Lupin

German Shepherd · Male

Warum ist Lupin im Tierheim? Ganz einfach: seine Familie hatte keine Lust mehr auf ihn. Man überließ ihn sich selbst den ganzen Tag. Das hatte zur Folge, dass Lupin sich selbstständig auf den Weg machte. Das gefiel den Nachbarn nicht, man rief die Ordnungsbehörde und das Ende war nun die Abgabe ins Tierheim. Lupin versteht die Welt nicht mehr. Er hat ja nichts falsch gemacht und nun sitzt er im kleinen Zwinger. Lupin ist ein sehr, sehr freundlicher, menschenbezogener Hund. Er will gefallen und alles richtig machen. Lupin ist einfach nur ein Schatz. Die Gassigänger vor Ort lieben es, ihn auszuführen. Er geht gut an der Leine und hält immer Kontakt zum „anderen Ende der Leine“. Lupin ist verträglich mit Artgenossen. Gerne schauen wir, ob er auch Katzen mag, indem wir mit ihm die Katzenkolonie vor dem Tierheim „besuchen“. Wir suchen für Lupin ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause mit Garten. Kinder sollten 14 Jahre oder älter sein. Mit der richtigen Erziehung bekommt man mit Lupin einen treuen Begleiter und tolles Familienmitglied. Haben Sie Fragen zu Lupin? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde kommen selbstverständlich gechipt, entwurmt und komplett geimpft mit einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport nach Deutschland. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Lupin

What life with Lupin looks like

Lupin is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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 Lupin, answered.

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