Magnum

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Magnum, a gentle senior, 10 years old, 50cm, well-groomed, house-trained. After a life on a chain, this loving senior Magnum from Slovakia is finally seeking his happiness! We will never understand what people can do to an animal: Magnum is a handsome, slender Shepherd mix found by our animal protectors in Slovakia on a chain. His condition was shocking: the collar had cut so deeply into his neck that it had to be surgically removed. Magnum must have lived in this agonizing situation and under pain for a very long time before he could finally be rescued. Today he is safe and can finally live without a chain. He currently lives in a foster home in Slovakia and is familiar with life in the house. There he is already showing himself to be house-trained. He settles down well and really appreciates a cozy basket. But we really want this to be the beginning of his new life - for many more beautiful years, in his own family. Magnum should finally experience how beautiful a dog's life can be: his own soft bed, regular walks, loving people by his side and a home where he can really belong. Magnum was born around October 2016, is 50 cm tall and weighs 20kg. He is a sturdy medium-sized dog who has retained his kindness towards humans. He also gets along well with other dogs in the animal shelter. The cat test was also positive. We can therefore imagine him in a family with other four-legged friends. Engaged beginners are also conceivable. We assume the willingness to introduce a dog from animal protection, who has not yet had the luck to learn a lot, with patience. For his start in a new life, we wish for people who enjoy visiting a dog school with him. Magnum is already used to the harness and leash, and he walks curiously but relaxed. And there is still so much great, what he just wants to know! Magnum has lost many years of his life. All the more we wish him that now - even before the icy winter! - finally the good sides of life begin. He doesn't need to experience great adventures, he doesn't need marathon runs. A loving home, security and people who mean well to him would be his greatest happiness. Who will give this lovable fighter the chance to finally arrive? Magnum is neutered, vaccinated, chipped, examined by a veterinarian and dewormed. His EU pet passport is ready. Magnum deserves it so much, finally loved and cared for. Maybe you are exactly the person he has been waiting for so long. Contact: Or directly via our adoption application: Origin: Slovakia.

Rüstiger, bescheidener Senior,10 J., 50cm, gepflegt, stubenrein Nach einem Leben an der Kette sucht dieser liebe Senior Magnum aus der Slowakei endlich sein Glück! Wir werden es nie verstehen, was Menschen einem Tier antun können: Magnum ist ein hübscher, zierlicher Schäfi Mischling, der von unseren Tierschützern in der Slowakei an einer Kette gefunden wirde. Sein Zustand war erschütternd: Das Halsband hatte sich so tief in seinen Hals eingeschnitten, dass es operativ entfernt werden musste. Magnum muss über einen sehr langen Zeitraum in dieser qualvollen Situation und unter Schmerzen gelebt haben, bevor er endlich gerettet werden konnte. Heute ist er in Sicherheit und darf endlich ohne Kette leben. Er lebt derzeit in einer Pflegestelle in der Slowakei und kennt das Leben im Haus. Dort zeigt er sich bereits als stubenrein. Er kommt gut zur Ruhe, und weiß ein kuscheliges Körbchen sehr zu schätzen. Doch wir wünschen uns so sehr, dass dies erst der Anfang seines neuen Lebens ist – für noch viele schöne Jahre, in einer eigenen Familie. Magnum soll endlich erfahren dürfen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann: ein eigenes weiches Bettchen, regelmäßige Spaziergänge, liebevolle Menschen an seiner Seite und ein Zuhause, in dem er wirklich dazugehören darf. Magnum wurde etwa im Oktober 2016 geboren, ist 50 cm groß und wiegt 20kg. Er ist ein rüstiger mittelgroßer Hundemann, der sich seine Freundlichkeit gegenüber Menschen bewahrt hat. Auch mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich im Tierheim prima. Auch der Katzentest verlief positiv. Wir können ihn uns daher durchaus in einer Familie mit weiteren Vierbeinern vorstellen. Auch engagierte Anfänger sind denkbar. Die Bereitschaft, einen Hund aus dem Tierschutz, der noch nicht das Glück hatte, viel kennenzulernen, mit Geduld einzugewöhnen, setzen wir dabei voraus. Für seinen Start in ein neues Leben wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihm eine Hundeschule zu besuchen. An Geschirr und Leine ist Magnum bereits gewöhnt, und er geht neugierig, aber ganz entspannt spazieren. Und es gibt noch so viel tolles, was er einfach noch kennenlernen möchte! Magnum hat viele Jahre seines Lebens verloren. Umso mehr wünschen wir ihm, dass nun – noch vor dem eisigen Winter! – endlich die schönen Seiten des Lebens beginnen. Er muss keine großen Abenteuer erleben, braucht keine Marathonläufe. Ein liebevolles Zuhause, Geborgenheit und Menschen, die es gut mit ihm meinen, wären sein größtes Glück. Wer schenkt diesem liebenswerten Kämpfer die Chance, endlich anzukommen? Magnum ist kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, tierärztlich untersucht und entwurmt. Sein EU Heimtierausweis liegt bereit. Magnum hat es so sehr verdient, endlich geliebt und umsorgt zu werden. Vielleicht bist genau du der Mensch, auf den er so lange warten musste.

About Magnum

What life with Magnum looks like

Magnum is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Magnum, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Magnum?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Magnum on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Magnum if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Südkreta 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Magnum 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 Magnum 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 Südkreta e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Magnum 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.
