Kostakis

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Kostakis hatte keinen leichten Start ins Leben. Der schüchterne Rüde wurde aus einem illegalen Tierheim gerettet, das schließlich geschlossen wurde. Heute ist Kostakis endlich in Sicherheit und darf nun zum ersten Mal darauf hoffen, dass irgendwo seine eigene Familie auf ihn wartet. Für den sanften Schatz wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges und verständnisvolles Zuhause, in dem man ihm die Zeit gibt, die er braucht, um anzukommen. Menschen, die nichts von ihm erwarten, sondern ihn in seinem Tempo die Welt entdecken lassen, werden mit jedem kleinen Fortschritt belohnt. Ein souveräner und ruhiger Ersthund würde ihm dabei sicherlich helfen, sich an seinem neuen Leben zu orientieren und mehr Vertrauen zu fassen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Kostakis sehr gut. Auch den Menschen gegenüber öffnet er sich nach und nach wieder. Hat er seine anfängliche Unsicherheit erst einmal überwunden, genießt er jede Streicheleinheit und zeigt, welch liebevoller und sanfter Hund in ihm steckt. Kostakis kennt das Leben in einer Familie noch nicht und muss das Hunde-ABC sowie den Alltag in Deutschland erst kennenlernen. Mit Geduld, Liebe und Verständnis wird er jedoch Schritt für Schritt lernen, dass das Leben auch wunderschön sein kann. Wenn du diesem besonderen Schatz die Chance auf ein neues Leben schenken möchtest und ihm mit Herz und Geduld zur Seite stehst, dann melde dich gerne bei uns. ❤️

About Kostakis

What life with Kostakis looks like

Kostakis is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 Kostakis, answered.

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