Archie

German Shepherd · Female · Senior · 9 years

Breed: German Shepherd. Gender: male. Born: ca. 2021 Adopted by us since: July 2025 Behavior: Good day, my name is Archie. I am looking for two-legged friends who have a lot of time and patience to work with me. Additionally, the new people should be steadfast and very consistent. Because I am very excited and hectic in many situations. I don't really know what to do with all that energy, so I might spring on my people out of excitement. Also, everything is so exciting during walks that it's hard for me to enjoy the walk. I get along well with female dogs. In a quiet environment, I am very clingy and cuddly. Note: Archie can only be rehomed with dog-experienced people. He needs daily medication. Please arrange a meeting to get to know him. Contact: Tel.:

Rasse:Schäferhund. Geschlecht:männlich. Geboren:ca. 2021 Bei uns seit:Juli 2025Verhalten:Guten Tag mein Name ist Archie. Ich suche Zweibeiner, die ganz viel Zeit und Geduld haben, mit mir zu arbeiten. Außerdem sollten die neuen Menschen standfest und sehr konsequent sein. Denn ich bin in vielen Situationen immer sehr aufgeregt und dabei dann sehr hektisch. Ich weiß dann auch gar nicht so wirklich wohin mit der ganzen Energie, sodass ich dann auch meine Menschen anspringe vor lauter Euphorie. Auch beim Spazierengehen ist alles so aufregend, dass es mir schwer fällt den Spaziergang zu geniessen. Mit Hündinnen verstehe ich mich gut. In ruhiger Umgebung bin ich sehr anhänglich und verschmust.Hinweis(e): Archie wird nur an hundeerfahrene Menschen vermittelt. Er benötigt täglich Medikamente. Bitte vereinbaren Sie einen Termin zum Kennenlernen.Kontakt:Tel.: oder

About Archie

What life with Archie looks like

Archie is a senior german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Schleswig in Germany.

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 Archie, answered.

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