Born in December 2021, he brings the perfect mix of a gentle soul and watchful nature. His curious nature makes him always attentive to his surroundings – and yet, he remains friendly, cuddly, and very clingy towards his primary caregiver. Eiko is naturally more timid and thus requires a home that offers him security and calm. With patience and empathy, he shows trust quickly and then displays his gentle, loving side. To make his daily routine easier in certain situations, he is already accustomed to wearing a muzzle, which he wears without issue. Those who have once closed their hearts to Eiko experience a loyal companion who likes to be close to their person and listens attentively. He is trainable and already knows many commands like sit, stay, come, left, right, here, and paw. This not only shows his intelligence but also his joy in working together. Typical of a German Shepherd, Eiko watches over "his" surroundings – he is a little watchful and controller, always wanting to know where his people are. He has a mild prey drive, but he is reliably recallable, so walks can be relaxed and pleasant. For his future home, we wish for a place with a large, fenced-in yard where he can run freely, rest, and still fulfill his natural tendencies as a watchful dog. This way, he finds the perfect balance of movement, relaxation, and responsibility. Currently, Eiko lives on a loving foster home. For his final family, we wish for experienced dog owners who appreciate his fine perception and meet him with calmness and security. Eiko feels most comfortable in a quieter environment, as too many impressions can quickly overwhelm him. In a structured, calm home, he can be himself – gentle, cuddly, and with a heart full of loyalty. Those who adopt Eiko gain not just a dog but a lifelong friend. Further information about this dog?

Geboren im Dezember 2021, bringt er die perfekte Mischung aus sanfter Seele und wachsamer Natur mit. Seine neugierige Art lässt ihn stets aufmerksam seine Umgebung erkunden – und doch bleibt er dabei freundlich, verschmust und sehr anhänglich gegenüber seiner Bezugsperson. Eiko ist von Natur aus eher ängstlich und benötigt daher ein Zuhause, das ihm Sicherheit und Ruhe bietet. Mit Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen zeigt er schnell Vertrauen und kann sich dann von seiner sanften, liebevollen Seite zeigen. Um ihm den Alltag in bestimmten Situationen zu erleichtern, ist er bereits an einen Maulkorb gewöhnt, den er problemlos trägt. Wer Eiko einmal ins Herz geschlossen hat, erlebt einen treuen Begleiter, der gerne in der Nähe seines Menschen ist und aufmerksam zuhört. Er ist lernfähig und kennt bereits viele Kommandos wie Sitz, Platz, Bleib, Links, Rechts, Hier und Pfote. Damit zeigt er nicht nur seine Intelligenz, sondern auch seine Freude am gemeinsamen Arbeiten. Typisch für einen Herdenschutzhund achtet Eiko auf „sein“ Umfeld – er ist ein kleiner Aufpasser und Kontrolleur, der am liebsten weiß, wo seine Menschen sind. Einen leichten Jagdtrieb bringt er mit, doch er ist zuverlässig abrufbar, sodass Spaziergänge entspannt und angenehm gestaltet werden können. Für sein zukünftiges Zuhause wünschen wir uns einen Platz mit einem großen, eingezäunten Garten, in dem er nach Herzenslust toben, sich ausruhen und zugleich seiner natürlichen Veranlagung als wachsamer Hund nachgehen kann. So findet er die perfekte Balance aus Bewegung, Entspannung und Aufgabe. Aktuell lebt Eiko auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle. Für seine endgültige Familie wünschen wir uns erfahrene Hundehalter, die seine feine Wahrnehmung zu schätzen wissen und ihm mit Ruhe und Sicherheit begegnen. Eiko fühlt sich in einer eher ruhigen Umgebung am wohlsten, denn zu viele Eindrücke können ihn schnell überfordern. In einem strukturierten, gelassenen Zuhause kann er jedoch ganz er selbst sein – sanft, verschmust und mit einem Herz voller Loyalität. Wer Eiko adoptiert, gewinnt nicht nur einen Hund, sondern einen wahren Freund fürs Leben. Nähere Informationen zu diesem Hund?

About Eiko

What life with Eiko looks like

Eiko is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. in Egelsbach.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Eiko, answered.

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