How do I contact the shelter about Cosme?

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

Can I adopt Cosme if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Cosme 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 Cosme 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 Europa early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cosme 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.

Cosme

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Cosme – a gentle giant with a big heart Cosme is a majestic, beautiful mixed breed herding dog with striking fur markings in warm brown and white tones and a expressive, loving gaze. He has the build of a strong dog – muscular, but at the same time elegant – and exudes a calm, balanced presence. Since the summer, Cosme has been wandering around a gas station, begging for food, but could not be caught. The animal rescuer who also saved Carolina had been keeping an eye on him for a while and hoped to be able to help him one day. Finally, it did work out – and so Cosme came to Carolina with the animal shelter. From the moment he was safely in care, he showed no more suspicion. On the contrary: Cosme is an incredibly loving, trusting, and well-socialized dog. He seeks gentle closeness with people, enjoys cuddles, and has a friendly nature all around. Cosme is calm, peaceful, and social – he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He exudes a pleasant calm and is the perfect companion for people who are looking for a loyal friend with a big heart.

DE·Show original

Cosme – ein sanfter Riese mit großem Herz Cosme ist ein stattlicher, wunderschöner Herdenschutzhund Mischling mit auffälliger Fellzeichnung in warmen Braun- und Weißtönen und einem ausdrucksstarken, liebevollen Blick. Er hat die Figur eines kräftigen Hundes – muskulös, aber gleichzeitig elegant – und strahlt eine ruhige, ausgeglichene Präsenz aus. Schon seit dem Sommer streunte Cosme rund um eine Tankstelle umher, bettelte dort nach Futter, ließ sich aber einfach nicht einfangen. Die Tierschützerin, die auch Carolina gerettet hat, hatte ihn schon länger im Blick und hoffte, ihm eines Tages helfen zu können. Schließlich gelang es doch – und so kam Cosme zu Carolina mit ins Tierheim. Von dem Moment an, als man ihn sicher in Obhut hatte, zeigte er keinerlei Misstrauen mehr. Ganz im Gegenteil: Cosme ist ein unglaublich liebevoller, vertrauensvoller und verschmuster Hund. Er sucht sanft die Nähe zu Menschen, genießt Streicheleinheiten und hat ein rundum freundliches Wesen. Cosme ist ruhig, friedlich und sozial – mit anderen Hunden kommt er wunderbar aus. Er verbreitet eine angenehme Ruhe und ist der perfekte Begleiter für Menschen, die einen treuen Freund mit einem großen Herzen suchen.

About Cosme

What life with Cosme looks like

Cosme is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
