Adopt Han Solo

Rottweiler · Male · 2 years

Han Solo is a young, unneutered Rottweiler born 27.10.2022. He came to the shelter after a biting incident and is currently classified as dangerous, requiring a temperament test before adoption. He's an impressive but sensitive male who suffers stress in the shelter environment. He needs security and guidance with social rules. Strangers, loud noises, and unfamiliar situations make him very insecure, causing defensive reactions. Once trust is gained, he shows his loving, affectionate side, enjoying cuddles and falling asleep during head massages. He's eager to please during training. Compatible with some dogs depending on sympathy, especially females, but still reactive with larger males. Needs quiet, structured home with experienced dog owners, ground floor housing with secure 1.8m+ fencing. Has hip dysplasia and spondylosis requiring limited physical stress. No children or frequent visitors.

About Han Solo

What life with Han Solo looks like

Han Solo is a large adult rottweiler dog waiting at Bremer Tierschutzverein e.V. in Bremen.

An 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.

Note from the shelter: Hip dysplasia and spondylosis - needs limited physical activity. Classified as dangerous dog after biting incident. Must pass temperament test before adoption.

🇩🇪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 Han Solo, answered.

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