Fanta

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Fanta, Cola and Pepsi are three dogs who have known nothing but the gray walls of a kennel. They came to the canile as tiny, defenseless puppies - a place that offers no protection, but little else. The three have never experienced the big, wide world outside. No meadows, no everyday noises, no gentle hands of a family of their own. This has left its mark: all three are currently anxious dogs, who would rather make themselves invisible in unfamiliar situations. BUT in these three soft dog bodies beat infinitely loving hearts. They want to please, and you can tell in every moment: they would love to jump over their own shadow and leave the cage of their soul and the canile behind. They long to trust in humans completely, but fear sometimes holds them back like an invisible chain. That they can do it deep down, they prove every day on site: to the familiar caregiver they have built up trust. When they see this person, the ice melts, the eyes start to shine and they show what great, loyal and affectionate companions they actually are. What Fanta, Cola and Pepsi need now: We are looking for special people for each of the three (they will be placed individually!) with the following requirements: Patience and time: People who do not expect anything from the dog and give him all the time in the world to arrive in the new life. A quiet environment: A rural or quiet living environment without the hustle and bustle of a city center would be ideal. A confident first dog: An existing, secure and cool first dog in the new home would be a huge help. Fanta, Cola and Pepsi orient themselves strongly on other dogs and could learn from a confident buddy that the world outside is not so scary. Fanta, Cola and Pepsi are like rough diamonds waiting in the dark to finally be polished. With the right amount of love, structure and empathy, they will develop into the most loyal companions for life. For questions about our protégés, or if you would like to offer FANTA a place as a family member on a foster home or end placement, please contact: . You will then receive an email in the first step with our general information on the placement process or the foster activity and our form for self-disclosure.

Habt ihr euch schon mal gefragt, wie es ist, wenn die eigene gesamte Welt nur aus den grauen Mauern eines Zwingers besteht? Fanta, Cola und Peps i kennen leider nichts anderes. Sie kamen bereits als winzige, schutzlose Welpen ins canile – ein Ort, der nicht zwar Schutz bietet, aber darüber hinaus nicht mehr bieten kann. Die 3 konnten bisher nichts von der großen, weiten Welt da draußen kennenlernen. Keine Wiesen, keine Alltagsgeräusche, keine streichelnden Hände einer eigenen Familie. Das hat Spuren hinterlassen: Alle drei sind derzeit ängstliche Hunde, die sich in unbekannten Situationen am liebsten unsichtbar machen würden. ABER in diesen drei weichen Hundekörpern schlagen unendlich liebe Herzen. Sie wollen gefallen, und man merkt ihnen in jedem Moment an: Sie möchten so gerne über ihren eigenen Schatten springen und den Käfig ihrer Seele und den des canile hinter sich lassen. Sie sehnen sich danach, sich dem Menschen ganz anzuvertrauen, doch die Angst hält sie manchmal noch wie eine unsichtbare Kette zurück. Dass sie es tief in sich drin eigentlich können, beweisen sie jeden Tag vor Ort: Zu der ihnen bekannten Pflegerin haben sie mittlerweile Vertrauen aufgebaut. Wenn sie diesen Menschen sehen, schmilzt das Eis, die Augen fangen an zu leuchten und sie zeigen, was für tolle, treue und anhängliche Gefährten sie eigentlich sind. Was Fanta, Cola und Pepsi jetzt brauchen: Wir suchen für jeden der drei (sie werden einzeln vermittelt!) besondere Menschen mit folgenden Voraussetzungen: Geduld und Zeit: Menschen, die keine Erwartungen an den Hund stellen und ihm alle Zeit der Welt geben, um im neuen Leben anzukommen. Ein ruhiges Umfeld: Ein ländliches oder ruhiges Wohnumfeld ohne den Trubel einer Innenstadt wäre ideal. Ein souveräner Ersthund: Ein bereits vorhandener, sicherer und cooler Ersthund im neuen Zuhause wäre eine enorme Hilfe. Fanta, Cola und Pepsi orientieren sich stark an anderen Hunden und könnten sich von einem souveränen Kumpel abschauen, dass die Welt da draußen gar nicht so gruselig ist. Fanta, Cola und Pepsi sind wie Rohdiamanten, die im Dunkeln darauf warten, endlich geschliffen zu werden. Mit der richtigen Portion Liebe, Struktur und Empathie werden sie sich zu den treuesten Begleitern fürs Leben entwickeln. Bei Fragen zu unseren Schützlingen, oder aber wenn Sie FANTA einen Platz als Familienmitglied auf einer Pflegestelle oder Endstelle anbieten möchten, dann melden Sie sich bitte bei: . Sie erhalten dann per Mail im ersten Schritt unsere allgemeinen Infos zum Vermittlungsablauf bzw. zur Pflegestellentätigkeit und unser Formular zur Selbstauskunft.

About Fanta

What life with Fanta looks like

Fanta is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SardinienHunde e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fanta, answered.

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