Magnus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

At the shelter since: Month/Year Gender: Male/Female Estimated age: born approx. month (written out)/year Estimated shoulder height: approx. 70 – 79 cm Special feature: Sanctuary/Disability (delete if not applicable) Learn Magnus here (= link to the video in the gallery bar; text must be identical to the text in the anchor) know Magnus in a further video! Magnus is looking for a large warm basket - can you offer him one? Magnus lived with his brothers in a kennel on the premises of a company since his childhood. Some people took care of the dogs, but they could not stay any longer. While Magnus was friendly towards people he trusted, he was rather suspicious towards strangers and guarded his area. More information about how the dogs come to the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal protection FAQ. As soon as Magnus notices people outside his kennel, he looks interestedly outside. When visitors approach the door, he stands up and starts wagging his tail happily. Magnus actively seeks human contact and asks for affection by leaning his head or body against them. During contact, he continuously wags his tail and appears attentive and friendly. He reacts interestedly to sounds, raises his ears and is easily motivated by conversation or movement. This furry nose is new at the shelter. Our carers take time to get to know each dog and assess them. Once we know more about the character of this furry nose, we will add to this profile. Of course, you can still fill out a self-assessment for this dog. We suspect that Magnus has a herding dog (HSH) in him. Please inform yourself here about the requirements for adopting a herding dog. HSH mixes are often very independent and need a confident leader. We wish for people who are aware that rescue dogs have a certain history. We can never predict how a dog will react to life in Germany. That's why we're looking for people who have patience, perseverance, and goodwill. But one thing is certain: whoever adopts instead of buys not only gives an animal a second chance, but actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by their side. Already smitten? Send us a self-assessment! Adoption If you are considering adoption, read through the first. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, treated against fleas, and neutered (exceptions are puppies under 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, feel free to send our adoption team a message.

Im Tierheim seit: April 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. April 2024 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 70 – 79 cm Geschätztes Gewicht: ca. 45 – 49 kg Lerne hier Magnus in einem weiteren Video kennen! Magnus sucht ein großes warmes Körbchen, kannst Du ihm eins bieten? Bevor Magnus zu uns kam, verbrachte er sein ganzes Leben gemeinsam mit seinen Brüdern auf dem Gelände einer Firma in einem Zwinger, wo sie von einigen Mitarbeitenden versorgt wurden. Als die Hunde dort nicht länger bleiben konnten, durfte Magnus zu uns ziehen und bekommt nun die Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Schon aus seinem Zwinger heraus beobachtet Magnus aufmerksam, was um ihn herum passiert. Entdeckt er Menschen, schaut er neugierig nach draußen. Sobald sich Besucher nähern, steht er auf und begrüßt sie freudig mit wedelnder Rute. Magnus ist ein menschenbezogener und verschmuster Rüde, der die Nähe zu seinen Bezugspersonen genießt. Er lehnt seinen Kopf oder Körper gerne an, um sich Streicheleinheiten abzuholen, und zeigt dabei mit seiner fröhlich wedelnden Rute, wie sehr er die Aufmerksamkeit genießt. Auch seine Umgebung nimmt Magnus aufmerksam wahr. Geräusche und neue Eindrücke verfolgt er interessiert und lässt sich gut über freundliche Ansprache oder kleine Bewegungsanreize motivieren. Wir vermuten, dass in Magnus ein Herdenschutzhund (HSH) steckt. Bitte informiere dich hier über die Anforderungen bei Adoption eines Herdenschutzhundes. HSH-Mixe sind oft sehr selbstständig und brauchen eine souveräne Führung. Für Magnus suchen wir ein verantwortungsbewusstes, hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, das ihm ein ruhiges und stabiles Umfeld bietet. Er sollte in einer eher ländlichen Umgebung mit einem sicher eingezäunten Garten leben können. Da Magnus sein Zuhause gerne für sich allein hätte, wünschen wir uns für ihn einen Platz als Einzelhund, an dem er die volle Aufmerksamkeit seiner Menschen genießen darf. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Magnus

What life with Magnus looks like

Magnus is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Magnus, answered.

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