Adopt Arwen

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Arwen – some encounters feel like home → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: 02/2020 → Size / Weight: 44 cm / 15 kg → neutered: yes → vaccinated: yes → Microchipped: yes → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Not compatible with: unknown. Description: Arwen is not a female dog who clamors for attention. She does something much more subtle: she sneaks her way into your heart. Since her arrival at the foster home in 86438 Kissing, she has shown herself to be a curious, open-minded, and lively companion who is eager to learn and explore the world. She likes to move around, takes an interest in her surroundings, and brings just the right amount of curiosity to turn a simple walk into a small shared mission. Arwen is not a dog who wants to be constantly petted. She enjoys the closeness of her people, but can just as easily settle down and retreat. She has no need to be at the center of attention around the clock – but she does have the desire to belong. Like many dogs in a new phase of life, Arwen still meets some situations with a certain amount of uncertainty. This is not dramatic, but rather a sign that she wants to orient herself towards her people. Given time, calm, and clear guidance, she quickly shows how attentive and eager to learn she is.

Arwen – manche Begegnungen fühlen sich nach Zuhause an → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 02/2020 → Grösse / Gewicht: 44 cm / 15 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A. Beschreibung: Arwen ist keine Hündin, die sich lautstark in den Mittelpunkt drängt. Sie macht etwas viel Geschickteres: Sie schleicht sich ganz unauffällig ins Herz. Seit ihrer Ankunft auf der Pflegestelle in 86438 Kissing zeigt sie sich als neugierige, aufgeschlossene und lebensfrohe Begleiterin, die gerne dabei ist und Lust hat, die Welt kennenzulernen. Sie bewegt sich gerne, interessiert sich für ihre Umgebung und bringt genau die richtige Portion Entdeckergeist mit, um aus einem einfachen Spaziergang eine kleine gemeinsame Mission zu machen. Dabei ist Arwen kein Hund, der dauerhaft bespaßt werden möchte. Sie genießt die Nähe ihrer Menschen, kann aber genauso gut zur Ruhe kommen und sich zurückziehen. Sie hat kein Bedürfnis, rund um die Uhr im Mittelpunkt zu stehen – wohl aber den Wunsch, dazuzugehören. Wie viele Hunde, die sich in einer neuen Lebensphase befinden, begegnet Arwen manchen Situationen noch mit einer gewissen Unsicherheit. Das ist nichts Dramatisches, sondern eher ein Zeichen dafür, dass sie sich an ihren Menschen orientieren möchte. Gibt man ihr Zeit, Ruhe und eine klare Führung, zeigt sie schnell, wie aufmerksam und lernbereit sie ist. Arwen sucht niemanden, der sie beschützt – sie sucht Menschen, die

About Arwen

What life with Arwen looks like

Arwen is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Arwen, answered.

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