Ivan

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 1 year

Ivan• Kaukasischer Schäferhund Rüde, geb. 2025 60 kg, 70 cm Schulterhöhe Ivan, unser „Pony“ sucht Menschen die Erfahrung haben mit dieser Rasse und verstehen, dass sie andere Bedürfnisse haben als der Durchschnitts- Haushund. Bei seine Bezugspersonen die er respektiert, ist er äußerst loyal. Er ist rassebedingt sehr wachsam. Altersbedingt testet er gerne noch seine Grenzen, akzeptiert diese aber wenn sie klar und souverän gesetzt werden. Er läuft bei uns in eine Gruppe mit Herdenschutzhunde moderiert mit und das klappt prima. Mit seiner 70 cm Größe und 60 Kg Gewicht sollte man standfest sein. Ivan möchte nicht in der Stadt wohnen. Ivan ist kinderlieb, nur für hundeerfahrene Menschen geeignet, verträglich mit Rüden, verträglich mit Hündinnen Ivan befindet sich nicht bei uns im Tierheim, sondern: Hundertpfoten Hotel in Dithmarschen Bei Interesse an Ivan kontaktieren Sie bitte:

About Ivan

What life with Ivan looks like

Ivan is a extra-large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Ahrenshöft in Ahrenshöft.

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 Ivan, answered.

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