Filou

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

German Shepherd * 14.09.2021 – black – male – neutered – large – ca. 38 kg compatible with children: no compatible with cats: no suitable as a second dog: yes in the animal shelter since: 12/2023 Hi, I'm Filou! I'll get straight to the point, I can be quite the chatterbox when I feel safe and trust you. It's just that I need some time to build trust with new people. I'm a bit introverted and unsure at first. But if you win my heart, I'll show you my crazy side and enjoy being stroked. I would describe myself as eager to learn and enthusiastic. Between us: enthusiasm also applies to treats. I have to admit that I've shied away from school a bit, so basic obedience and dog training are areas where I could use some extra help. I generally get along well with other dogs. But every now and then, I might run into a fellow animal that I simply can't stand. In those cases, I might show you why I'm the coolest of us! Unfortunately, I've had the misfortune of bringing along the typical problems of a Shepherd like HD. So I'm looking for people who are willing to challenge me mentally, even if I can't do everything physically. I'm on the lookout for experienced dog owners. Maybe you've had a German Shepherd before and fallen for my sweet face? I'm looking forward to hearing from you at the animal shelter if you want to set up a date and be patient and understanding during our first meeting. It will be worth it, I promise! Best regards and see you soon! Yours, Filou More photos and videos: ngg_shortcode_4_placeholder You can find more dogs in the Dogs section.

altdeutscher Schäferhund * 14.09.2021 – schwarz – männlich – kastriert – groß – ca. 38 kg verträglich mit Kindern: nein verträglich mit Katzen: nein als Zweithund geeignet: ja im Tierheim seit: 12 / 2023 Hi, ich bin der Filou! Ich rücke gleich mit der Sprache raus, ich kann ein ganz schöner Quatschkopf sein, wenn ich mich sicher fühle und Vertrauen zu dir gefasst habe. Es ist nur so, dass ich am Anfang etwas Zeit brauche Vertrauen zu neuen Menschen aufzubauen. Da bin ich ein wenig introvertiert und unsicher. Habe ich dich aber ins Herz geschlossen zeige ich dir auch meine verrückte Seite und lasse mich gerne streicheln. Ich würde mich als lernwillig und auch begeisterungsfähig beschreiben. Unter uns: Die Begeisterungsfähigkeit trifft natürlich auch auf Leckerli zu. Ich muss zugeben, dass ich bisher die Schulbank ein wenig gemieden habe und daher das Hundeeinmaleins und die Hundeerziehung etwas sind, wo ich ein wenig Nachhilfe brauche. Mit anderen Hunden kann ich meist gut. Ab und an treffe ich aber auch mal auf einen Artgenossen, den ich so absolut nicht leiden kann. Da kann ich dann auch mal zeigen, dass ich der Tollere von uns bin! Leider habe ich das Pech und bringe in den ersten Zügen die typischen Probleme eines Schäferhundes wie die HD mit. Daher suche ich Menschen die Lust haben mich auch geistig zu fordern, falls ich manches körperlich nicht ganz so gut machen kann. Ich bin auf der Suche nach hundeerfahrenen Menschen. Vielleicht hattest du ja auch schon einmal einen Schäferhund und hast dich in mein süßes Gesicht verguckt? Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall, wenn du dich im Tierheim meldest, um ein Date mit mir auszumachen und beim ersten Kennenlernen dann Zeit und Geduld mitbringst. Es lohnt sich, versprochen! Viele Grüße und bis Bald! Dein Filou Weitere Bilder und Videos: ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder Noch mehr Hunde finden Sie in der Rubrik Hunde .

About Filou

What life with Filou looks like

Filou is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Göppingen in Göppingen.

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 Filou, answered.

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