Load More .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-48 > .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container Magnum ist ein beeindruckender Deutscher Schäferhund, etwa 4 Jahre alt, mit viel Ausstrahlung, Intelligenz und Herz. Seine Geschichte zeigt, wie viel Stärke in ihm steckt: Er wurde im Wald gefunden – schwer verletzt, mit einer Infektion, die bereits in Richtung Blutvergiftung ging. Durch eine notwendige Amputation der Rute konnte sein Leben gerettet werden. Heute ist Magnum wieder voller Lebensfreude. Trotz seines schweren Starts ist Magnum ein sehr freundlicher, sozialer Hund. Er lebt aktuell in einem großen Shelter gemeinsam mit rund 90 Hunden – frei, ohne Zwinger – und kommt dort mit allen gut zurecht. Er zeigt sich ausgeglichen im Umgang mit Artgenossen und freundlich gegenüber Menschen. Als typischer Schäferhund bringt Magnum viel Energie, Arbeitsfreude und Lernbereitschaft mit. Er sucht daher aktive, hundeerfahrene Menschen, die die Bedürfnisse dieser Rasse kennen und Freude an artgerechter Auslastung haben – sei es durch lange Spaziergänge, Training, Kopfarbeit oder gemeinsame Aktivitäten im Alltag. Für sein zukünftiges Zuhause wünscht sich Magnum ein ebenerdiges Umfeld, idealerweise mit direktem Zugang nach draußen. Ein Zuhause am Stadtrand oder im ländlichen Raum wäre perfekt, damit er sich ausreichend bewegen und seine Energie sinnvoll einsetzen kann. Magnum ist ein treuer, sensibler Begleiter, der nach allem, was er erlebt hat, nun endlich ankommen möchte – bei Menschen, die ihm Zeit, Struktur und ganz viel gemeinsame Aktivität schenken. .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Magnum

What life with Magnum looks like

Magnum is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

An 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.

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. Nordic Strays 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 — Nordic Strays 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 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 Nordic Strays 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.
