How do I contact the shelter about Axo?

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

Can I adopt Axo if I live in another country?

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

over: 🍀 Other dogs: by sympathy Other animals: unknown Children: no Dog experience: very valuable experience Problems: grumpy Opa Special: knows muzzles, suitable as a farm dog Hello, I am Axo. My story is also rather sad. My master, with whom I lived for almost 10 years, sadly passed away, and I ended up at the animal shelter by a roundabout way. Here, I show myself as a loving, grumpy Opa 😉 I love my trusted people, but it takes me some time to trust you and let you pet me. I communicate very clearly and am never unfair. If something is too much for me, I hum and let you be, and I am never out for a fight. I was kept as a farm dog and would like to do that again, or live in a house with a large, fenced-in garden. I am clearly showing to strangers that they have nothing here. My trusted people are also protected by me, if you do not take the lead. Who can help me make this dream come true? If you give me a chance, I want to show you what a loving dog I can be. Write me an email and I hope we can get to know each other:. This animal must be handled with a muzzle.

Andere Hunde: nach Sympathie Andere Tiere: unbekannt Kinder: nein Hundeerfahrung: Hundeerfahrung sehr sinnvoll Probleme: grumpy Opa Besonderheit: kennt Maulkorb, als Hofhund geeignet Hallo, ich bin der Axo. Meine Geschichte ist auch eher eine traurige. Hier zeige ich mich als liebevoller, grumpy Opa 😉 ich liebe meine Bezugspersonen, allerdings brauche ich da einiges an Zeit, bis ich euch vertraue und lasse mich dann auch gerne streicheln. Ich kommuniziere sehr klar und bin nie unfair. Wenn mir etwas zu viel ist, brumme ich und lässt man mich dann, bin ich auch nie auf Streit aus. Ich wurde als Hofhund gehalten und würde dies gerne wieder tun, oder ein Haus mit großem eingezäuntem Garten. Gegenüber Fremden zeige ich deutlich, dass die nichts hier verloren haben. Auch meine Bezugspersonen werden von mir beschützt, wenn ihr keine Führung übernehmt. Wer kann mir helfen, diesen Traum in Erfüllung gehen zu lassen. Gebt ihr mir die Chance möchte ich euch zeigen, was ich für ein liebevoller Hund sein kann. Schreibt mir gerne eine Mail und ich hoffe, wir lernen uns mal kennen:

About Axo

What life with Axo looks like

Axo is a large senior dog waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs large fenced property, knows muzzle, grumpy senior requiring patient handling

🇩🇪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.
