Age: 15.01.2024 Breed: Shepherd mix Sex: Female Neutered: Yes Origin: Sardinia Location: 52372 Kreuzau Shoulder height: Approx. 55 cm Weight: Currently 18 kg Vaccinated: Yes Microchipped: Yes Mediterranean check: All negative Illnesses: None known Along with males: Yes Along with females: Yes Along with cats: No Along with children: Yes. Fiona is one of 9 puppies, all of whom are looking for a home of their own. They are currently in an animal shelter. She is now 18 months old and has not yet seen much of the world. She will surely view everything with great suspicion (be anxious). Therefore, her people should be experienced with dogs, perhaps fond of shepherd dogs, and bring plenty of time and patience.

About Fiona

What life with Fiona looks like

Fiona is a large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at NiemandsHunde in Kerpen.

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 Fiona, answered.

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