Filou

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Der junge Filou hatte keinen einfachen Start ins Leben. Gemeinsam mit seiner Mama Fenja und seinen fünf Geschwistern wurde er als kleiner Welpe gefunden. Inzwischen ist Filou zu einem fröhlichen, neugierigen und verspielten Junghund, der voller Tatendrang die Welt entdecken möchte herangewachsen. Mit seinem schwarz-weißen Fell, den weißen Pfötchen, der weißen Brust und seinem niedlich gefleckten weißen Schnäuzchen ist er ein echter Hingucker. Besonders bezaubernd sind seine süßen Ohren, die beim Laufen fröhlich flattern und ihm einen ganz besonderen Charme verleihen. Filou liebt es zu spielen, Neues zu erkunden und mit seiner Umgebung auf Entdeckungsreise zu gehen. Spielzeug gehört zu seinen größten Schätzen, und jede neue Erfahrung wird von ihm mit neugieriger Begeisterung aufgenommen. Dabei zeigt er sich offen, freundlich und voller Lebensfreude. Nun wünscht sich der kleine Abenteurer eine eigene Familie, die ihn liebevoll auf seinem weiteren Weg begleitet. Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben, ihm die Welt zeigen und gemeinsam mit ihm die schönen Seiten des Lebens genießen möchten. Mit Geduld, Liebe und einer guten Portion Spaß wird Filou zu einem wunderbaren Begleiter heranwachsen.

About Filou

What life with Filou looks like

Filou is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Einsame Pfoten Zadar e.V. in Niederdreisbach.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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. Einsame Pfoten Zadar e.V. 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 — Einsame Pfoten Zadar 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 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 Einsame Pfoten Zadar e.V. 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.
