Conan

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Conan is a large boy with a big heart. He loves people, and those who get to know him quickly fall in love with him. He is a mixed breed, partly German Shepherd, weighs 45 kg and is 3 years old. Conan is a kind and calm dog, even when on a leash; but he is quite strong, and if he sees something exciting, he can pull a bit. He does not react to passing bicycles or cars. Conan is a calm and gentle heartthrob who gets along well with other animals. He has met horses and cats, and if he meets other dogs in a calm and controlled manner, this also works well. He may bark a bit at other dogs, but this is frustration and not aggression and is due to being bitten on the tongue in the past. This behavior can be trained. He is also very careful with children. Conan is used to living in an apartment and can therefore function well in such an environment, but he would rather have a home with plenty of space, preferably with access to a garden. He is a dog that becomes very attached to his humans, so it is difficult for him to be alone at home. Alone training should therefore be part of the training in a new home. He can also bark and alert if someone comes, and if there is a closed door between him and something he wants, this is not a guaranteed lock; Conan is good at opening doors. Conan has no known health problems and is now looking for a home where he can get some direction and an owner who gives structure and sets boundaries. He can live with older children.

Conan er en stor gutt med et stort hjerte. Han er veldig glad i mennesker, og de som blir kjent med ham blir fort glad i ham. Han er en blandingshund, delvis schæfer, veier 45 kg og er 3 år gammel. Conan er en snill og rolig hund, også når han går i bånd; men han er ganske sterk, og hvis han ser noe spennende, kan han dra litt. Han reagerer ikke på sykler eller biler som kjører forbi. Conan er en rolig og forsiktig hjerteknuser som går godt med andre dyr. Han har møtt hester og katter, og hvis han møter andre hunder på en rolig og kontrollert måte, går dette også fint. Han kan utagere litt mot andre hunder, men dette er frustrasjon og ikke aggresjon og skyldes at han tidligere har blitt bitt i tunga. Denne atferden kan nok trenes. Han er også veldig forsiktig med barn. Conan er vandt med å bo i en leilighet og kan derfor fungere godt i slike omgivelser, men aller helst ønsker han seg et hjem med god plass, og gjerne med tilgang til hage. Han er en hund som blir svært knyttet til menneskene sine, og han synes derfor det er vanskelig å være alene hjemme. Alenetrening bør derfor inngå som en del av treningen i nytt hjem. Han kan også bjeffe og varsle hvis det kommer noen, og hvis det er en lukket dør mellom ham og noe han har lyst på, er dette ingen garantert sikring; Conan er nemlig flink til å åpne dører. Conan har ingen kjente helseproblemer og ser nå etter et hjem der han kan få litt retning og en eier som gir struktur og setter grenser. Han kan bo med eldre barn.

About Conan

What life with Conan looks like

Conan is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo in Oslo.

An young 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 Norway

Norwegian rescues require thorough background checks. Animals leave with a Nordic pet passport and full vetting. Norway is outside the EU so import rules differ slightly — TRACES applies.

Frequently asked

Adopting Conan, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Conan?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Conan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Conan if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo 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 Conan 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 Conan 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 Dyrebeskyttelsen Oslo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Conan 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 (NO). 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.
