Eiko

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hey, I'm Eiko, a 5-year-old, unneutered male German Shepherd (this breed). I come from a working line and already have experience in dog sports. I know all the basic commands. Since I'm used to running off-leash, I find it very difficult to walk properly on a short leash, and so I pull strongly. On a long line, however, it's no problem—I stay oriented toward my humans and am reliably recallable. I'm a true ball junkie and won't go anywhere without my ball. As long as I have it, I don't care about anything else. Young children shouldn't be in my new home. Cats and other dogs would need to be tested. I'm friendly and open toward people.

Hey ich bin Eiko, ein 5 Jahre alter, unkastrierter Deutscher Schäferhund Rüde. Ich komme aus einer Leistungszucht und habe auch bereits Hundesport-Erfahrung. Mir sind alle Grundkommandos bekannt. Da ich es gewohnt bin frei zu laufen, fällt es mir sehr schwer, ordentlich an einer kurzen Leine geführt zu werden, und desalb ziehe ich stark. An der Schleppleine hingegen ist es kein Problem, ich orientiere mich an meinen Menschen und bin gut abrufbar. Ich bin ein echter Balljunkie und ohne meinen Ball gehe ich nirgends hin. Solang ich den habe, ist mir alles andere egal. Kleinere Kinder sollten nicht in meinem neuen Zuhause sein. Katzen und Hunde müssten getestet werden. Menschen gegenüber zeige ich mich freundlich und aufgeschlossen.

About Eiko

What life with Eiko looks like

Eiko is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Singen in Singen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Tierheim Singen 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 — Tierheim Singen 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 Tierheim Singen 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.
