How do I contact the shelter about Arco?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Kleinheubach handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Arco if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Kleinheubach 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 Arco 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 Arco 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 Kleinheubach early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arco 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.

Adopt Arco

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Arco, born 2015 - German Shepherd - Dog My Story Arco is a 2015 born, neutered male German Shepherd who lost his beloved owner due to a death. Arco is a big people person. He is very friendly, loves to cuddle and enjoys any kind of interaction. He knows life in the house, is house-trained and can be left alone for a few hours after the adjustment period. Arco has a very pleasant, calm and balanced character. He walks well on a leash and is unobtrusive in encounter situations. He also likes to play the clown and plays very happily with his people. Arco is compatible with other dogs based on sympathy. Arco suffers from Hyperkeratosis, an excessive thickening of the skin. The illness is not dangerous or contagious, but requires regular care. He should wear a muzzle! Which he is used to. Arco was rehomed before, there were also two biting incidents during treatment of his paws (he did not have a muzzle at that time). Therefore he unfortunately came back to us and is now looking for his new happiness. Since his return to us he has not been conspicuous and can be handled / cared for well with a muzzle. For our heart dog we wish experienced dog people who will give him a chance and want to spend a lot of time with him. Due to his Hyperkeratosis, Arco can no longer go on long walks and is very content here. Facts neutered (Chip) microchipped vaccinated Are you interested in Arco?

Arco, geb. 2015 - Schäferhund - Hund Meine Geschichte Arco ist ein 2015 geborener, kastrierter Schäferhund-Rüde, der aufgrund eines Todesfalls sein geliebtes Frauchen verloren hat. Arco ist ein großer Menschenfreund. Er ist sehr freundlich, liebt es zu kuscheln und freut sich über jegliche Ansprache. Er kennt das Leben im Haus, ist stubenrein und kann nach der Eingewöhnungszeit ein paar Stunden alleine bleiben. Arco hat ein sehr angenehmes, ruhiges und ausgeglichenes Wesen. Er läuft gut an der Leine und zeigt sich in Begegnungssituationen unauffällig. Er macht auch gerne mal den Clown und spielt sehr gerne mit seinen Menschen. Mit anderen Hunden ist Arco nach Sympathie verträglich. Arco leidet an Hyperkeratose, einer übermäßigen Verhornung der Haut. Die Erkrankung ist nicht gefährlich oder ansteckend, benötigt aber regelmäßige Pflege. Hier sollte er einen Maulkorb tragen! Was er auch gewohnt ist. Arco war bereits vermittelt, hier gab es auch zwei Beißvorfälle bei der Behandlung seiner Pfoten (hier hatte er leider keinen Maulkorb getragen). Darum kam er leider zu uns zurück und sucht nun nach seinem neuen Glück. Bei uns war er seit seiner Rückkehr nicht auffällig und lässt sich mit Maulkorb gut behandeln /pflegen. Für unseren Herzenshund wünschen wir uns hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm eine Chance geben und viel Zeit mit ihm verbringen wollen. Arco kann / möchte aufgrund seiner Hyperkeratose keine langen Spaziergänge mehr machen und ist hier sehr genügsam. Fakten Kastriert (Chip) Gechipt Geimpft Du hast Interesse an Arco?

About Arco

What life with Arco looks like

Arco is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Kleinheubach 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.
