How do I contact the shelter about Lion?

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

Can I adopt Lion if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Lion 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 Lion 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lion 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.

Lion

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Lion is a male Shar-Pei mix puppy, approximately 4/2026 birthdate, friendly and cheerful. He is currently about 31 cm tall and will likely grow to a medium size. A Bulgarian animal rights activist found several puppies huddled together in a bush beside the road. Since they all looked different, we assume a "breeder" wanted to get rid of the little ones and left them there. One or more mother animals could not be seen. To save them from their fate, the certain death, the activist took them all in and we are helping with the placement. Lion shows himself playful in care, but more relaxed, like the other puppies and sociable with his own kind. He is friendly towards humans and enjoys the attention every puppy needs, especially when the mom is missing. We are looking for active people who are aware of the task of raising a puppy with all the ups and downs. Lion is NOT house trained, cannot be left alone, does not know how to walk on a leash, will love to help with redecorating, often questions if the person really means what they said, and has a few wild ideas. With the right training, a lot of patience, calmness, and positive reinforcement; especially with a visit to the dog school to have contact with same-aged fellow dogs, Lion will learn everything quickly. A social first dog, that Lion can orient himself to, would be nice in his new family. The new home should not be in the inner city, preferably on the outskirts or in the countryside, without much stair climbing, where there is more than a park for walks and friends, is available. Lion would also like to come to work, because who wants to wait alone at home all day?! Lion certainly not! Lion will be vaccinated and chipped. He is too young for neutering and the Snap-4-D test. He is in Bulgaria and is ready to go. The deposit for Lion is 580 euros. Do you have the right home for Lion? Then contact us via the following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V.

♂, geb. ca. 4/2026welpentypisch - freundlich - fröhlichin Bulgarien Lion ist ein ca. 4/2026 geborener Sharpei-Mischlingsrüde mit einer derzeitigen Schulterhöhe von ca. 31 cm und propper Statur; er wird voraussichtlich mittelgroß werden. Eine bulgarische Tierschützerin fand einige Welpen zusammen gekauert in einem Gebüsch neben der Straße. Da sie alle unterschiedlich aussahen, gehen wir davon aus, das ein "Vermehrer" die Kleinen loswerden wollte und sie deshalb dort entsorgte. Ein oder mehrere Muttertiere konnten nicht gesichtet werden. Um sie nicht ihrem Schicksal zu überlassen, dem sicheren Tot, nahm die Tierschützerin nach und nach alle bei sich auf und wir leisten Vermittlungshilfe. Lion zeigt sich in Obhut welpentypisch verspielt, jedoch gechillter, wie die anderen Welpen und mit Artgenossen kontaktfreudig. Dem Menschen ist Tiger freundlich gegenüber und genießt die Zuwendung, die jeder Welpe braucht; vor allem, wenn die Mama fehlt. Wir suchen aktive Menschen, die sich der Aufgabe, einen Welpen mit allen Höhen und Tiefen großzuziehen, bewußt sind. Lion ist NICHT stubenrein, kann noch nicht alleine bleiben, kennt das an der Leine laufen nicht, wird beim Umdekorieren sehr gerne helfen, hinterfragt auch öfter, ob der Mensch das gerade wirklich so meint, wie es gesagt wurde und hat ein paar Flausen im Kopf. Mit dem passenden Training, viel Geduld, Ruhe und positiver Verstärkung; vor allem aber mit dem Besuch in der Hundeschule, um mit gleichaltrigen Artgenossen Kontakt zu haben, wird Lion alles schnell lernen. Gerne kann ein sozialer Ersthund, an dem sich Lion orientieren kann, in seiner neuen Familie vorhanden sein. Das neue Zuhause möchte nicht in der Innnestadt liegen, gerne am Stadtrand oder ländlich, ohne viel Treppensteigen, wo mehr als ein Park zum Gassiegehen und Freunde finden, vorhanden ist. Gerne kommt Lion auch mit zur Arbeit, denn wer möchte schon den ganzen Tag alleine zu Hause auf alle warten?! Lion jedenfalls nicht! Lion wird geimpft und gechipt vermittelt. Für da Kastrieren und den Snap-4-D Test ist er noch zu jung. Er befindet sich in Bulgarien und ist startklar. Die Schutzgebühr für Lion beträgt 580 Euro. Sie haben das passende Zuhause für Lion?

About Lion

What life with Lion looks like

Lion is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
