How do I contact the shelter about Filip?

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

Can I adopt Filip if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Chemnitz 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 Filip 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 Filip 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 Chemnitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Filip 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.

Filip

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

My name is Filip and I am a beautiful Labrador/Jagdhund mixed-breed male dog, 3 years old and have a shoulder height of about 60 cm. I had to leave my old home because I allegedly snatched the baby of the family for no reason. The staff at the animal shelter suspect that there were no structures in the old home and the children were not handled correctly with us, the dogs. Here at the animal shelter, I behave excellently and get along very well with the staff and the walkers, there are no incidents and I am totally loving and friendly to everyone. I walk very well on the leash when it is consistently required and I very much enjoy going for walks with the walkers in nature. I can sit, I am house-trained, and I stay problem-free for a few hours alone without destroying everything and redecorating. During some dog encounters on the leash, I can be a little stormy, but I can be corrected well. I am looking for a home as a single dog where clear routines and procedures exist, a house with an enclosed garden would be my dream. If there are children in the new home, they should already be older (at least 14 years) so that I do not have to be treated as a plaything for the children. If you would like to get to know me, please send an email to the Animal Friends. I look forward to you and of course I am already sitting on packed suitcases.

Mein Name ist Filip und ich bin ein wunderschöner Labrador/Jagdhund Mischlingsrüde, 3 Jahre alt und habe eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 60 cm. Aus meinem alten Zuhause musste ich ausziehen, weil ich angeblich ohne Grund nach dem Kleinkind der Familie geschnappt habe. Die Mitarbeiter im Tierheim vermuten, dass es im alten Zuhause keine Strukturen gab und die Kinder mit uns Hunden nicht korrekt umgegangen sind. Hier im Tierheim verhalte ich mich vorbildlich und komme mit den Mitarbeitern und Gassigehern sehr gut zurecht, es gibt keinerlei Zwischenfälle und ich bin zu allen total lieb und freundlich. Ich laufe sehr gut an der Leine, wenn dies konsequent genug eingefordert wird und gehe sehr gern mit den Gassigehern in die Natur. Ich kann Sitz, bin stubenrein und bleibe problemlos ein paar Stunden allein ohne alles zu zerstören und um zu dekorieren. Bei manchen Hundebegegnungen an der Leine bin ich ein wenig motzig, lasse mich aber gut korrigieren, wenn der Hundeführer souverän reagiert. Ich suche ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen als Einzelhund, wo es klare Abläufe und Routinen gibt, ein Haus mit eingezäunten Garten ist Voraussetzung. Wenn Kinder im neuen Zuhause vorhanden sind, sollten dieser schon Älter (ab 14 Jahre) sein, damit ich nicht als Kinderspielzeug herhalten muss. Wenn Sie mich gern kennen lernen möchten, so schreiben Sie zunächst eine Mail an die Tierfreunde. Ich freue mich auf Euch und sitze natürlich schon auf gepackten Koffern.

About Filip

What life with Filip looks like

Filip is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Chemnitz in Chemnitz.

An young 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.
