Kyklopas

Male · Adult · 6 years

Update September 2026: Kyklopas doesn't seem fully aware of his breed description. He is mostly unbothered and friendly with people, and the city's environmental stimuli don't faze him at all. Although the stately male is generally compatible with dogs and cats, he doesn't like sharing his people with them and should preferably become a single prince. On walks, Kyklo is a stroller who sometimes has to look at a flower three times before he deigns to move on – until he discovers water. Then his big herding heart lights up and he throws himself enthusiastically into the river. He also knows how to be alone and is a model passenger in the car. Kyklopas is looking for people who appreciate this gentle giant and would rather dangle their feet at the riverbank than go jogging. Update June 2026: Kyklo unfortunately came from the

Update September 2026: Kyklopas scheint sich seiner Rassebeschreibung nicht ganz bewusst. Er ist Menschen gegenüber meist unbefangen und freundlich, umweltreize der Stadt machen ihm gar nichts. Mit Hunden und Katzen ist der stattliche Rüde zwar prinzipiell verträglich, teilt seine Menschen aber nicht gerne mit ihnen und sollte daher lieber Einzelprinz werden. Unterwegs ist Kyklo ein Schlender-Typ, der sich ein Blümchen auch mal dreimal angucken muss bevor er sich bequemt weiterzugehen – bis er Wasser entdeckt. Da geht ihm sein großes Herdi-Herz auf und er schmeißt sich begeistert in den Fluss. Außerdem kennt er es alleine zu bleiben und ist im Auto ein vorbildlicher Passagier. Kyklopas sucht Menschen, die diesen sanften Riesen zu schätzen wissen und lieber die Füße am Ufer baumeln lassen als joggen zu gehen. Update Juni 2026: Kyklo kam leider aus der

About Kyklopas

What life with Kyklopas looks like

Kyklopas is a large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

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.

🇩🇪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 Kyklopas, answered.

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