How do I contact the shelter about Atila?

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 Atila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Atila 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 Atila 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 Atila 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 Atila 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.

Atila

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Atila – relaxed and robust senior lady → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: 2014 → Size / Weight: 50 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Chip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: unknown → Sponsorship possible: yes Description: Atila is an older female dog who, after many years of waiting, is finally seeking a quiet home where she can spend her golden years in peace. She is absolutely people-oriented and loves being close to her owners. Atila is also very compatible with other dogs and would feel at home in a household with additional calm dogs. As an older dog, Atila needs regular walks, but not long or strenuous ones, to maintain her health and mobility. She is still very robust and looks forward to finally discovering a bit of the world. It's time for her to lie on a comfortable bed or a soft couch and rest. Life with a senior like Atila is especially beautiful and valuable because one can enjoy the fruits of a long life story. She has already experienced a lot and has rich experience – nothing easily throws her off balance. We wish for Atila to finally have good food and treats and a safe and secure environment where she can feel comfortable and not be afraid. A home where she is loved and appreciated is exactly what Atila deserves.

Atila – entspannte und rüstige Rentnerin → Rasse: Mischling → Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 2014 → Grösse / Gewicht: 50 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung: Atila ist eine ältere Hündin, die nach vielen Jahren des Wartens endlich ein ruhiges Zuhause sucht, wo sie ihre goldenen Jahre in Frieden verbringen kann. Sie ist absolut menschenbezogen und liebt die Nähe zu ihren Besitzern. Atila ist auch sehr verträglich mit anderen Hunden und würde sich in einem Haushalt mit weiteren ruhigen Hunden wohlfühlen. Als älterer Hund benötigt Atila regelmäßige Spaziergänge, aber keine langen oder anstrengenden, damit sie ihre Gesundheit und Mobilität behält. Sie ist noch sehr rüstig und freut sich darauf, endlich ein bisschen was von der Welt zu entdecken. Es wird Zeit, dass sie auf einem bequemen Bett oder einer weichen Couch liegen darf und sich ausruhen. Das Leben mit einem Senior wie Atila ist besonders schön und wertvoll, weil man die Früchte einer langen Lebensgeschichte ernten kann. Sie hat bereits viel erlebt und hat eine reiche Erfahrung – so schnell bringt sie nichts mehr aus der Ruhe. Wir wünschen uns für Atila endlich gutes Essen und Leckerlis und eine sichere und geborgene Umgebung, in der sie sich wohlfühlen kann und keine Angst haben muss. Ein Zuhause, in dem sie geliebt und geschätzt wird, ist genau das, was Atila verdient hat. {youtube}

About Atila

What life with Atila looks like

Atila is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. 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.
