Lissy

German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 6 years

- freundlich zu Bezugsmenschen - Grunderziehung vorhanden - Vorsicht bei Fremden - bellt viel bei Aufregung - Maulkorbauflage, Trainingsauflage - Artgenossen gegenüber neutral Unsere Lissy wurde aufgrund von Überforderung der Halter sichergestellt und sucht nun ein neues Zuhause. Lissy hat offenbar eine erste Grunderziehung erhalten, und zeigt sich hier schnell kooperations- und lernbereit. Sie zeigt aber viel schäferhundtypisches Verhalten: - bei Erregungslage lautes anhaltendes Bellen- recht wachsam bis territorial - freundlich und kooperativ mit ihren Menschen - bei Fremden abwehrbereitRassetypisch ist sie bei hoher Reizlage sehr aufgeregt und kann sich noch schwer bändigen, sobald die Umwelt aber ruhiger wird, zeigt sie aber was sie kann: an lockerer Leine laufen, Artgenossen ruhig passieren, Basiskommandos. Bei der Erziehung ist noch Luft nach oben, aber der Grundstein ist gelegt und darauf lässt sich aufbauen. Mit Artgenossen zeigt sie sich aktuell recht neutral. Fremde, insbesondere Männer sind ihr anfangs suspekt. Aufgrund der aktuell noch schwer zu kontrollierenden hohen Erregungslage in manchen Situationen hat Lissy eine Maulkorbauflage, welche jedoch nach erfolgtem Training widerrufen werden kann. Wegen ihres wachsamen Verhaltens und der Tendenz anzuschlagen sobald sich etwas nähert, sehen wir Lissy eher außerhalb Hamburgs in einem Einzelhaus und nicht in einer Wohnung. Wenn Sie Interesse an einem noch recht ursprünglichen Schäferhund haben, mit ihr arbeiten und zusammenwachsen, kann Lissy eine tolle Begleiterin werden.

About Lissy

What life with Lissy looks like

Lissy is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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. 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 Lissy, answered.

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