Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Name: ATHOS Sex: Male. Born: 07/2023 In the Ark since: 23.09.2026 Origin: Kill shelter Shoulder height: 64 cm. Weight: 24 kg. Neutered: yes Handicaps: no Good with dogs: yes Children: has not yet met children Vaccinated and microchipped: yes EU pet passport: yes Adoption fee: €530 Athos is a very balanced Mioritic mix, whom we recently rescued from the kill shelter. Since then he has simply shown himself to be sweet, both to us humans and to his fellow dogs. Typical of a livestock guardian dog, he likes to do his own thing, but he always remains friendly. Athos already walks nicely on the leash, and even encounters with other dogs are no problem. Even in our volunteer apartment, this young male already settles in flawlessly. External stimuli, however, still unsettle him a little at times. We are now looking for a home for Athos with livestock guardian dog enthusiasts who appreciate the qualities of these special dogs and who can give Athos the guidance and security he needs. An existing first dog, or several, would certainly be no problem for Athos; he has shown himself to be consistently compatible with other dogs at our shelter. A rural home with a farm or garden would certainly suit him well. A

Kastriert: jaHandicaps: nein Verträglich mitHunden: jaKindern: kennt Kinder bisher nicht Geimpft und gechipt: jaEU-Heimtierausweis: jaSchutzgebühr: 530€ Athos ist ein sehr ausgeglichener Mioritic(-Mischling), den wir kürzlich aus der Tötungsstation gerettet haben. Seitdem zeigt er sich einfach nur lieb – sowohl uns Menschen, als auch seinen Artgenossen gegenüber. Herdenschutzhundtypisch macht er gerne sein eigenes Ding, bleibt dabei jedoch stets freundlich. An der Leine läuft Athos bereits prima, sogar Hundebegegnungen stellen kein Problem dar. Auch in unserer Volontärswohnung kommt der junge Rüde schon jetzt einwandfrei zur Ruhe. Außenreize hingegen verunsichern ihn teils noch ein wenig. Für Athos suchen wir nun ein Zuhause bei Herdenschutzhund-Liebhabern, die die Eigenschaften dieser besonderen Hunde zu schätzen wissen und die Athos die Orientierung und Sicherheit schenken können, die er benötigt. Ein vorhandener Ersthund – oder mehrere – wären für Athos sicher kein Problem, er zeigt sich bei uns durchweg verträglich. Ein ländliches Zuhause mit Hof oder Garten würde ihm sicher prima gefallen.

About ATHOS

What life with ATHOS looks like

ATHOS is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. in Germany.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting ATHOS, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ATHOS?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ATHOS on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ATHOS if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Arche Noah Transilvania 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ATHOS already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats 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 ATHOS 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 Arche Noah Transilvania e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know ATHOS 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.
