How do I contact the shelter about Lanos?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheimverein Erfurt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lanos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lanos if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheimverein Erfurt 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 Lanos 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 Lanos 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 Tierheimverein Erfurt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lanos 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.

Adopt Lanos

Unknown · Young · 3 years

Together with his large family, Lanos was already freed from poor husbandry by the veterinary office in February 2024. Unfortunately, they have hardly learned anything in their lives and had to start anew here after overcoming their partly enormous fear. Now they all walk on a leash, enjoy the run, and are happy to be petted, learning more things all the time. Caucasoid-type, Lanos is initially skeptical towards strangers and needs a long time to build trust. However, he does not belong to the super-terrified dogs and now goes into new situations with curiosity. Towards his caretakers, he is very friendly and cuddly, loving the contact with his people. Since he did not learn much and city life is often not so great for herding dogs, he is looking for a rural home or, ideally, a home right on the outskirts. Dog-experienced people, better yet, herding dog-experienced individuals, would be an important prerequisite, because somehow herdis are a bit different. Of course, an escape-proof property should also be available, and although he likes to watch, he still wants family connection and to go for walks. Otherwise, he and his family are rather quiet companions, love to go swimming, and now also travel in the car quite calmly. Spontaneous visits are not his thing, so please send an email with a few details about dog care.

Zusammen mit seiner großen Familie wurde Lanos bereits im Februar 2024 vom Veterinäramt aus schlechter Haltung befreit. Leider haben sie in ihrem Leben so gut wie nichts kennen gelernt und mussten hier erstmal von der Pike auf neu anfangen, nachdem sie ihre teilweise riesige Angst überwunden hatten. Mittlerweile laufen sie alle an der Leine, genießen den Auslauf, lassen sich gerne streicheln und lernen immer mehr Dinge kennen. Kaukasentypisch ist Lanos fremden Menschen gegenüber erstmal skeptisch eingestellt und braucht eine ganze Weile um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Er gehört aber nicht zu den Super-ängstlichen Hunden und geht mittlerweile neugierig in neue Situationen. Gegenüber seinen Pflegern ist er aber sehr freundlich und verschmust, er liebt den Kontakt zu seinen Menschen. Da er nicht viel Kennen lernen durfte und das Stadtleben für Herdenschutzhunde in den meisten Fällen eh nicht so schön ist, sucht er ein ländliches Zuhause oder eben direkt am Stadtrand. Hundeerfahrene, besser noch Herdenschutzhunderfahrene Menschen wären eine wichtige Voraussetzung, denn irgendwie ticken Herdis doch etwas anders. Ein ausbruchssicheres Grundstück sollte natürlich ebenso vorhanden sein und obwohl er sehr gerne wacht, möchte er trotzdem Familienanschluss haben und auch Spazieren gehen. Ansonsten zählen er und seine Familie aber eher zu den ruhigeren Gesellen, geht sehr gerne baden und fährt mittlerweile auch recht entspannt im Auto mit. Spontanbesuche findet er nicht so toll, also schreibt bitte eine E-Mail mit ein paar Details zur Hundehaltung.

About Lanos

What life with Lanos looks like

Lanos is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at Tierheimverein Erfurt in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
