Harper

Female · Young · 2 years

Name: Harper. Breed: Schäfer-female dog. Color: Black. Born: geb. 06/2024, approx. 60 cm tall, approx. 25 kg weight. Status: vaccinated, microchipped, EU-Pass. Character: Harper shows every day, despite her difficult start in life, how much potential is in her. When she came to the animal shelter, she first had to be lovingly fattened up. She hasn't had much opportunity to get to know many things so far, probably because she was only kept in the apartment. Breed-specific and due to her past living conditions, she brings a high level of excitement with her. Step by step, Harper is now learning to calm down and better regulate herself. Anyone who knows Harper will experience an incredibly human-oriented, cuddly, and smart female dog who wants to please and quickly learns. With clear guidance, the walking has now been going well, and she continues to develop wonderfully. In direct contact with other dogs, Harper is currently not compatible, as she was long denied the handling with fellow animals. However, during walks, she remains calm and easily approachable at a distance. For this special female dog, we wish for a dog-experienced, quiet home without children – ideally in a rural location. People with patience, heart, and joy in training will find in Harper a faithful companion ready to finally make it in life.

Name: Harper. Rasse: Schäfer-Hündin. Farbe: Schwarz Geboren: geb. 06/2024, ca. 60 cm groß, ca. 25 Kg Gewicht. Status: geimpft, gechipt, EU-PassCharakter:Harper zeigt trotz ihres schwierigen Starts ins Leben jeden Tag aufs Neue, wie viel Potenzial in ihr steckt. Als sie ins Tierheim kam, musste sie zunächst liebevoll aufgepäppelt werden. Viel kennenlernen durfte sie bisher nicht, vermutlich wurde sie nur in der Wohnung gehalten. Rassebedingt und aufgrund ihrer bisherigen Lebensumstände bringt sie ein hohes Erregungslevel mit. Schritt für Schritt lernt Harper nun, zur Ruhe zu kommen und sich besser zu regulieren. Wer Harper kennt, erlebt eine unglaublich menschenbezogene, verschmuste und kluge Hündin, die gefallen möchte und schnell lernt. Mit klarer Führung klappt das Gassigehen inzwischen richtig gut und sie entwickelt sich toll weiter. Im direkten Kontakt mit anderen Hunden ist Harper aktuell nicht verträglich, da ihr der Umgang mit Artgenossen lange verwehrt blieb. Beim Spaziergang bleibt sie auf Distanz jedoch ruhig und gut ansprechbar. Für diese besondere Hündin wünschen wir uns ein hundeerfahrenes, ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder – am besten ländlich gelegen. Menschen mit Geduld, Herz und Freude an Training werden in Harper eine treue Begleiterin finden, die bereit ist, endlich richtig im Leben anzukommen.

About Harper

What life with Harper looks like

Harper is a large young adult dog waiting at Hundesuche Tiere in Not Bayern in Germany.

An 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. 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 Harper, answered.

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