AVI

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 7 years

Rasse: Schäferhund Geschlecht: männlich Geboren: 01.09.2019 kastriert: nein Vorerkrankungen: keine bekannt Schulterhöhe: 68 cm Im Tierheim seit: Avi – das Riesenherz mit LKW-Power Avi ist ein großer, beeindruckender Schäferhund-Rüde und ein echter Herzenshund mit LKW-Power. Er zeigt sich bei uns sehr menschenbezogen, freundlich und liebevoll. Manchmal ist er noch etwas stürmisch – ganz nach dem Motto: Kopf zuerst, Gehirn später – ein bisschen grobmotorisch, aber durch und durch herzlich. Avi läuft bereits gut an der Leine, ist mit anderen Hunden meist unkompliziert und kennt den Maulkorb. Aufgrund seiner Größe und seines Temperaments suchen wir für ihn hundeerfahrene, standfeste Menschen, die ihm mit Ruhe und Klarheit Sicherheit geben. Ein Zuhause ohne Katzen wäre ideal. Wer einen treuen Begleiter sucht, der „zu viel Hund für Anfänger“, aber absolut gutmütig ist, wird Avi schnell ins Herz schließen.

About AVI

What life with AVI looks like

AVI is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Günzburg in Günzburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting AVI, answered.

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