großer Begeisterung. Aufgrund seiner Größe und seines noch jungen Alters benötigt er eine konsequente, aber liebevolle Führung, damit er sich zu einem ausgeglichenen Begleiter entwickeln kann. Als Bernhardiner bringt Appa rassebedingt eine Veranlagung für verschiedene körperliche Einschränkungen mit, über die sich seine zukünftigen Halter bewusst sein sollten. Außerdem bestehen ausgeprägte Augenfalten, die voraussichtlich im weiteren Verlauf operativ korrigiert werden müssen. Interessenten sollten sich darauf einstellen, Appa auch hinsichtlich möglicher zukünftiger tierärztlicher Behandlungen verantwortungsvoll zu begleiten. Da Appa aus dem Ausland importiert wurde, steht zudem die vollständige Untersuchung auf Reisekrankheiten noch aus. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About APPA

What life with APPA looks like

APPA is a large puppy/kitten saint bernard dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 APPA, answered.

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